Microsoft AZURE Cloud Service BaaS - Ethereum or Syscoin ?

[arcticlava]

Both Ethereum and Syscoin have announced agreements with the Microsoft AZURE cloud development service for BaaS (Blockchain as a Service). Why two blockchains? Is either one up and running on Azure yet?

Vcash XVC, because has zerotime (instant transactions), chainblender (anon), the only one that poloniex audited the code and accept with just 1 confirmation and it wasn't pumped yet. The news about azure isn't official yet.

So Microsoft is interested in THREE different blockchains as a service for Azure ?  Can anyone can enlighten me as to what they are thinking?  It sounds like they are just experimenting without a plan. 

I wonder also if Amazon Web Services (AWS) has any similar ideas.  If anyone on the forum has plans to use Azure blockchain services, PM me, or post in this thread.

I think Microsoft wants every blockchains on their Azure cloud platform.  http://www.coindesk.com/microsoft-blockchain-azure-marley-gray/

With Azure cloud services, you press a button that says "Deploy to Azure" and it will setup a full Ethereum, Syscoin, Bitshares, Bitcoin, etc... node.  The code to get a coin working on Azure isn't that difficult either.

Ethereum Ubuntu Azure VM: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/ethereum-cpp-on-ubuntu
Syscoin Ubuntu Azure VM: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/syscoin-on-ubuntu
Bitshares Ubuntu Azure VM: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/bitshares-ubuntu-vm
Bitcoin CentOS Azure VM: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/bitcore-centos-vm

The end user sees this page:  https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/templates/monero-on-ubuntu/

So all you need is the Azure quickstart templates tested and approved by Microsoft by merging it into their repo.  I think there is a standard partnership agreement form that needs to be completed.

I plan to add coins to Azure.

Microsoft seems to want every blockchain in existence on its Azure cloud platform, EXCEPT bitcoin blockchain. They have even announced partnerships with Lisk and others that have not even been launched yet. Are they waiting for RootStock?  . . .  or something else???
