I'm trying to find more about it but their web site is much harder to navigate and it's clear that they expect most of their users to access it via the very tightly integrated visual studio tools. Still, they do have REST interfaces behind a lot of these things which should make it possible to use them in different ways. Yeah, azure is kind of an odd duck right now.

First, it's more of a Platform than Infrastructure, so I'm not sure it's 100% consistent to have it on the chart at all (since the rest of them are Infrastructure).

True, I didn't include Rackspace – they would go in the same box as Amazon and vCloud.

Couple of comments. You didn't include Rackspace, which is too bad. They have a REST API for their CloudServers product. Also, is it try that Azure is only an API? I think they have a REST API around management. They also have REST api's around their storage and queue services. Nice post. Couple of comments. You didn't include Rackspace, which is too bad.
