  Manual expense processing slows teams down. When Ramp faced this problem, it turned to the Microsoft Azure AI Platform to automate 5M receipts each month - saving the company 30,000 hours of work. 😱 Read the story to understand how AI makes it possible. @Azure

  @FransBakker9812 @Azure I heard $MSFT rejected Horizon 1 due to issues. $IREN will need to fix that and try again.

  @cpinto @Azure @googlecloud Unbelievable. I bet it's still broken 6 months from now.

  I 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

  When audits involve thousands of regulated documents, even small delays matter. 🚨 Read how NSF faced this problem, and is now using @Azure AI to reduce audit time and human error risk to help life-saving treatments reach patients faster.

  Technophile (@Technop54777070) reported 34 minutes ago

  A 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

  @Azure Token caching appears to be broken for GPT-5.6 models on Azure - every request is reporting zero cached tokens. Hope this gets fixed soon.

  @guyrleech @Azure At some point someone on the Windows App team will reach the same conclusion and fix the slowness and reliability issues. And hopefully rename the App to something more useful. Copilot has problems strongly binding to such a generic name.

  My next quest will be to join the @Microsoft @Azure Team, build a namespace isolation feature for keys in Azure Key Vault service and then dip. How is it that I can have the same namespace feature present in AWS Secrets Manager in Key Vault

  Last month, @Azure acknowledged a billing issue that overcharged us by at least $60K for GPT-5.6 usage. We were not alone: many customers using Azure-hosted GPT-5.6 models were significantly overcharged between July 9, 18:00 UTC and July 22, 18:44 UTC. A full month later, the incorrect charges still appear on our latest bill. We have followed up every day, yet its billing team still has not corrected the wrong overcharges. If this happened at Alibaba or Tencent, leadership would be held accountable, possibly removed. At Azure, nobody seems to care. I’m beginning to understand why large U.S. companies often struggle to compete with startups, and why Chinese tech giants may eventually surpass their U.S. peers.

  Signing up for @Azure - Was about to create an account for the wrong email since for once it actually just logged me in and the username was hidden in the corner - "Sign up with GitHub" sends you back to the log in page - Refresh a few times, notice that the GitHub email is a sign in option - Sign in, register, try to pay - Most card details got auto-filled as with normal websites, except expiry date - Finally get to the end, they send an MFA code to my email - Open email, no MFA code - No option to re-send It's actually a bit funny really

  @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.

  @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.

  @MicrosoftHelps @Azure I have a Microsoft 365 Business Basic plan. I have locked myself out of the Microsoft authenticator app and am now stuck in a loop. I am able to login to the admin portal but not able to manage authenticator settings. Not even able to raise a support ticket

  @Azure Just make sure your subnet service endpoints and private endpoints are locked down properly before mounting. Managed NFS simplifies storage provisioning, but standard defaults won't save you if you leave network access open across hybrid connections.
