-
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.
-
Sergey Medved (@CyberSecBoss) reportedA story of applying for Startup credits. @Azure - great customer service, hassle-free. @awscloud - back and forth straight out rejections, "at our discretion" from the support, to finally learn that the issue is in spelling out address street name "North" instead of "N".
-
Renzo Canepa (@rcanepag) reported@Azure Every generation request takes so long that the service is unusable. Even 1024x1024 images can take more than 5 minutes to complete.
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reportedVery 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
-
Rohan Magdum 🇮🇳 (@RohanMagdum7) reportedUsually 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...!
-
Mile Brzanov (@milebrzanov) reported@Azure Fix your stuff! Defender for Cloud. Also, why we can't create support tickets while paying over 2K USD per month? #enshittification #microsoft
-
Mark Xiong (@beaniedude0122) reportedMicrosoft needs to replace their Azure customer support team. How tf can every legit call I receive from them sound like a scam????? @Azure
-
N810 (@nathansaadat) reported@Microsoft @Azure I have been trying to get a 365 business license for 6 weeks now and none of your “partners” care to help a small business. I have called no less than 10 times now. I don’t understand why we have to beg TO PAY YOU. Please help! We need it to connect our Azure/BI
-
Conor O'Neill (@conoro) reportedThinking 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.
-
Tuhin Pramanik (@TuhinPramanik01) reported@AzureSupport @Azure hey i have cancelled my subscription last month, and have no active resources, still I got charged for this month, looking forward for help to fix it.
-
Neon Cosmo (@VowOfJudgment) reported@Azure The latest official Edge build can't synchronize Profiles with old MS Accounts like @live.com.ar We've had these accounts for around 20 years, and spent a lot of money on MS Store purchases. If #Microsoft does not fix this it's plain theft.
-
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?
-
Jeremy 💻🎮🔭 (@pcnerd37) reportedWTF!!! I have an @Azure App Service Plan that went way past its supposed $69.35/mo plan, blew past my monthly budget and now I'm stuck with an astronomical cloud bill. @AzureSupport
-
AZHockeyNut (@AZHockeyNut) reported@yuqianyi1001 @AzureSupport @Azure Impossible i get service on billing issues same day
-
Jason Fleagle (@jjfleagle) reported@Azure Evaluation to enforcement is the right loop. Agent trust is not a one-time test; it needs repeated policy checks, runtime controls, and evidence that the fix actually changed behavior before the agent gets more scope.
-
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)
-
Dead Ä̷̬͖̽͗P̷̭̳͔͇̊ on CompSciFutures (∀/∃/acc) (@CompSciFutures) reported𝗪𝗥𝗧. $𝗠𝗦𝗙𝗧 𝗖𝗟𝟬𝗪𝗗 𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 Annoucing "MSFT CLOUD #FORENSICS". 🧵 Got problems with #McKinsey #CIA making your $MSFT @MSCloud files going missing, with no logs or audit trails to explain where they went or that they even existed? Well, this should help...
-
Kodeus (@TheKodeusLabs) reported@NVIDIADC @Azure Infra is scaling fast to bring agents into production, but infrastructure alone doesn’t solve the core problem running agents is one thing, trusting their execution is another.
-
Luca Restagno 🐢 blacktwist.app (@ikoichi) reportedgpt-5.2 has been down the whole European morning on @Azure @AzureSupport please help.
-
N810 (@nathansaadat) reported@Microsoft @Azure i’ve been trying to get a dynamics 365 business central license for six weeks now. None of your “providers” will contact me. Please help me. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for a small business to use your product.
-
Vikas Mishra 🇮🇳 (@VikasMi34498235) reported@Azure I raised a support request 17 days ago, but the issue is still not resolved. This delay is impacting my certification renewal. Support Ticket: 2602180030002690 Requesting the Azure certification support team to please review and resolve this issue as soon as possible.
-
Bernard Kasparas (@Bkasparas) reported@GarethDennis The number of times drivers were late to trains before I retired off @GWRHelp because @Azure went down and they couldn't see their Safety Notices was a real issue... is the problem 'digitalia americana' or rather single-sourcing everything with no redundancy/fallback?
-
Aditya Chand (@adiityack) reported@Azure is down
-
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!!
-
Mohamed (@abusarah_tech) reportedi’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
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@florianbador @Azure Login requires a phone you don't have. Cancellation requires login. Support tickets require login. Every exit goes through the same locked door.
-
atulsharma (@twitatulsharma) reported@Office @MSCloud @MicrosoftHelps Microsoft team it’s been a month. My 20 employees as waiting to get an email id. Your support is too slow to fix my licensing issue. I can’t buy more licence bcoz of some error and your team just capturing my logs. TrackingID#26052500300052
-
Cory B🅰️ttles (@CoryBattles) reported@Azure what an awful product for anyone with less than a doctorate to try to use. Days wasted, even with Claude's help. Endless circles of conflicting errors and rabbit holes. Support dead ends. Insanely frustrating. Claude's suggestion...give up, cut your losses, move on.
-
MergenChat (@mergenchat) reported@Azure gpt-image-2 image editing is not working through your api. generating is working fine though.
-
Varun Arora (@flashindesi) reported@Azure With a Sev A case, it’s been 24 hours since the handoff, and I haven’t received any tickets or communication from anyone. Even reaching out to previous engineers didn’t yield any responses. It’s disheartening to experience such poor service from Microsoft..
