Geralyn has a good point. I don't think you can mix Azure PaaS and ACS IaaS. To best of my knowledge, Microsofts PaaS solution is not something you can implement in-house.

I haven't dug in much past the glossies, but the question to be seen is can we run parts of that on top of an ACS cloud. My guess is yes. Anyways, I'll leave the tech convo off the marketing list and bring up on dev at the appropriate time. Was just saying it looks like there's a possibility here, and if so it'd be a fun PR stunt. If we can team up with openshift and cloudify guys and do a joint cross marketing venture it will help as well. Maybe plugins into each on application level or just set of videos on how to run ACS and PaaS. I poked a bit at the openshift dude when he was at CloudStack collab in Santa Clara, asking what RH's plans were to work closer with ACS. The response was more or less "if you write something so we integrate tighter, we'd love to see it."[2] John 1: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-azure-pack/ 2: And make money off it.
