Hello Abishek, Does it mean that you are going to build and expose the dashboard with system tests running on Microsoft Azure provider - similarly as Amazon, Astronomer, Google, Terraform did?
I guess that request will have to wait for it to happen - as a way to actually show that the "intention" meets the "actual work done". Do you agree it's a great prerequisite before adding a new provider? (and BTW - the new provider should also be only included when the dashboard and system tests for it is there). I think it's a pretty reasonable expectation and a very straightforward way to "put your money where your mouth is". What do you think? J.
