as AlanT already mentioned we are looking into bringing UTM on MS Azure, though we do not have any fixed timeline yet.
However you can rest assured that we will update you in the forum with more details ones we have them ready and can launch a beta for UTM on MS Azure.
I hope that this gets implemented too. TrendMicro, Kerspersky, checkpoint, Fortinet all got something in Azure and the adoption rate of Azure IaaS, Paas and Hybrid solutions plus its full on support for Linux and other 3rd party OS and solutions is growing at an amazing rate.
Sophos could do well to bring the first fully supported UTM which also happens to align in features to TMG. I see endless possible solutions for a UTM solution in Azure cloud.
I also have tried to upload the UTM image to Azure but could not get it to work.
This is not the appropriate place for this discussion. This forum is for the UTM AWS HA beta only. If you wish to see better Azure implementation, the only place it will be considered from is the feature request site at UTM (Formerly ASG) Feature Requests: Hot (2060 ideas)
