Mouhab Tarek (@MouhabTarek) reportedFirst attempt: 2014. Graduation project. An @Xbox @kinect + @Azure remote rehab system — inspired by patients in Cairo who couldn’t reach physio clinics through the traffic. Microsoft noticed. Then my career took over. But the I never let go the idea.

-
Karthik (@_karthik) reportedTIL having Azure credits doesn't give you access to GPU-instances this is a really bad (even stupid!) move that i had to double check with the agent who denied my request folks who have credits shouldn't be treated any lesser than folks who're on pay as you go plans. cc @Azure
-
Galaxy.ai (@galaxyai__) reported@Azure Multilingual support is a massive win, finally I can generate memes in more than one language.

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

-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "This specific error actually isn't an Azure Batch configuration problem or a permissions issue—it is a hardware architecture mismatch." (oops this was my fault for building a docker image on Mac m4 and targeting x86)
-
Adib X (@AdCoinMy) reported@Azure @AzureSupport Startup credits expired while I was unwell for 3 months. Submitted extension request, no response yet. 4 live AI products at risk. Sub ID: fd50fc63-265f-4b35-a7b3-4ae535d954f5. Please help. i cannot open any ticket tried #AzureStartups #MicrosoftForStartup
-
qianyi1001 (@yuqianyi1001) reportedFiled an Azure billing support ticket on May 7 regarding unexpected charges. It’s been nearly two weeks with zero response. This is really disappointing for individual developers relying on Azure credits. @AzureSupport @Azure please escalate.
-
BadDad505 (@Michael96631) reported@Microsoft @Office @Azure Cancel my SUBSCRIPTION as Microsoft is UNRESPONSIVE! As usual.
-
Madan Chaolla Park (MCP) (@mcpark) reportedso frustrated with how few people integrate @Azure into cool tools... I did the goose azure openai and anthropic integrations, and the integrations in almost every tool I use... WTF why don't people make the azure integration everywhere???? AM I THE ONLY GUY WITH azure credits?
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@Rahulsr01 @ghbdigital @Azure Payment processed. Access denied. Support deflects. Three separate systems, zero coordination.
-
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.
-
Robert McLaws (@robertmclaws) reported@Azure @shanselman This sounds cool and I’m interested in seeing it. Having said that… AI should never have direct access to the database. There must be at least one intermediate layer that enforces business-level data security through standard APIs + OAuth. Otherwise you are exposing your data to AI vulnerabilities, exploits, and hallucinations.
-
Robert Harju (@RobertHarju) reported@Microsoft / @Azure - Keep charging the monthly charge, and I’ll keep denying the payment. I’ve already cancelled this service for a full year and you’ve not acknowledged nor honored the request. The money is not yours. You shouldn’t even have access to the card you charge.
-
zkdiff (@zkdiff) reportedSo.... I want to give @Azure my money... Can you all please resolve this issue? My account is apparently disabled and the only option presented is a link to a docs page which has no information on how to actually contact support and get my account restored.
-
Proompt Engineer (@laktozmentes5) reportedOk, I finally got approved for better rate limits on @Azure which surprised me cos I’ve been waiting for months… It seems they fixed a few issues and the models feel somewhat reliable now? Also got access to both Claude and GPT models now. Yay. Good job Microsoft.
-
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!
-
Jon Olson (@jonolson_) reported@Azure "Clicking through the Azure Portal to manually create a Job and a Task is incredibly tedious and completely defeats the purpose of using a massive, scalable compute service like Azure Batch." -Gemini 3 Pro
-
Flexsin Inc. (@Flexsin) reported@Azure Confidential Computing was built for this exact problem. Your data stays encrypted while it's being processed – locked inside hardware-level trusted environments. The cloud provider can't see it. The host OS can't see it. Nobody can. Overhead: under 8% #MicrosoftAzure
-
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
-
Evan Burness (@evanburness) reportedReally nice work by @Signal_65 articulating the #HPC performance and customer value prop of @Azure HBv5 VMs. ~5x speedup v. alternatives for CFD is huge!!
-
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?

zoomies.llamafile (@snappercayt) reported@dotMorten @Azure @azureadvocates Means if I check a brand new Windows VM on Azure it should definitely support nuget to install any development dependencies?
-
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.
-
MsftTechNews (@MsftTechNews) reported@JayCee83519 @MSCloud @MSFTReactor Apologies for the confusion. Seems like the issue has been resolved.
