<div dir="ltr">In my opinion, it is not easy to support boto from Windows Azure since they use Hyper-V not Xen for their virtualization. They have different steps to launch VM instances.<div><br></div><div>I have seen many people use StarCluster for boto-supported cloud services and I thought it doesn't hurt if they can use StarCluster in other services like Azure as well, even though the services have different interfaces. I am willing to put some efforts to port StarCluster to Windows Azure without ruining the main structure of StarCluster. I guess awsutil.py is a main source for handling Amazon Cloud with boto and for Azure, it may need a separated file (e.g. wazutil.py) to handle Azure Cloud with their client sdk. It would be appreciated if I can hear any comments and feedbacks for that.</div>
