No, there's a division called "Cloud and Enterprise Engineering Group". This suggest that either it encompasses non-cloud offerings specific to enterprise or the cloud they're building is targeting specifically enterprise.
Either way, they will not be focused on making Azure a product I wouldn't be interested in: 1 of 2 focuses or targeting someone I'm not.
Furthermore, looks like they've split sales/marketing from engineering which will probably help them build more features which are irrelevant to me and put as many PMs between the clients and engineers as possible.
- ethomson 13y agoThat you're condemning Azure based on the name of the business unit its produced in and the location of sales and marketing people in a company makes me think that even if we'd named it "JOnAgain's Special Cloud!" that it would be unlikely to have been of interest to you. (Edit: obviously by "we" I mean "my employer Microsoft", not that I had anything to do with any of these decisions.)
- marshray 13y agoI too work in the newly-named "Cloud and Enterprise" group. Previously we were "Server and Tools Division" which also included Active Directory, Azure, and some other stuff as well. The new name makes a lot more sense to me (and makes for a better acronym too).
