Overall Satisfaction with Azure Virtual Machines

In our company, all of the VM infrastructure used for production and corporate needs is in the Azure cloud and we Use Azure Virtual Machines for all of our needs. The only exception, when we don't use this product in the Azure cloud, is when we use Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets. Azure Virtual Machines come with different hardware configurations and it can suit any need - there are small VMs for testing and DEV and there are very large VMs as well built for higher performance of the production environment.

For those who use the Azure cloud, Azure Virtual Machine is the best option for Compute resources, it provides flexible pricing plans, worldwide availability and almost any scale that you will need without wasting too much time for these resources to become available. In Azure Cloud, serverless Compute is also available, so for specific usecases, this can be used instead of Azure Virtual Machines.
