Quite oposite! Microsof is the only cloud provider that publicly releases their cloud binaries. You can run cloud version of MSSQL on your local workstation, without any emulation.

I had to dig in (based on the title) to realize this was emulating or stubbing out the Cloud providers logging interface. I was thinking this was a replacement for Azure Stack Hub SDK or ASDK.

Perhaps worth noting, perhaps not, but "floci" is a vulgar word in Romanian, perhaps not the best branding one could choose (seeing as there are quite a few Romanians in software development).
