My formal goal in joining this group is of course to bring community-supported and high-quality CentOS images to Microsoft Azure.  At Microsoft I drive the technical collaboration with many of the various Linux distributions that exist in the Azure Gallery - which includes numerous efforts around image creation, testing and support of these images on Azure.  I hope to do the same with the CentOS community.

We work closely with the upstream developers to ensure customers have a great experience running CentOS in Hyper-V/Azure virtualized environments.  Having official CentOS images I think will allow us to build and continue to improve on those efforts.
