uhh, failed according to what?
- mmastrac 12y agoI personally have seen very few success stories that involved Azure. The messaging coming through to the public is that Azure is buggy and unreliable. I can recall seeing a couple of major downtime incidents ([1] at least) in the last six months, and a significant number of major ones over the last few years (certificate renewal issues, leap day issues, etc [2][3][4]). I wouldn't choose Azure myself, and I would actively recommend against choosing it to others from what I have seen (unless you are building a solution on .NET/Windows, perhaps). I can't imagine that I'm alone. [1] http://www.zdnet.com/microsofts-azure-virtual-machine-cloud-services-down-for-many-7000032708/ http://www.zdnet.com/microsofts-azure-virtual-machine-cloud-...
