- ed_elliott_asc 8y agowhat vm type do you have? you have to be careful not to hit the throttle limits otherwise your performance is awful. what matters is: - chosen vm size - disk striping (or apps that use multiple disks) - whether you attach with caching on or off, so you can work with both throttles
- nvivo 8y agoI completely agree. For some reason they're not 100% ssd and that changes everything. That is the main reason I avoid Azure. Last time I tested (about 8 months ago) I got a new windows server instance with 4gb ram and do a windows update. In my laptop takes 20 minutes, aws takes 40 minutes or so, azure takes almost an entire day! Partly this is because MS doesnt keep their images as updated as AWS, but mostly is because HDD instead of SDD as default. Not advocating anything, just my experience.
- h1d 8y agoWhat is the point of using Azure if the performance is way worse than competitors?

- nvivo 8y agoI know what I see in my apps. Yes, Azure is worse than AWS. AWS has its flaws, but Azure is simply very slow in comparison.
