Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Azure
We use Microsoft Azure for our application hosting. Earlier we had a thirty party vendor which took care of our hosting. Later on, we explored and found out that Microsoft Azure was a very good option for our cloud. Gradually we moved almost all of our applications to Azure by end of 2018. We have different flavors like Web-apps, API Apps, Azure functions and Azure VM as well. As mentioned earlier we have on-premise thirty party hosting now that we have moved to being self-controlled by using Azure Cloud.
- When we use Azure Web apps, it provides a PAAS solution for our hosting.
- If we have specific tasks to be executed after intervals or continuous work, it provides Web jobs.
- We can move our DB to No SQL as well, which is also very useful.
- For storage purposes, we can use Azure Storage, like blobs in which we can create containers just like S3 buckets in AWS.
- Some times in Web apps we faced an issue that gives us an error while code swapping like it's already in use.
- Azure should provide more detailed errors for activity, also for activity logs. Logs should be searchable on the basis of time duration rather last 3 months.
- Syncing for two different Azure tables should be done parallel to one another.
- Environments are stable.
- We have a scalable environment which provides the ability to sustain an increased load.
As we are working mostly on .net projects and Microsoft has very nice integration available for the latest versions, we can get all the latest version for hosting at the earliest time. We can use the same in .Net Core. This should be a very well known product for our any .net projects and non-SQL projects.
