The message that you stopped development is clear, but what alternatives to this package do you suggest. Is there better functionality on Azure or in another R package to farm out processes to low cost vm's on Azure?

There are some Azure services that I can suggest.

HDSight: You can use any VM sizes https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/hdinsight/r-server/r-server-overview

Azure Machine Learning Server: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/machine-learning-server/rebranding-microsoft-r-server

Azure Machine Learning Services: I believe you can take your R scripts and distribute the script + training data to different nodes. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning

Azure R packages: There's a collection of R SDKs for Azure. You can use the AzureVM R package to spin up some low cost VMs as well. https://github.com/Azure/AzureR https://github.com/Azure/AzureVM
