  Setting up a new Azure/Entra account/tenant in @Azure @Microsoft shouldn't require a ******' master's in troubleshooting. FML Worst XP ever. Would not recommend. Even with crackers.

  @Azure COPILOT IN AZURE IS USELESS AS HELL, IT DOESN’T SOLVE ****. IT FEELS LIKE AN AI MADE BY A 12-YEAR-OLD. If you offer Azure for Students, why the hell don’t the regions allow you to create free virtual machines? What the hell are those services even for?? screw all of you.

  @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?

  Please, 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!

  @livingdevops the @azure firewall is a rip off, an absolute piss take of a service offering. if you dont want their fancy UI then a VM self hosted firewall does the trick for $5 a month

  I have never seen an organization more aggressive about NOT providing support than I am experiencing with @Azure right now. Can't log in, can't get support. So angry.

  Unacceptable for an "enterprise" cloud. @awscloud & @Azure give grace periods to prevent disasters. GCP shutting down a live business over a minor payment delay is UNSAFE. We lost actual customers today. Moving our infrastructure immediately. Fix this @AskGoogleCloud! (2/2)

  microsoft @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.

  Usually it’s complaints here… today it’s appreciation. Got stuck with my certification issue, but @AzureSupport @Azure @MSCloud followed up every single day for 5 days and fixed it today. Not AI bots. Real support. Respect...!

  @Azure terrible lack of support for a paying customer. How do I get to speak to a human being please? Seems absolutely useless support.

  @alonisser @Azure Same issue today. We have relied on 4.1 for a year now for consistent markdown output and it started excluding newlines today

  @Azure I'd rather drag my face across broken glass than use Azure again. It'll happen, but I won't like it.

  i’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

  @Microsoft365 @MicrosoftHelps @Azure I purchased 3 Microsoft 365 licenses and have already paid for two months, but I’m unable to access admin credentials. Toll-free support isn’t resolving the issue, and local office calls go unanswered.

  @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.

  Very 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

  So.... 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.

  One 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

  @Azure @Microsoft I can’t get into my MFA. Like I can’t add it to my phone with out an mfa I can’t even get in contact with you guys because you have MFA blocking me from contacting Microsoft to get into my own account. Please help immediately.

  @Azure Team, Please help in cancelling my azure subscription. Even after multiple followup it’s not resolved in more than 3 months. It’s really painful to follow up everyday and team responds with same generic message after 3-4 days without accountability. Case- 2511040040000523

  @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.
