I actually think Azure is nice platform, but they've effectively priced me out. What I mean is that if I want a basic VPS on Azure it costs ~10€/mo to run the server for the month, but there are many VPS providers who offer a lot better hardware for same price. I guess Azure is meant for bigger needs than mine where you can run 100-200€/mo by default and then scale up when needed, but since my little blog + test/dev server won't need to be scaled it just seems too expensive.
