I’ve worked with their consultants and they were lovely. They hate Azure too.

I imagine that no one likes Azure.

    The only good thing Microsoft azure ever did for me was provide a very easy way to exploit their free trial program in the early 2010s to crypto mine for free. It couldn’t do much, but it was straight up free real estate for CPU mining. $200 or 2 weeks per credit/debit card.

      Ah, I did the same, but wasn't the experience/UI back then pretty nice too?

      I haven't used azure since then, but I remember the web interface was way more polished than aws and things worked ok (spinning up a VM was fast etc).

      So I'm confused by how everyone seems to hate it now.

    We use Azure for desktops and we pay $600/month for 4 cores, getting performance comparable to a $60 Intel N100 chip.

      We tried this (and M$ sold it hard) and never went to production with it (except for a couple of niche use cases). It was obviously not going to meet expectations before we were half way through the PoC.

    Azure container apps are a great (idea) and work mostly fine as long as you don’t need to touch them. But they’re just like GCR or what fargate should be - container + resources and off you go.

    We ran many internal workloads on ACA, but we had _so may issues_ with everything else around ACA…
