Just finished a major deployment and learned that Azure is a clown show. It has incomplete documentation, automation is a joke, and it has a horrible IaC implementation. They also use security to up-sell; secure versions of various services are only available in higher cost tiers. We are paying thousands/month in azure; the equivalent deployment in AWS would be a fraction of the cost.

Azure is a total ripoff and I will never use it again.

I noticed some parts of this as well. I just finished AZ104 and 80% of it amounts to "here is how you and your role-based subordinates can spend more money on these product offerings"

You're going to have to be more specific than that. I'm firmly in the AWS camp but I've heard nothing but praise for Azure from people I trust.

Not OP but it very much depends on which bit of Azure you're using. Some bits are very polished and work great, some are a dumpster fire.
