Azure is the most developer hostile cloud environment. I have zero sympathy for people being affected by this because if you voluntarily use Azure then this is what you deserve. Sorry for being so miserable, but Azure has given me soooo much grief over the last 10 years that I'm just completely done with this shitshow of a platform.

Works for me (not right now, but in general).

Of course, there's always someone who will say that -.-

Did Windows ME and Windows Vista also work really great for you?

And yet it continues to rake in billions + grow 20-40% month over month (even if it is slowing)

I'm so surprised by MS's strategy for using random domains and TLD's, this certainly don't make it easy for phishing avoidance.

Luckily Microsoft also provides a service for that: Safelinks https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/off...

Also a personal favorite of mine: http://microsft.com (not entirely sure if its just to prevent typosquatting or if this is actually used in some products)

What about the people who work for companies use Azure and were not involved in the decision?

They all have little hair left on their heads and I feel somewhat sorry for them.

Windows ME was one of my favorite versions of Windows, not being ironic about it either. Its infamy has more to do with how Joe Average uses computers in general.

As for Vista, while I did not use it in its day I can tell its problems were far more to do with crapass hardware manufacturers and their crapass drivers. Vista with access to 7's drivers and hardware runs just fine.

Ive used gcp and ive been billed like 10% of minimal wage for setting GCPs demo with like 7 very simple microservices (i dont remember exactly) 4 times and every of them was running like 5 minutes after being deployed and then project was killed

Shit is expensive as hell

For the same money I could rent some weak linux box for a year

Or something decent for a month

Edit 10ms

What's the point of having a status page if it doesn't indicate the issues? https://status.azure.com/en-us/status Azure, Teams, Outlook are almost down from Greece and Germany, and their status page shows that everything is fine :-)

That's what happens when you don't have an independent party that keeps tabs on this.
