Hey Greg, I was just talking to Sales about R2 yesterday, and they said that it was not live yet. Can you clarify availability?

In my opinion, expect 3-6 months for the beta, then maybe 2 years for GA. Storage at scale isn't easy, especially if they want to be comparable to aws in speed, SLA, data protection (ie. duplicated to 3+ physical data silos), etc.
