Availability of alpha "Easy Juju on Azure" disk image

[Andrew Wilkins]

Hi Samuel,

Looks neat. A few things:
 1. Once the VM is ready, the entire landing page keeps refreshing at 1s
intervals. That doesn't leave a lot of time to add the .publishsettings
file and upload.
 2. There's no feedback to say whether or not the .publishsetttings file
has been uploaded, and whether bootstrapping is underway. I guess I did it
twice because of point 1, because now I have two "juju bootstrap" processes
on the machine :)
 3. When the GUI eventually came up, it wouldn't accept the password that
the page displayed. This is related to point 2: the page gave me the link
to the GUI for one env, and the password for the other.

It'd be great if the "upload credentials" bit greyed out once uploaded, and
then under "3. Wait for a few minutes..." there was something describing
the current status. e.g. "Installing Juju", "Deploying Juju GUI".

Cheers,
Andrew
