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!!
-
SeenThroughaLens (@LensSeen) reportedSeems like nobody at @Azure or @MicrosoftHelps care about customer service...
-
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.
-
Chris Gates (@chrisgatesjr) reported@weezerOSINT Now imagine how much big companies pay for defender for business or e3 and e5 just to have the thing they pay for help hackers deliver the virus LMAO @Microsoft @Azure fix your ****
-
Alex Crossley (@alexcrossley) reportedPlease, 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!
-
Seth Fenster (@sethtjf) reported@Azure AI Foundry is whack so much potential but it sucks
-
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
-
zkdiff (@zkdiff) reportedSo.... 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.
-
Inflectiv AI ⧉ (@inflectivAI) reported@Azure Using real-world architectures ensures that your application is built to handle professional workloads from the very beginning. Following these proven patterns helps avoid common scaling issues and security mistakes that usually happen during early development.
-
TheAngryChicagoan (@AngryChicagoan) reported**** @Microsoft People need to get off @Azure
-
DevOps Guy (@riyajaix) reported@takuya_tominaga Thank you for highlighting hard on various platform. I was wondering who will be next in this! This is absolutely pathetic from @Azure that they are simply not ready to fix this.
-
misshelenamy (@misshelenn1) reported@DalpraJuan @Azure @AzureSupport Mine was resolved with his support ZackLegion here on X
-
Clinton Billedeaux (@null3FF3KT) reportedWhat's your top reason not to use @Azure ?? I'll start. Getting actual help for actual problems accessing your account is so far impossible.

Mani (@manitofighh) reportedHow Azure billed us $25,000 > Be me > run experiments across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure > script terminates all instances across all cloud providers > Normal charges from AWS and GCP after instances are termianted > 12 days later, get a notification about a $25,000 bill from Azure > Thinking we got hacked > The Azure dashboard makes it IMPOSSIBLE to figure out *what exactly* was incurring charges. Just a bunch of generic cost break-down > Finally figure things out and delete all resources in the resource group that was previously turned off > Somehow, half the instances were off but not "deallocated" and half were both off and deallocated (but the script used the same command for all instance terminations??) > Ask Azure to dispute charges because this makes no sense > Azure closes ticket without a resolution??? > Reopen ticket > Azure: Sorry, we understand, but nothing we can do > ?????????????????????? @Azure @Microsoft this literally rips apart our research funding and limits our future projects. This is the most messed up way to bill off of weird policies like this

Vishal (@Vishhallu) reportedAnna University’s result server has been down for about 1 day straight, Millions of students vs one sad little server. Maybe its time to use New Technology👇🏻👇🏻 @AWSCloudIndia @digitalocean @Azure
-
N810 (@nathansaadat) reported@Azure Okay I sent a DM. I would really appreciate your help.
-
Luca Steeb (@steebchen) reported@Azure @Microsoft it must be a joke to pay $100 for support then still having to fill out this ****** form for EVERY SINGLE MODEL with 20 fields of the same IDs, names, data, email, etc and different ratios for TPM depending on the model. it can't be real? how does this pass product? is this a joke?
-
Syed Sameer (@syedsameer2024) reported@AzureSupport @Azure We joined for startup support, but unexpected charges we thought Azure credits covered put us at risk of suspension. We’re unable to pay now and request a review of these charges plus an extension or relief. We value long-term partnership. #Azure #Startups
-
Swezey (@007_Swezey_117) reportedSetting 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.
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reportedOne 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
-
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?
-
Decent Cloud (@DecentCloud_org) reported@Rahulsr01 @ghbdigital @Azure Payment processed. Access denied. Support deflects. Three separate systems, zero coordination.
-
GREGGORY ADDISON (@CainGodTier) reported@Azure has the worst docs I’ve ever seen. Code examples? DONT WORK! Tips tell you to use a .NET version they don’t support anymore. Workflows from 1 year ago? DONT WORK! It’s actual torture. All because they are upselling a premium support package.
-
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.
-
Erik Johnson (@ErikJohnson) reported@RichtechRobots @Azure @Microsoft Not a partnership, just a customer engagement. down 20% today. Expect fraud lawsuits from shareholders like me!
-
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.
-
Chris G (@crypspaz9999) reported@Azure What is wrong with your back end today...AAD keeps timing out, it's breaking all my damn CI/CD pipeline runs. Please fix your ****!
-
Nicolas Dorier (@NicolasDorier) reported@VisualStudio @Azure It is so impossible to figure out what it is, and stuck in a AI driven loop of AI support slop that I have no choice but to cancel the whole Azure account, and block at the bank level...
-
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.

Madan Chaolla Park (MCP) (@MadanChaolla) reported@Winterrose @rileybrown @Azure Well damn - I have 500k/users a month who use at least 3 minutes - in that case I'm interested too!
