The Windows Azure platform Partner model has ‘Embedded Windows Azure Platform’ and ‘Built for Windows Azure Platform‘ elements. In the ‘Embedded Windows Azure Platform’ Channel model, a partner can build a service or set of offerings on the Windows Azure platform and sell these to their customers without requiring the customer to have a relationship with Microsoft. In this case, Microsoft will give partners a discount for consuming platform resources. In the ‘Built for Windows Azure Platform’ Channel model, a partner builds and sells services or offerings which are accessible via the Windows Azure platform. Customers are responsible for any Windows Azure platform usage associated from the partner’s service and pays Microsoft for that.
