I am still miffed that they renamed Azure AD to Entra ID. Definitely not a needless and confusing change.
Wouldn't you be able to do a similar list for any given provider, given sufficient motivation and rage? Or do you think Azure is distinct
You would, but as someone who has interacted with all three big cloud providers at some level, and has seen demos using all three, and has colleagues that have had to do work and/or demos with all three... Azure is by far the worst. Their security is the worst - they have had more than 10 critical security vulnerabilities, most of them cross-tenant, some of them trivial to exploit and should have never gotten into pr…
This is why SharePoint got installed in so many gov/large enterprise in the past, and I have to assume why Azure has any kind of market share today. If it wasn’t a golf course, it was after being wined and dined in Vegas, at least it was when I was last working in government..
Begging and pleading for spot quota, being repeatedly told it's unavailable because the region is full, while the spot price is at the minimum and has been for months
Having quota silently removed because we weren't using it for two weeks, then having to resume begging for months to get it back.
Flat out refusal to let me pay by card on a new subscription - bank transfer only - on the same account as other subscriptions paying 10k/mo bills by card.
The UX, latency and API design consistency were absolutely terrible when I was forced to use Azure
Concur with #200. My number 1 issue with all of Microsoft's cloud offerings, especially Power Platform, is how difficult they make it for developers to get things done in large organizations. Every tutorial and piece of documentation seems to assume you are an administrator in your tenant, and if you aren't, good luck figuring out who administers the particular combination of functionality you're fighting today. Note…
There is a lot to complain about on Azure. But a lot of his posts are wrong (he just could not figure it out - a documentation problem likely) or complaining not about Azure, but Terraform.
About the terraform part, I am not sure about how it works for Azure, but GCP providers are developed /maintained by Googlers. Assuming it's the same, terraform problems are actually Azure problems (IMHO). Disclaimer: Googler but working nowhere close to Google's Terraform efforts.

Inconsistent API design is the hallmark of growth by acquisition
I don't doubt the rule but in MS's case it's commonly about constant warring between the interdepartment fiefdoms.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
