The Azure SDK is for configuration, creating Azure Tables, Blobs & Queues, arranging & connecting web & worker to data & all as a virtual system, including security services ... the f# was designed to need the least effort for parallel-asych coding, no need to handle delegates !!!!, and it's a declarative, functional language so most things are immutable, easier to avoid pitfalls in the "don't know which server has what" world ...
