[AusNOG] Azure?

[Tom Berryman]

No it was indicted that they would outsource the DC operation in both cases but did not announce which (if any) had been chosen at this time.

This was a large about face.

Microsoft has just annouced that they are opening up an Azure Region in australia. No details on time frame, but they said they will open datacenters in both NSW and Vic.

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" partnership with telstra like Office365.

A friend who works for probably one of the biggest Azure partners in Australia suggests that there are no plans for an Australian outfit at this time. I'd imagine they'd be apprised to this information as they are a big customer and would be keen to move into Australian based instances immediately if they were available!
