-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure is borderline nightmare trying to set up a batch job with simple docker image. OpenAI and Claude Opus both on max effort could not accurately help me. Gemini 3 worked well but here is the list of funny responses from Gemini: <thread>
-
🔋ATo🔋{🇺🇦💪} (@Florent_ATo) reported@ProtonVPN Hello, could you share the range of IPs from "Globalaxs Quebec NOC" on your Canadian servers ? Apparently, some of those IPs are flagged as coming from the UK by @Azure internal GeoIP database. I'm currently investigating that issue with them (#2606020040008180).
-
MergenChat (@mergenchat) reported@Azure gpt-image-2 image editing is not working through your api. generating is working fine though.
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedThinking about it, @Azure couldn't have picked a worse time to have a wide scale multi-hour OpenAI outage. Their whole "We're Enterprise" schtick really didn't hold up to scrutiny. And now we have options in Europe with AWS.
-
BadDad505 (@Michael96631) reported@Microsoft @Office @Azure Cancel my SUBSCRIPTION as Microsoft is UNRESPONSIVE! As usual.
-
Vishal (@Vishhallu) reportedAnna University’s result server has been down for about 1 day straight, Millions of students vs one sad little server. Maybe its time to use New Technology👇🏻👇🏻 @AWSCloudIndia @digitalocean @Azure
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@florianbador @Azure Login requires a phone you don't have. Cancellation requires login. Support tickets require login. Every exit goes through the same locked door.
-
atulsharma (@twitatulsharma) reported@Office @MSCloud @MicrosoftHelps Microsoft team it’s been a month. My 20 employees as waiting to get an email id. Your support is too slow to fix my licensing issue. I can’t buy more licence bcoz of some error and your team just capturing my logs. TrackingID#26052500300052

Damian Figiel (@DamianCTO) reported@Azure just lost its most valuable competitive edge. @OpenAI officially ended its cloud exclusivity with Microsoft. Their models can now be deployed on any cloud provider, and AWS CEO @ajassy already confirmed GPT models are coming to Bedrock "in the coming weeks." This was always going to happen. You can't build a $150B AI company and let one vendor own your distribution channel forever. The 2019 Azure exclusivity deal made sense when OpenAI needed survival compute. In 2026, it was just dead weight. The real lesson is that single-cloud dependencies in AI were always a bad bet. Model access, GPU availability, data sovereignty, you want optionality in all three. Anyone who locked their AI stack to Azure assuming exclusivity would last is doing some uncomfortable math right now. Is your AI stack still locked to one cloud or are you already spreading the risk?

Mecha-Pango (@mechapango) reported@genspark_ai @Microsoft @Azure Excel gets AI to fix formulas nobody understood in the first place. Redemptive arc.
-
Celso Pinto (@cpinto) reported@bradgessler @Azure @googlecloud Yeah it’s been broken for at least a month now
-
Brad Gessler (@bradgessler) reported@Microsoft @Azure The only thing worse is when you get stuck into their ticketing system, also known as hell. I once was running a project where nothing got fixed because the people working on our case kept leaving to go to other companies and they never replied. Absolutely insanity.
-
Sergey Medved (@CyberSecBoss) reportedA story of applying for Startup credits. @Azure - great customer service, hassle-free. @awscloud - back and forth straight out rejections, "at our discretion" from the support, to finally learn that the issue is in spelling out address street name "North" instead of "N".
-
Mark Xiong (@beaniedude0122) reportedMicrosoft needs to replace their Azure customer support team. How tf can every legit call I receive from them sound like a scam????? @Azure
-
Florian Bador (@florianbador) reported@Azure : Remove this insanity of #AuthenticatorApp! I created a new biz account for some emailing, put the debit card, then the login forces to setup that stupid app, but I don't own a smartphone (and won't borrow anyone's). I tried to call support but got disconnected, calling again leads nowhere. At this point I could not even cancel the membership because I cannot login... Madness! Just let the customer decides what they want as 2FA!!! They know better, you control-freaks. So what am I supposed to do at this point? Cannot login, cannot setup auth app, cannot even cancel because cannot login, cannot open a case online because cannot login, and no "Use another way" option to skip this silly Auth-App setup, and no Desktop App either since I run exclusively on Linux.... Why so complicated??? Keep It Simple Stupid. @Microsoft @Outlook
-
Alex Crossley (@alexcrossley) reportedPlease, can anyone at @Azure Business Support understand that I can not log into Azure, and so I can not use the portal for support? HELP!
-
ちゅうこ / 合瀬 奏 (@y_chu5) reported@Azure Hi, the repositories azure/azure-functions-docker and azure-functions-durable-js and more... have been disabled on GitHub for violating the terms of service. Was there a problem? I was just forking it, so I was surprised to receive an email from GitHub.

Mohamed (@abusarah_tech) reportedi’ve recently went down a rabbit hole to learn how hyperscalers / cloud providers like @awscloud, @Azure (or at least in theory) work a huge respect to all the engineers that built the abstraction behind the resource provisioning. i am still trying to wrap my head around it
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reportedOne of the vendors we use who hook into @Azure @Microsoft365 are reporting that error 503 is being returned and @Microsoft have confirmed that there is a problem
-
Donnie (@towndrunk) reportedHad to contact support to transfer my @Azure grant. Support was super responsive! But now it won't let me apply the sponsor credits to my billing profile. Lol I'm trying to build @Copilot support agents for staff at the homeless shelter I work at. Pls fix.
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedOf all the hyperscalers, @AzureSupport's refusal to do timely updates on their status dashboard is absolutely enraging. The last time Azure OpenAI had a problem in late October, MS finally updated the dashboard 3 hours after the outage began! Does @Azure even have a NOC?
-
Lisanth Shanmugam (@lees2103) reported@Azure @AzureSupport Hello guy Please assist me as soon as possible with my support request 2605160030000672 , its far more urgent , and we are barely stuck in mid of production @AzureSupport Please help as soon as possible also since its weekend i am not sure i gonna get help
-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "You need to be very careful here, because the Azure Portal UI is trying to trap you again. You are experiencing peak Azure naming convention madness right now. The portal is notoriously terrible at keeping its dropdown names consistent with its actual Virtual Machine names."
-
DevOps Guy (@riyajaix) reported@takuya_tominaga Thank you for highlighting hard on various platform. I was wondering who will be next in this! This is absolutely pathetic from @Azure that they are simply not ready to fix this.
-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "I completely validate your frustration. That specific Azure Support portal bug—where the "Request Details" blade just silently deletes everything you typed when you hit save—is a notoriously infuriating UI glitch. It is the exact kind of friction that makes people rage-quit"
-
Teja patel (@tejakothapally1) reportedHello @AzureSupport @Azure, Im trying to install azure agent in the server to register the target in the deployment groups. I cannot able to do it even i have the administrator access. I’m getting insufficient permissions to register target. Kindly help.
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reportedVery disappointed with @Azure support. A subscription was disabled over “suspicious activity” with no clear explanation, causing our beta app to go down and creating serious business risk. Startups cannot operate on vague flags and delayed resolution. #Azure #Microsoft #Startup
-
டான் (@DonOfNothing) reportedThe problem is that Microsoft and Anthropic haven't opened up Claude APIs in Microsoft Foundry yet. It's a gated program, and even if you submit several access requests, they may choose not to respond. #Claude @Azure
-
🔶Martin Goss🔶 (@MartinGossCol) reported@Azure terrible lack of support for a paying customer. How do I get to speak to a human being please? Seems absolutely useless support.
