I detest this company for many reasons, it's like they go out of their way to make dealing with them as painful as possible.
Here's just one example I discovered today. I have a Windows 10 VM I needed to upgrade to 11 but the "PC Health Check" app says no, the i5 processor isn't supported.
I can, however, create a new VM and install 11 on the exact same hardware, so that's what I did, along with a whole bunch of extra work to get the new VM set up the same as the old Windows 10 VM was.
Why? Because fuck you, that's why.
Assholes.
This is how i feel about 98% of Azure. Its just so needlessly complicated, with incomprehensible defaults, and out of date documentation, and APIs that just fail silently.
So much this. I actually pulled all of our servers from Azure and went back to a regular provider. Way cheaper as well.
