"Suitable Container registry for Azure Cloud !!"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Its similar like other docker registry and same native docker commands supports, Cool integrations available for AKS service and Multi-cloud supported registry for all types Docker orchestrator

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Nothing much differences , Its similar like other container registry service example like Gcloud container registry services, I used both of them and I didn't fine any differences, One thing I noted they dont have vulnerability scanning in the registry services itself, we have to use the third party for Container vulnerability scanning

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

My customer using enitre new microservices running in Azure and we are using the ACR as container registry platform

"Super easy to explore Azure storage solutions and download and view files, blobs, and queues."
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

I love how you can access Azure queues almost in real time.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

Some folders that you open don't update quickly when new files, blobs, or queue items are added. In fact clicking refresh doesn't always update where you're viewing.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Azure storage for many different aspects of web apps including log storage, data storage, and queues to act on within web apps.

We stored JSON files in Azure Blob Storage and found it very responsive and easy to imp;ement.

Not much. Setup & config was difficult the first time in, but the learning curve isn't bad. I found Azure Blob Storage easy to navigate and use with Power BI tools.

"Review of Azure VMs"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Azure has a wide range of VM images and an easy to navigate user interface. Besides the marketplace has a wide range of solutions and VM images that can be easily deployed.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

VM pricing is a little steep for the specifications and data storage / use. Besides, it would be helpful to include the per hour cost which was previously displayed. It doesn't seem to be shown in the "sizing" menu.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

It has provide a platform for me to do my research and development work without having to invest in additional hardware. Besides, the I am able to customize the hardware based on my needs, which may change every now and then.

"Azure Virtual Machines"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

Azure is certainly the new Microsoft. Managing resources on Azure is very easy. Even a complete azure beginner (with basic cloud knowledge) will be able to get started in 10-15 mins. The cost is much more effective compared to AWS. Their instances are always reliable. Customer Service is excellent.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

I currently use Linux Virtual machines to deploy my apps and Blob Storage for storage needs. Experimenting with CosmosDB now. No bad experiences so far.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of buying and maintaining the hardware, I can now concentrate on developing the product. That's exactly what I wanted to do. Azure facilitated that.

"Excellent Microsoft-integrated cloud service"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The capability to deploy a Sharepoint server was particularly useful for my client. The solution integrated perfectly with the existing Microsoft-heavy client IT system.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

There have been stability issues with Azure recently. This reduces certainty for clients. Microsoft should upgrade/update shortly.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

My financial services client was able to store large amounts of data securely on the cloud using Azure VM, without having to overhaul an entire IT offering. This meant that the cultural change required was minimal.

My favorite things about Azure Virtual Machines is the helpfulness and responsiveness of the service staff. I love the expansive features and its capabilities are huge.

"storage explorer"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The user-friendly interface was easy to learn how to navigate. The Ribbon bar buttons are clearly labeled. Additionally the Help documentation is actually helpful and easy to access and use while in application. I also like the information about new Releases available for download that is given as soon as I open the application. It is easy to navigate and identify what I am looking for and open.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

When I try to resize the columns when viewing a file they auto size to the size of the data in the column, I'm guessing that it really wouldn't be easy to word wrap long file names or date/times. I am very new to using the Storage Explorer, so the Create Snapshot functionality had to be explained to me by one of our developers before I was clear about the purpose.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

Storage issues are being addressed by using the Microsoft Azure Storage and the Explorer. Easy access to the files that we are downloading nightly from a third party partner that are needed to synchronize our databases.

"Azure"
What do you like best about Microsoft Azure?

The implementation of the 8600 was pretty straightforward and trouble free. Once set up, data transfer to cloud performed well. And generally would recommend.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure?

but there are a few things lacking. One: 25TB limit on NFS shares. Not sure why this is in place, but it immediately invalidated the hardware for use in resolving a local storage issue. Two: You have to deploy a VM appliance to HOST a NFS share. Other products do this out of the gate. To get fault tolerance, you have to cluster the appliance in some fashion. Too many extra steps! Three: Dedupe and compression rates are not trackable via reporting features. StorSimple needs to expand reporting options quite a bit.

What problems is Microsoft Azure solving and how is that benefiting you?

create a cloud appliance that replicates the architecture and capabilities of the physical hybrid storage device
