Azure Region in australia. No details on time frame, but they
said they will open datacenters in both NSW and Vic.</div>

<div style="">I'm guessing the pressure from AWS and co opening
up lately started to take its toll on microsoft. I just hope
they don't do something silly like make it an "exclusive"
