I have never tried it, but you can basically take this as a blueprint, and replace the google storage part with a storage backend that is working in Azure. As far as I know, Azure has its own storage API, but there are workarounds to expose an S3 interface (google for Azure S3). So, the strategy would be to setup an S3 API, and then use the S3 remote provider for Snakemake. In the future, Snakemake will also support Azure directly as a remote provider.
