I'd like to second this. From where I'm sitting it feels like Microsoft is prioritizing marketing more than engineering. It seems like most larger customers that use Azure do so because management got shiny presentations from Microsoft and now it's their "strategical partner". A lot of overselling with huge discounts gets them their in. Already seen this at multiple companies. Azure is a nice platform for your Windows administrators to shift some load to the cloud. But to build large applications on? Edit: And I kinda feel bad for saying this, since I assume that there are indeed pretty competent engineers working on Azure. But somewhere something isn't right.
