I'm a little confused by this question. I know code review is important, but I'm not sure where it fits into the version control workflow. I'll have to review my notes and try to figure this out.

Okay, I've got a good handle on the connectivity options now. I think the best approach is to consider the security and performance requirements for accessing Azure, and then match that to the appropriate connectivity solution.
