I've used Azure a bit and it's been pretty painful for the most part. There are three, maybe four identity management systems (Azure native, MS Live, Hosted AD, others?). Working with the SDKs and doing programmatic authentication was painful. I did a fair bit with AKS. It had a lot of shortcomings that would take a while to go into. They ended up suggesting I use ACS-engine. There are some products that are neat, that I haven't really used at scale, but seem good. Most of the bigdata stuff is pretty legit based on my limited usage. The customers of my employer are large enterprises. Azure definitely has penetration there. I only have a small sampling, but many of them end up leaving Azure for AWS. None of them are really considering GCP.

Could you go into it? I’ve kept hearing good things about AKS, but my experience with their VM service left me skeptical of those claims.

  Here's a list of things from January of this year: - when scaling nodes, didn't get the desired count - creating and deleting clusters takes a while (30 minutes) - cluster operations get stuck in a loop - disappearing node did not bring up a new node - external management setup was difficult (GKE assigns publicly reachable IP by default) - changing SSH user or key through azcli or GUI didn't work - default storage class wasn't set - admission control disallows deploying a registry in kube-system - nodes randomly go into notready state - no ability to add new node pools or modify pool without destroying cluster This was all prior to GA.
