Om Parihar (@OmParihar51) reportedI literally left @awscloud , and moved to @Azure MY GOD, what ******** is your onboarding for start up is @awscloud , that was a complete waste of time.
-
Kenneth Wells (@kwells_cit) reportedAI experiments are one thing. Running them at scale is another. Check out how Wrtn uses @Azure OpenAI Service and the new o1 model:
-
Priyanshu (@iproductAI) reportedPlease @Azure fix it i'm seriously even human can't prove that they are human Why not just automated captcha?
-
Prachiti (@PrachitiParkar) reported@debug_mode @Microsoft @Azure I work in metadata layer but what's the issue in that?
-
StopForumSpam (@StopForumSpam) reported@guyrleech @GoogleWorkspace After messing with my entra UPN, I can no longer use entra to log into servers. What’s the bet I can use Google to log into them now? Sort this **** out @azure

Technophile (@Technop54777070) reportedA few months ago I attempted to create a RAG index using aisearch in @Azure that pulled it’s knowledge from PDFs in sharepoint libraries. It was a miserable experience tweaking a Logix app flow to ocr, merge, split and chunk the PDFs that i eventually gave up. I attempted it again yesterday because I saw they now allow me to do all of the above by just building out some JSON configs and a skill set. It was easier, ran faster, and didn’t run into the same errors/limitations that I ran into in Logix apps. Kudos to @Microsoft
-
Soru Soran Adam (@SoruSoran_Adam) reportedI felt really bad when I switched from Azure DevOps to AWS. Why did AWS create such terrible interfaces for DevOps / Dev Teams ? Constantly defining permissions with JSON is so tedious. It'll take a little while to get used to it. @awscloud @Azure
-
Tech P (@Tech_p001) reported@Azure "The question isn't where AI should run—it’s how many billions of dollars are being wasted running models on unoptimized, chaotic data estates just to satisfy FOMO. You can't out-build bad data architecture with more compute."

deepak yadav (@yadavd4631) reportedHey @Azure @MicrosoftForStartups — your startup credit application asked for NOTHING except a verified LinkedIn. I gave it. Got rejected. No reason given. No next steps. Nothing. How is a founder supposed to fix something when you won't say what's wrong? #Azure #Microsoft
-
Mile Brzanov (@milebrzanov) reported@Azure Fix your stuff! Defender for Cloud. Also, why we can't create support tickets while paying over 2K USD per month? #enshittification #microsoft

Kodeus (@TheKodeusLabs) reported@NVIDIADC @Azure Infra is scaling fast to bring agents into production, but infrastructure alone doesn’t solve the core problem running agents is one thing, trusting their execution is another.
-
Luca Steeb (@steebchen) reportedjust paid $100 for the @Azure support plan just to have an underpaid offshore person tell me that there is no other way of filling a manual form for EVERY goddamn model to lift limits for a new account
-
I AM METATRON, HERALD OF THE ALMIGHTY AND VOICE OF (@these2balls) reported@PandasAndVidya Wait... HOUSTON informed Artemis II the toilet is fixed? What, is the toilet running on @Windows 11 and they cant take a **** unless the toilet does a daily check-in with @Azure ?
-
Anne Durgueil (@AnneDurgueil) reported@MSCloud assuming you guys handle Windows365 which is cloud based (and whose principles I love), you may consider using what we called a "transaction processor" although frankly it is very hard these days to find a description that fits what I knew of them when I started coding on IBM mainframes in my teens in the 70s. I'm only saying that because the executables' images these days are so huge and full of useless code you'll fast have huge memory management issues, the same we used to have on our mainframes back in time as we squeezed our code in a few kilobytes. The word transaction processor comes from the fact we mostly coded for banks and insurance companies, where one performed transactions before computing turned up, so it doesn't tell you why it's so great, nor how it works: Despite the fact we had thousands of online users for one tiny computer, there was only one executable image contiguously loaded in memory (maybe two). Each user had a session but all that was kept for each session in resident memory was only the data it used, and the adress (the position) of the next instruction to execute in the executable image for that session. And the beauty of that in a multithreading environment, is that it happens automatically without overbearing thread management. To be honest we coders never had to bother about it all, and Cobol as a programing language was well geared to such a use: working storage was defined before the executable code using those data definitions was lined up, unlike Basic for instance where you could define fields as you went, but where professionals defined them up with comments at the top of the program. (I suppose this can be reshuffled at compilation stage.. yes sorry you need to compile). I Guess object orientation that came a little bit later will fit very well in that framework. We used IMS and CICS on IBM, and ACMS on DEC VAX/VMS.

TongHe Human Connection (@TongHeConv) reported@Azure Getting in the room is half the battle. Staying in the conversation is the other half. That’s the problem we’re focused on solving for multilingual families.

Inflectiv AI ⧉ (@inflectivAI) reported@Azure Using real-world architectures ensures that your application is built to handle professional workloads from the very beginning. Following these proven patterns helps avoid common scaling issues and security mistakes that usually happen during early development.
-
Lord Waffleman (@LordWaffleman) reported@Azure I'd rather drag my face across broken glass than use Azure again. It'll happen, but I won't like it.
-
Robert Harju (@RobertHarju) reportedBe careful with anything @Microsoft /@Azure related. They used a card that’s linked to my sons XBox to charge a service that I’ve attempted to cancel multiple times. Apparently they’re able to pull card information across platforms? Pretty shady if you ask me.

Poletto (@Its_Alan_Paul) reported@msft4startups @Azure We need more support

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?
-
CryptoKong (@CryptoKong59483) reportedJust the threat should cause @Cloudflare @Google @Azure to start reserving capacity, re-routing traffic and having resources in place. It would be prohibitively disruptive to the industry and AI would negatively impacted by reduced service and increased costs to customers
-
SeenThroughaLens (@LensSeen) reportedSeems like nobody at @Azure or @MicrosoftHelps care about customer service...
-
dayma (@blackride) reported@Azure your support request capability in Azure is a disaster. The drop downs don't help and never actually lets me open a ticket.....
-
MergenChat (@mergenchat) reported@Azure gpt-image-2 image editing is not working through your api. generating is working fine though.

whoajack (@whoajack) reportedWho knew Azure was so expensive :P VM, cheap (like less than $20/month). Bastion host to connect to it, not cheap. LIke $150/month. Time to switch to AWS. WTF :P @Azure
-
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.

Tom Sella (@tsella) reportedmicrosoft @Azure is the worst developer experience i've ever seen. from the tenant deletion (no recourse) to expired tokens, its like they are trying to keep people away from using it.
