[TriPython] Python on Azure

[Ken M]

I will look into that.  Part of me is wondering though with all I hear
is the juice worth the squeeze.

The main reason for looking at azure:

1.  sql server PAAS - I gotta admit so far that is a pretty slick setup
2.  the overall structure of an azure setup will be an easy transition
for our current network architecture staff which already is versed in
windows setups and in particular active directory
3.  Ok for an azure feature I think is slick is the setup of virtual
developer labs.

But at the end of the day I can spin up an ubuntu server instance and
deploy a microservice using falcon and sqlalchemy to hit a sqlserver db
in under an hour and, from scratch.  So far I have spent so much time on
this and the main incentive was hey I can teach the other developers to
just click this button or that button in visual studio or team services.
I liked the idea of the app instances for horizontal scaling on demand
without too much work.  But nothing we are talking about at this stage
has heavy load demands.

Out of curiosity is AWS deployment for python api's simpler?
