Azure R

Abstract

1. Introduction

AzureR is a family of packages for working with Azure from R. They are designed to be lightweight yet powerful by working directly with the Azure REST API, without any dependencies on other languages.

Currently, AzureR is not intended to support all of Azure; its focus is mainly on the Azure services that are most likely to be relevant to R users.

The family includes the following members. All the packages are available on CRAN, and the individual repositories are also mirrored at the cloudyr project.

2. Objective

Family of packages for interacting with Azure from R

This project demonstrates how modern tools can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.
