I’ve been working with Azure and Azure Germanyfor the past years and have a strong history with AWS.

I cannot count how many times disks were not attaching during AKS rescheduling. We build polling where we polled Entra Id for minutes until it became “eventually” consistent - not trusting a service principal until it was fetched at least one minute consistently. The slowness of Azure Functions was unbearable. On Azure germany IoT Hubs had to be “rebooted” by support constantly - which was a shocking statement in itself. The docs always lying or leaving out critical parts. The whole Premium vs Standard stuff is like selling windows licenses. The role model and UI is absolutely inconsistent.

The stability, consistency of IAM, and speed of AWS in comparison makes me truly wonder how anyone stays with Azure. One reason might be that the Windows instances are significantly cheaper though..
