It is shocking to me that it happened at all. Capacity planning shouldn't be so far behind in a cloud that wants to position it as being on-par with AWS/GCP. (Which Azure absolutely isn't.) To me, having capacity planning be solved is part of what I am paying for in that higher price of the VM.

Oh my sweet summer child, welcome to Azure. Don't depend on them being proactive about anything; even depending on them to react is a mistake, e.g., they do not reliably post-mortem severe failures. (At least, externally. But as a customer, I want to know what you're doing to prevent $massive_failure from happening again, and time and time again they're just silent on that front.)
