Microsoft has launched its Azure cloud platform in Australia, letting developers deploy applications on the company's data centres in North American, Europe and in the Asia Pacific. However, deployments to the closest and fastest data centre — Asia Pacific — will cost three times as much as the other data centres.

While pricing is the same for Microsoft's Azure data centres in Europe and North America, costing A$0.10 per gigabyte in and A$0.15 per gigabyte out, deployments to the Asia Pacific data centre will cost A$0.30 and A$0.45 respectively for the same service.
