For most stuff Azure is pretty meh, but it seems to have the best features for running Windows servers and integrates well with Active Directory (or MS Entra or whatever they currently call it). Features that I don't need as a startup founder, but that would be very interesting for many places I worked at.
Basically the cloud for everyone but the tech companies
- greggyb 2y ago> Basically the cloud for everyone but the tech companies And most companies are not tech companies. This is something that tends to be lost in HN discussions (not saying that applies to you, specifically). I've spent a lot of time in the Microsoft world. I worked for AWS as well. In general, Microsoft executes on platform and ecosystem in a way that works very well for a lot of customers. In general, AWS executes on products better, which tends to appeal more to those who are focused on technology, specifically.
- stackskipton 2y agoAs Azure SRE for a tech company, what feature is missing? We are using AKS with Linux, Blob storage and ServiceBus. Database is MySQL Flexible Server. I'm even using some Azure Tables for backend services just because it was easier to deal with.
- fragmede 2y agoI think > Basically the cloud for everyone but the tech companies is referring to the idea that tech companies are competent enough to run their own computers, not that Azure is missing something specific.
