If you look at it as generic could provider it’s not good, but if you look at it as making m$ run they’re software instead of you it’s awesome because most m$ software is not fun to run
The company I work for loves Azure. If it’s not available as an Azure service it won’t be used (except for uptime kuma). Some time ago there was a global Azure outage and we could do literally nothing.
But they promised we could save a ton of money with their monitoring dashboards we won’t look at until suddenly we get a bill that is 5x what they promised!
Lifting and shifting an existing monolithic architecture to the cloud with zero modernization changes will result in a higher cost than leaving it in a data center.
Converting the application to use as much serverless and microservice-based technology as possible is where the cloud ROI is.
I don’t get the appeal of azure because of things like this.
annoying how much they try to push it
I personally prefer Azure over AWS.

Azure is absolute trash. Its like Word but for the cloud.
I mean, they do have word for the cloud now… But I get what you’re saying
Word for the cloud is like Word, but for the cloud.
Moving to the cloud is a business decision not a technical one.
Csuite sees us spending Capex 200K on a server or 2 and several thousand opex per year to maintain it.
Cloud takes that 200K Capex and move it to Opex with significant markup markup.
From a technical pov we st it as a waste but business will business itself into cost overruns

For a lot of things, that means pretty much re-architecting and re-coding an entire application / system pretty much from scratch.
Walled garden or die
Thats how i read azure
