Azure still hasn't got this. It has serial and does screenshots of the console, but no access to my knowledge.

Last I checked, if you non-forcibly reboot a GCE instance via console or API and it does not shut itself down in a timely manner, there was literally no way to force it to turn off or hard-reboot so that your block storage instances get released. IIRC the last time I encountered this the process timed out eventually after some silly long wait.
