Azure REST API versus SDK

["Eduard Koller (MS OPEN TECH)" <ed...@microsoft.com>]

Hi everyone,

As previously discussed we feel there are very good reasons for implementing the Azure support using the SDK rather than the REST API. However, having considered feedback from the community here we have decided that our efforts should be directed towards supporting the exiting work to support Azure using the REST API. Our driver he is not really a technical one, but a community one. Our goal, like yours, is to help build a community to maintain the code.

To this end I will close off the pull request issued. All review comments will be very valuable in implementing support using the REST API.

We look forward to sending pull requests in the near future.

Thanks Eduard and Ross,

I really appreciate that. We really look forward to having a proper
Azure provider, and joining efforts in a single development line will
definitely help moving forward faster.

I will help in whatever I can to make that happen.


Thanks!

I.

Another big +1. Thanks, Eduard and everyone else involved, for moving  
this forward. Looking forward to much more Azure use from the jclouds  
community!

PS: One piece of feedback we've had from various users is that  
up-to-date examples in jclouds-examples [1] are perhaps the most  
useful source of documentation for new users trying to get a  
particular provider to work. If you're thinking of creating  
documentation, I would suggest considering this option before e.g.  
working on a provider guide.
