My advice, stay the f*ck away from Azure as far as you can. It’s the biggest clusterfuck I have ever had to deal with. Unless you are a Microsoft Gold Partner and you simply buy every shit which your Microsoft Account Manager tells you then you have no reason to use Azure. Unlike the Google Cloud or AWS, Azure has not a single service which is unique or good in any particular way. On the other side, they have many services which are uniquely so bad that they are unusable in Azure. Example of unique services in the GCloud: Spanner, Firestore, BigQuery,... AWS: Face recognition service and other neat things Uniquely fucked up in Azure: Functions, Web Apps, Storage, Application Insights (FML!), ... many many more

Oh my god Azure functions. What a pain they were, nevermind getting them running locally. AWS Lambda: run the code, because it’s easy to write code to be fully independent of lambda specifics. Azure functions: oh no you need to run this thing to simulate stuff. Oh you’re not on Windows? Uhhhh too bad, that doesn’t work. You’ll have to use this other, random beta software. Oh it failed to run now, because you didn’t provide it with some arcane set of azure credentials which are inexplicably required to run it locally. Storage-especially on Kubernetes is Alpha quality at best. The amount of pain we had was wild considering it is a fairly basic requirement.

  I had no trouble developing Azure Functions with VS Code on my ThinkPad running Ubuntu. Getting them to run locally [0] or in your Kubernetes Cluster [1] isn't too difficult. With AWS Lambdas that isn't possible at all. Regarding the storage for Kubernetes, as long as you don't provide details it looks like just another rant. I get that you like AWS more than Azure but your opinion may not reflect the actual experience someone else will have.
