 * So I’d say if you are setting up WordPress from Scratch that you can consider
   this plugin. But for anyone like us that has 7GB or more of images that requires
   us to edit the database without certainty on image link locations, I don’t thinks
   this plugin goes all the way. It’s a proof of concept. AZCOpy does copy the content(
   but you have to have linux access) and AZCOpy doesn’t consider the existing images
   that are database entries and so migrating content is complex.
 * This last piece, the actual migration from WordPress to Azure with updating the
   links in the database is why this plugin won’t go far until someone builds a 
   tool/script that does this. Company’s with organic growth that grow into needing
   Azure can never use this plugin as is. The Velvet Copy tool some have referenced
   does one image at a time updates in the DB. Imagine 14,000 images! I really did
   want to use this but have found another tool that does but doesn’t support Azure
   which means my images will not be on Azure but S3. Again, I wish this was more
   and I could use it.
