Cloud computing and the utility model leading to lower priceArchitects / devs now have to start considering the cost of azureJumping outside of the datacentre costs moneyOriginally designed to use the service bus – moved to interrole

Contain your cloudKeep from spreading around your applicationMuch like using a DALSingle point of contact for all your infrastructure needs
Multiple accounts on azure (can have dev test qa) - allows testing in the real environment no surprises here
