Azure pacemaker not compatible or supported by IBM for Workload Automation.

We have the IWS masters and Agents(SAP) on Azure cloud. As we are using IBM DB2 for master as primary database, DBA team uses IBM pacemaker for the high availability and redundancy. But on the SAP clients, SAP team uses Azure Pacemaker for the high availability and redundancy. But we recently came to know that IBM Workload Automation does not support Azure Pacemaker. Seems to be a common misalignment from the tool that it does not support all pacemaker products in general. This is a high risk situation for us when we face any problem with the application due to pacemaker. 
So we would like to bring this as an high priority IDEA or Enhancement to include Azure pacemaker in the support matrix of workload automation. Expecting some initial assessment and answer on this.
