  Thinking about it, @Azure couldn't have picked a worse time to have a wide scale multi-hour OpenAI outage. Their whole "We're Enterprise" schtick really didn't hold up to scrutiny. And now we have options in Europe with AWS.

  @MeetSon7 @Azure Yes, and they never approve the quota. AWS Bedrock is far better.

  @benshapiro @Azure Poor recent Boeing products, poor reliability recent cars and pickup trucks correlate with the adoption of MS @Azure and exponential growth of MSFT. Does this make sense?

  @Azure, you want to tell that someone from Afghanistan can create an account with you but a developer from Sierra Leone cannot create an account? Please fix this issue.

  Dear @Azure , do you think it is acceptable to have a 5+-days lag on PAYG subscription costs, then issue a cost alert for exceeding a threshold all while the cost dashboard does not match up at all with the alert? This is beyond a joke.

  Still think it's an incredible business model when @Azure keeps giving me a 8vCPU CPU even when I select (and pay for) one with 32 or 48, but to get any support on this bug I need to pay THEM?

  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

  Really 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!!

  Last 4 @Azure support tickets: double-billing input tokens (~2.2x); a 6 hr service outage never added to status page cause managers like to be "100% certain" updating status; docs for an API version that 1.5 months later doesn't exist; release that broke image gen in **** for 5d

  Filed 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.

  My experience with @Azure: - Pay USD 123.58/mo for Postgres - Server gets stuck on restart. Cannot access it. Gotta contact support. - Pay $29 to contact support. But that's business hours only, and it's 2 AM. - Pay $100/mo to reach 24/7 support. - SLA is 1h. Get a response 2h later. - Request a refund. Get ignored for 13 days. - Escalate the ticket. - Receive 5 full-page apology emails, all expecting a response. - Server still not stable. - Upgrade to USD 218.48/mo. This is the kind of nonsense @levelsio warns about. Meanwhile, Hetzner would cost ~€40/mo.

  @Azure i think the multimodal piece is where this gets interesting. most enterprise models still treat vision as an afterthought, but bundling it with reasoning means you're building agents that see full context from the start, not bolting capabilities on later.

  @NebiusRocks I’ve been a longtime shareholder so I’m with you on this. The strategic partnership with @Azure and @Google was the buying point for me originally. I saw the potential of what the numbers can be. I also saw the SP go from $1.5-$7 last September. I don’t know much about the staff and the teams around him except the pretty recent expansion, but companies like $EL and all their products are using $RZLV. My issues is the speed of it all brother. The completion now has all the time in the world to catch up with their own products with current AI expansion globally. Dan needs to prove this is u issue and necessary before that happens.

  📰New on WeLike AI News: The gloves are off. Microsoft (@Microsoft) is reportedly training its sales reps to talk down OpenAI and Anthropic. The catch: those are the very models it resells to enterprise buyers via Azure (@Azure). Per TechCrunch, reps are being coached to position Microsoft's in-house AI as more efficient and cost-effective. The enterprise AI market has shifted from a product race to a sales-floor battle over procurement budgets. Why it matters for marketers: model choice is now a negotiation lever, not a technical decision. When your platform reseller starts coaching against its own marketplace partners, procurement math takes over. Bring cost-per-task numbers, discount the reseller pitch, and use the rivalry at renewal. Full breakdown in the cards. Want AI news like this, decoded for marketers? Visit WeLike 🍀

  @ProtonVPN Hello, could you share the range of IPs from "Globalaxs Quebec NOC" on your Canadian servers ? Apparently, some of those IPs are flagged as coming from the UK by @Azure internal GeoIP database. I'm currently investigating that issue with them (#2606020040008180).

  Hey @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

  @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.

  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

  @AdamGell @Azure I should think so - I don't use CMtrace sorry but anything that makes getting information about a problematic environment is important. I wrote a script for AppSense support to gather as much relevant information as we could in one go to stop toing and froing with customers just to get basic info

  @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.
