I was at a container orchestration conference the other day, and got the distinct impression that microsoft are not the great satan, and azure is probably a really good choice for cloud service. I can't believe I'm saying that. I'm having dinner with a prolific debian maintainer tonight, maybe he'll beat some sense into me.
- mhh__ 8y agoThey actually have to compete now, is why. I assume
- OkGoDoIt 8y agoI agree in theory, but have you ever actually tried to use Azure? The management interface is ridiculously overcomplicated. It feels very “Microsofty”
- uiri 8y agoThe REST APIs and CLI/Powershell interfaces are much, much nicer. The web Portal seems to get revamped every other year and the latest incarnation is not very good.
- singingfish 8y agono I haven't used azure in anger but I have colleagues that have. Personally I care not for GUIs so by the sounds of it the API side is ok.
- avinium 8y agoI do, and while it's not perfect, I find it fairly serviceable. AWS, on the other hand, I found an absolute nightmare (though to be fair, I haven't touched it in 2 years).
- manigandham 8y agoAll 3 major clouds have consoles that are good in certain things but mostly bad. Azure's console made a big mistake with the vertical blade design, but at least it always loads fast.
