Overall Satisfaction with Azure Virtual Machines

Azure Virtual Machines are convenient, and we have been using them in our production environment. The machines offer a great offer and integration to our existing environment and excellent security features to ensure we handle the vulnerabilities better. I recommend it to everyone who has a current virtualization environment (Vmware or Vsphere) as it will be easy to understand.

Pros

  • DR Setup
  • Availability across multiple regions.
  • Network security.
  • API integration for Monitoring.
  • Service Now integration for Asset Management.

Cons

  • I believe billing is one region where there is still room for improvement.
  • Also the migration from physical machine is easy on AWS still.
  • I feel there are still issues with running SAP on these hosts.
  • Less cost on the setup.
  • Per Machine scalability has reduced a lot of cost in non-business hours.
  • Availability is very important feature which every client prefers
Amazon EC2 is useful for easy migration from physical to virtual. While Azure Virtual Machines are very handy to use and the management console is very simple which gives all the important features at a glance of a screen. We have a good presence of virtualization and Windows and this is one important reason for our selection of Azure Virtual Machines.

Did implementation of Azure Virtual Machines go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Azure Virtual Machines again?

Yes

Azure Virtual Machines are very useful for the environment which has a heavy presence of Virtualisation (VMware and Vsphere) as it is easy to migrate the setups. It is good to explore VDI setups in this environment. It is less suitable for the environment where a lot of physical clusters and servers are present as migration would not be a fun task to do here.
