My company picked Azure. So I work with it every day and it is ...

yoyohello13 25 days ago The management portal is super slow, every time you click a button it’s basically a roll of the dice whether the action will work or not. And as with most things Microsoft these days there are reams of docs detailing every single feature, and none of it fucking works as described. … 1. The CLI is good, I think maintaining feature parity between the CLI and portal is really helpful and allows us to integrate with our internal infra more easily. Azure CLI is really the best part working with the service. 2. The management portal is really flaky. Like unknown error messages pop up when clicking on deployment logs. Sometimes the SSH or log tail functions just don't load at all and overall the experience just feels sluggish. I'm really not sure what can be done about this but I've been moving to the CLI just because the web interface is frustrating to work with. 3. The Microsoft documentation is really verbose and difficult to navigate in my opinion. Like we were looking in to hosting a Teams bot and those docs are full of emoji and full page articles like 'why did we make an SDK?'. I have to jump around several pages to get to what I need and even then the code examples in the docs are not actually in sync with the current version of the SDK library. It feels like AI was just set loose to write as much as possible. I think the problem is the information density of much of the documentation is very low. Maybe that's something that can be addressed going forward. The management portal is super slow, every time you click a button it’s basically a roll of the dice whether the action will work or not. And as with most things Microsoft these days there are reams of docs detailing every single feature, and none of it fucking works as described. I will say, if you just want to deploy a quick app from VSCode from your local machine or whatever, it works great. But if you need anything off the golden path it quickly becomes frustrating.
