If you can test and deploy azure stacks to this, as a self hosted solution for "does this work before we deploy it for real" as well as local integration testing, this is massive for developers.
Having a locally hosted simpler instance of azure would be amazing for testing our shit out and making sure we didnt break stuff before we deploy to azure for real $$$
You should look into Azure Local, formerly Azure Stack HCI, but it has limitations like no blob equivalent, but I see another commenter has already mentioned Azurite, as it is the solution that can work on some desktops. Azure Stack Hub is more complete but it requires enterprise hw, eg DELL blades etc, to run with mandatory redundancy requirements so not cheap.
it's not the full stack, but there is a storage emulator: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-azurite
