I'm sure it's gotten better now but back in 2016 provisioning VMs in Azure took so long that we joked that every time you provision an instance a Microsoft engineer gets in a car to buy the server.

- gunsle 2y agoIf everyone in this thread shitting on Azure is going off how it worked in 2016 the comments here make a lot more sense. I know Microsoft bad still lingers in online communities but I have to say I’m surprised hackernews is still this anti Microsoft. In my experience, both Azure and AWS have their issues, it’s not like AWS is some perfect offering but you’d think that based on the comments.
