Azimuth is our first release using our new naming scheme, based around astronomical terms. An azimuth is a measurement used in spherical coordinate systems, representing the angle in degrees between the projected vector of a point of interest and a reference vector on a horizontal plane projected perpendicularly from the observer.

When used in an astronomical sense, the azimuth represents the direction to a celestial body from a point of reference. The azimuth can also be referred to as the bearing to an object.

As our first release to LightSpeed Cloud of the new year, we’ve allowed ourselves this moment to take our own bearings and reflect on our position before venturing onwards to discover what 2014 will bring.
