I agree you shouldn't be in this position if you have both decided on Debian, Dmitry. I'll connect with you to see if I can help. > I'm bringing this discussion to José Miguel Parrella "bureado", who > besides being a Debian Developer works as "Open Source Strategist for > Emerging Markets in Latin America" in Microsoft.

Josh commented on this already but for those of you not attending DebConf both Michael and Josh mentioned today that work is in progress to bring a Debian image to Azure soon. The DebConf target unfortunately slipped but Fall 2015 is the new target. There are no technical reasons blocking Debian from working on Azure [1]. There are Debian customers in Azure today, and some DDs including henrich and waldi have been working in packaging, test builds as well as providing (very valuable) input both for Hyper-V as well as for Azure. bureado [1] https://vmdepot.msopentech.com/List/Index?sort=Featured&search=debian
