Many operations are INCREDIBLY slow. Creating a VM. Mounting a disk to a VM. All take easily 10-30x longer than I'm used to with other clouds. This is especially annoying with Kubernetes as it likes to move disks between VMs which... takes a while on Azure. Many, many, backwards incompatible changes in their Kubernetes platform. I've had to recreate clusters about twice a year so far. Lately it's been better since they finally got node pools working (about 2 years after all of their competitors). They can't get their network stable. Things like `kubectl port-forward` or `kubectl logs` hang after 4-30 minutes of inactivity (i.e. the tunnel is open but no packets actively being sent) which, according to Azure, is "working as expected". This makes the tooling utterly unusable. It has to do with the way Azure's load balancers deal with idle TCP connections. Also, their support engineers are unwilling to help you unless you run Windows. They always insist on remoting into your machine using some Windows utility, even though the issue is with their cloud instead of my machine.
