I’ve worked with their consultants and they were lovely. They hate Azure too.
- everdrive 6mo agoI imagine that no one likes Azure.
- Forgeties79 6mo agoThe only good thing Microsoft azure ever did for me was provide a very easy way to exploit their free trial program in the early 2010s to crypto mine for free. It couldn’t do much, but it was straight up free real estate for CPU mining. $200 or 2 weeks per credit/debit card.
- tmpz22 6mo agoI used it for MMO goldfarming - circa 2012/2013
- Forgeties79 6mo agoDamn that’s impressive. Wasn’t it all command line at the time?
- riffraff 6mo agoAh, I did the same, but wasn't the experience/UI back then pretty nice too? I haven't used azure since then, but I remember the web interface was way more polished than aws and things worked ok (spinning up a VM was fast etc). So I'm confused by how everyone seems to hate it now.
- Forgeties79 6mo agoI did it all in the command line so can’t say
- a012 6mo agoOnly C level likes Azure
- user34283 6mo agoWe use Azure for desktops and we pay $600/month for 4 cores, getting performance comparable to a $60 Intel N100 chip.
- kjs3 6mo agoWe tried this (and M$ sold it hard) and never went to production with it (except for a couple of niche use cases). It was obviously not going to meet expectations before we were half way through the PoC.
- maccard 6mo agoAzure container apps are a great (idea) and work mostly fine as long as you don’t need to touch them. But they’re just like GCR or what fargate should be - container + resources and off you go. We ran many internal workloads on ACA, but we had _so may issues_ with everything else around ACA…
- yoyohello13 6mo agoYeah no shade on the consultants. I’ve worked with some good ones too.
