This outage talks about what appears to be a VM control plane failure (it mentions stop not working) across multiple regions.
AWS has never had this type of outage in 20 years. Yet Azure constantly had them.
This is a total failure of engineering and has nothing to do with capacity. Azure is a joke of a cloud.
AWS had an outage that blocked all EC2 operations just a few months ago: https://aws.amazon.com/message/101925/
This was the largest AWS outage in a long long time and was still constrained to a single AWS region.
Which is my point.
The same fault on Azure would be a global (all-regions) fault.
I do agree that Azure seems to be a lot worse: its control plane(s) seems to be much more centralized than the other two.
