I know the whole point of cloud services is to pick and choose, but in general I wouldn’t express “outrage” or scoff when comparing Azure to AWS. I recommend Azure to the smallest and leanest of shops, but when you compare functionality matrices and maturity Azure is a children’s toy.

To compare the other way, Azure write blocks target replication blob containers. I consider that a primitive and yet they just outright say you can’t do it. When I engaged our TPM on this we were just told our expectations were wrong and we were thinking about the problem wrong.
