What's needed is for Microsoft to make Azure machine learning accessible to a wider audience, via visualization tools with the level of ease of use like Tableau.
Does Tableau finally allow to load images from the database?
Microsoft Officially Launches Azure Machine Learning Platform

#12Great usability, but it only integrates happily with other Microsoft cloud services. You can't read from BigQuery or Amazon RDS, for example - only the Microsoft equivalents. It's a deeply disappointing decision, and already rules it out for a use case in our firm.
Microsoft shouldn't forget how GM was driven to bankruptcy at least partially by its inhouse part sourcing policy. If there's a weak link in the Microsoft cloud offering, users will simply hold out for Amazon's equivalent platform, which is undoubtedly a matter of time.
You're a challenger in the arena, so don't act like an entrenched incumbent.

All signs point towards Microsoft opening up their platforms rather than locking people in. I expect that in this case, it's more to do with the overhead of piping data in to and out of their data centers (I.E. paying for bandwidth) as opposed to getting bandwidth for free by having the data colocated with their ML servers.

Fair call on MS, but this allows for free downloading of datasets from public URLs. Surely that's more expensive than downloading from the other cloud platforms, given that you've got a (probably?) higher likelihood of USA-based hosting when pulling from AWS/Google.

That is what this product is. (I work on this team, by the way)
Congrats! And please extend the congratulations to the whole team. I was very impressed the first time I put my hands on the beta.

#16I'd prefer them improving UI allowing such simple things in browser as root shell to Linux VM. Otherwise you can kill hour or two trying to reset password that ex-colleague forgot to pass you. Sometimes you can't do it at all, without contacting support .....

Sweet! Thanks for bringing that forward. If you ever make an academic edition that students could play with, please let me know! http://linkedin.com/in/tekelsey

The product is free to use with certain limits. If some of the limits are too restrictive for students, we should chat.
