Enterprise class global hosting

What do you like best? Azure enables you to create enterprise class infrastructure and application (web and mobile deployments in the cloud within minutes. The elastic scaling is also a really cool feature so your platform can respond to demand by spinning up new VMs as needed. What do you dislike? The management interface can be a bit clunky, and the support could be improved but on balance it's still a fantastic platform. Recommendations to others considering the product If Windows ...

I think Azure does not have enough ...

I have used as a part of my academic project

What do you like best? Lift-and-shift" So you can move your application in azure very easily. Per-use pricing: As with other cloud services, Windows Azure charges the subscriber on per use basis. What this means is that if your application needs only two instances in the beginning, you will only pay for these two instances. At the moment your application starts needing four instances for example, you will start getting charged for those extra instances. This pricing model makes ...

I don't like the way the transition from free to pay-as-you-go is handled. I've had to call support multiple times to resolve issues related ...

Powerful, versatile and much nicer to use than the competition

What do you like best? The growing variety of services offered and the power of the platform in general. The bulk of Azure services feel incredibly stabile and capable.

Has its own CLI so many of these features can be scripted and even has powershell integration (do this at your own risk! What do you dislike? ...
