I recently left my previous org HCL, and my company email may have been deactivated.
-
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.
-
Priyanshu (@iproductAI) reportedPlease @Azure fix it i'm seriously even human can't prove that they are human Why not just automated captcha?
-
Guy Leech (@guyrleech) reported@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

StopForumSpam (@StopForumSpam) reported@guyrleech @GoogleWorkspace After messing with my entra UPN, I can no longer use entra to log into servers. What’s the bet I can use Google to log into them now? Sort this **** out @azure
-
Ganesh Behera (@ghbdigital) reported1/ We are in the AI era, yet our Azure issue remains unresolved after days. A live beta application has been impacted, users have been affected, and the response has still been “please allow more time.” That is not the standard businesses expect from @Azure @AzureSupport.
-
bhanu (@Bhanu2716) reported@AzureSupport @Azure Is Azure front door have any technical issues ? We are facing not reachable issue in west Europe region
-
Flexsin Inc. (@Flexsin) reported@Azure Confidential Computing was built for this exact problem. Your data stays encrypted while it's being processed – locked inside hardware-level trusted environments. The cloud provider can't see it. The host OS can't see it. Nobody can. Overhead: under 8% #MicrosoftAzure
-
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.
-
Anže Vodovnik (@Avodovnik) reportedI spent 4 hours trying to setup an Azure subscription. I gave up. I am a former Azure MVP. This is such a **** experience. @Azure clearly has no actual devs working there anymore, just vibe coders.
-
Jackartoons (@jackartoons) reportedSo disappointing to see @AWSstartups and its lack of support to startups unlike @Azure @AzureSupport who are helpful and accessible.
-
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
-
Tom Sella (@tsella) reportedmicrosoft @Azure is the worst developer experience i've ever seen. from the tenant deletion (no recourse) to expired tokens, its like they are trying to keep people away from using it.
-
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?

dog dude (@replyAnonymouse) reported@Azure @Azure @nmoneypenny tweet says “is available” blog post says “generally available soon”. I realize I’m impatient, but this is bad comms for our customers. Pls fix.
-
Cruzin4bruzin (@crushaturty) reported@Azure Oops looks like all you do is **** the bed.

Aditya Chand (@adiityack) reported@Azure is down
-
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
-
SeenThroughaLens (@LensSeen) reportedSeems like nobody at @Azure or @MicrosoftHelps care about customer service...
-
AIMadeSimple (@makingAISimple) reportedOpenAI is completing with @awscloud @googlecloud and @Azure This is interesting. But they are still depending on their infrastructure to launch this service. So basically the competition is PaaS
-
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. I can't afford this when I'm unemployed!!! @AzureSupport
-
StopForumSpam (@StopForumSpam) reported@livingdevops the @azure firewall is a rip off, an absolute piss take of a service offering. if you dont want their fancy UI then a VM self hosted firewall does the trick for $5 a month
-
Gopal Das (@igopaldas) reported@AzureSupport @Azure TrackingID#2605090030001227 I have been wrongly billed and my credit card is wrongly charges multiple times very poor response from billing support team. Azure cloud billing is all fake and it is an scam to individual customer
-
Nayan Verma (@nayanjnv) reported@Azure is down

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
-
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)
-
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.

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
