I currently have a client moving from an on prem environment to Azure, which was chosen because they are 100% a Microsoft shop.
After using AWS since about the time it launched, and then GCP for the past couple years, Azure is a constant headache. As I type this I’m waiting for resources in the region to stop throwing allocation errors. I also have another terraform config running that’s been trying to delete only 6 VMs for the past 20 minutes. Spinning up a single VM takes way too long as well.
I had random conversations with shops that are doing very large Azure deployments before I started this project and they all basically said “yeah Azure sucks, but with all the credits Microsoft gave us it’s basically free.”
I would never recommend a client use Azure when the two alternatives are so much better. The only reason seems to be free credits or they’re blindly committed to a Microsoft ecosystem.
