I really don’t understand Azure. Their whole marketing, at least a year ago, was that it’s cheaper than AWS. But it literally isn’t?
I did the comparison and AWS was consistently cheaper in every scenario that I tried. I may be wrong, because the pricing with these services is so purposefully made difficult to understand that both companies have released calculators just so you can make an approximation.
So far the only thing Azure has going for it are the managed Microsoft services, like Azure AD. And even those are kinda bad, when you consider after a certain company size it’s cheaper to have a sysadmin manage a local server with an AD (or whatever other service).
I also hate both Azure and AWS and don’t use them. Fuck both companies. But yeah, I don’t understand the Azure business model when there is AWS.
My guess is that they offer some dumb discount package to businesses via their use of AD and Windows, which only lasts a year.
Otherwise I have no idea why everyone’s c suite falling for the azure sales rep spiel is the exact same story of losing money after hopping off AWS every time I hear about it.
