Azure VMs

Azure experiences random AKS pod crashes, unexplained database disk latency spikes, unpredictable behavior during workload migration from GCP, and 503 Gateway Timeouts without traceable root causes.

VM and resource creation times are highly variable and unpredictable. A VM might take 2 minutes one time and 45 minutes another, with no advance warning, disrupting deployment workflows and SLAs.

VM-based system images and their management present security risks, requiring careful attention to image creation, storage, and deployment practices to prevent security vulnerabilities.
