Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have a small cloud footprint and we use it more to test specific applications and how they behave off-premise.

Pros and Cons

Ease of use.
Relatively fast deployment.
Tons of features we can take advantage of in Azure.

Return on Investment

Positive - introduced us to the cloud model, instilled trust.
Negative - Azure is massive, need to continually learn to stay relevant.

My experience has been positive so far. There is so much documentation online that I have yet to run into any real issues that were not self-produced. You should understand what workloads are suitable to run in the cloud before migrating your entire datacenter. Expect latency and possibly downtime that is out of your control.
