Hi... I've made the decision to concentrate the type provider on Azure Storage, so I'm not sure that this feature really fits with the provider any more. I know that other people are working on a more generic Azure service type provider, probably based around certs etc.
I agree about focusing on storage part. Closing the issue.
I know it's not easy to do but can be nice to have programmatic access to Import/Export Service. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn529096.aspx Right now dev story is horrible because the service is half-ass WCF implementation meaning WsdlService provider cannot be used.
