I am an open source engineer at Microsoft. We have few customers who are blocked by Azure compute support on jclouds when using ARM mode. We have couple of folks who can help out in getting the ARM implementation going. Given that there is an implementation using the class API already, we can create a `jclouds-azurecompute-arm` repo maybe? Would be great to work with you guys so we are doing the right thing from the start and get guidance when/where needed to maximize productivity.
