For instance, I'm just using a medium Ubuntu VM, which I can deploy/clone at will in case Azure goes down.
You got a bill because you went over the free tier. I've had the same thing and talked to Amazon and they wiped the bill and credited me with $200 worth of credit for the inconvenience and misunderstanding. Amazon wins, hands down. You get great Linux support and aren't locked into Microsoft's shady tactics of giving away free stuff to only screw you later. That's what Bizspark effectively does, gives you free Visual…
I love AWS to bits but their support is basically non-existent.
Leave preconceptions in the past and start building your idea!

Eh. Cloud66 + Digital Ocean is cheap enough. I'd rather go with someone that doesn't need marketing tricks to get me onto their servers.
Anyone can use any "logic" to defend their decisions. I'm sure you have other good reasons to use whatever products you're using but you've failed to mention any of those.

I wanted to try Rackspace but needed more than a single IP and couldn't wait for their approval process. This is where AWS shines...
As a primarily linux web dev I still thought it worth seeing what the MS technologies might offer, they told me to bog off.
So my entire company is and will be built around Debian/Apache/Postgres/PHP and Python for now and the foreseeable.
(In actual fact it left such a bad taste in my mouth that all non development machines (when I have some lol) will be non-MS entirely aswell).
