Oh no, not just my build server, Microsofts build server… Everyones’ Azure build server - (if you’re building on windows)

    I don’t get the appeal of azure because of things like this.

    annoying how much they try to push it

      If you look at it as generic could provider it’s not good, but if you look at it as making m$ run they’re software instead of you it’s awesome because most m$ software is not fun to run

      Moving to the cloud is a business decision not a technical one.

      Csuite sees us spending Capex 200K on a server or 2 and several thousand opex per year to maintain it.

      Cloud takes that 200K Capex and move it to Opex with significant markup markup.

      From a technical pov we st it as a waste but business will business itself into cost overruns

        But they promised we could save a ton of money with their monitoring dashboards we won’t look at until suddenly we get a bill that is 5x what they promised!

          Lifting and shifting an existing monolithic architecture to the cloud with zero modernization changes will result in a higher cost than leaving it in a data center.

          Converting the application to use as much serverless and microservice-based technology as possible is where the cloud ROI is.

            For a lot of things, that means pretty much re-architecting and re-coding an entire application / system pretty much from scratch.

      The company I work for loves Azure. If it’s not available as an Azure service it won’t be used (except for uptime kuma). Some time ago there was a global Azure outage and we could do literally nothing.
