I had some suggestions for the next version,
1) Azure Driver: * Only supports the 'old' way of authenticating, continue this method * Offer the new Azure AD/OAuth method as a secondary option for instantiating a driver - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460782.aspx This is Microsoft's recommended approach and it's probably a matter of time until they stop supporting certificates (according to an 'insider'). 2) A Backup Driver type: I'm looking at adding support for the DD Cloud Backup service and it doesn't really fall under the compute functionality. There are a few other providers offering very similar functionality on the market Azure Rackspace Dimension Data https://developer.rackspace.com/docs/cloud-backup/v1/developer-guide/ Azure https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/backup/ This would be very similar to the DNS driver type. 3) Removing the opsource driver, this is superseded by the Dimension Data driver and has been for a while now. Ant
