> Meanwhile, in the Azure cloud: Practically nothing has a "copy" option. Deploying basic resources such as SQL Virtual Machines or App Service environments can take hours. Snapshotting a VM takes a full copy. Etc...
To add to the list of etc, I can't query across two databases in azure SQL.
You can't even copy an Azure SQL Database across subscriptions! This is something that comes up regularly at my day job: there's an Enterprise Agreement production subscription, and an Enterprise Dev/Test subscription for non-production that's much cheaper. This would be great, except for stupid limitations like this.
