The Azure Hell Hole

Microsoft's official account telling dad jokes while Azure is burning in the background is peak corporate comedy. The replies absolutely commit to reality: "git back to fixing azure" because apparently the cloud is down... again. Nothing says "we're a serious tech company" like posting knock-knock jokes during an outage. The contrast between the cheerful dad joke and the "please fix our production environment" replies is chef's kiss perfection. It's like watching someone arrange deck chairs on the Titanic, but with version control puns.

Look at these American cloud giants getting the Toy Story treatment. After years of Stockholm syndrome relationships with AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure, European dev teams are finally having their "Jessie moment." Nothing says "I've reconsidered our toxic relationship" like migrating to Hetzner after your AWS bill suddenly includes a 25% tariff surcharge. Sure, the documentation might be in German, but it's still more comprehensible than Lambda's pricing structure. Scaleway doesn't have 47 different database options? Good. I didn't understand the difference between the last 46 anyway.

OH. MY. GOD. The absolute AUDACITY of modern cloud architecture! First we're all like "let's just vibe code" because who needs structure or security when you're disrupting industries, right?! 🙄 But then reality SLAPS YOU IN THE FACE when you put on those glasses and suddenly see what you've actually created—"Vulnerability as a Service"! HONEY, your startup isn't being innovative, it's being a 24/7 all-you-can-hack buffet for every script kiddie with a keyboard! The transformation from blissful ignorance to horrifying clarity is sending me into orbit! This is basically every CTO the morning after saying "we'll fix the security issues in the next sprint" for the 37th time in a row!

Content r/developersindia Join u/Teleyks • Fresher • 12h Azure - racked up a masiive bill of 34,000 USD / 28 lakhs INR - HELP Help 1 am doing my undergrad in ENTC and for one my projects I tried to use Azure Open Al services. I first used the free trial which got over almost immediately and then I picked the pay as you go subscription because there was no other option available. I tried to deploy chat gpt 3.5 but didn't connect to any API and didn't use any tokens either. Even completions didn't show anything. Before using azure I did watch a hour long deployment videos none of which mentioned these costs and these costs were not visible. I also set a 20 USD limit on my credit card and thought that any charges would be automatically cancelled since I've set this limit and so the amount CANT go through but realised later that the bill cycle was monthly and I was wrong. A week after creation of this, I rechecked my azure account only to realise that there was a 28 lakhs bill. I have since deleted the resource and deployments. After some research I found out that I picked the PTU option and not the standard. And that has charged me hourly for a week straight. I have raised a ticked to Microsoft. I am unemployed and in university and I don't have any way of acquiring this kind of money. Please help
