Microsoft said that previews of new Windows Azure services will be available from today (7 June 2012) and that Scott Guthrie will host “Meet Windows Azure”, which will be streamed live from 22:00 SAST, to introduce these new services.

Not happening soon, but services as OnApp is readily available throughout various trusted hosting entities in SA. The last time I had communication with both Google and MS in regard with PoPI... did not really receive a straight answer.
