Hi, Regina Obe, Thank you. Some enterprises/organisations are implementing Azure, and get data at one place. My gut feeling is that a lot of these components on Azure may not be able to offer what PostgreSQL/PostGIS can offer. I am trying to see how best PostgreSQL/PostGIS can play an important role on the Azure and interplay and interoperate with other components. Obviously, many organisations have a wide range of types of data. I would like to see that PostgreSQL/PostGIS can play an important role on the Azure. We must have some strong and factual points in hand to persuade others. It is along this line that I am thinking.
