azure Memes

Oh honey, the AUDACITY of these cloud providers! 💅 First, Microsoft Azure is all "Our service is AMAZING!" Then the second you commit, they hit you with "Sorry, it's broken and our devs are too busy updating their LinkedIn profiles to fix it." The betrayal! Google Cloud's "FREE" service is the tech equivalent of that friend who offers to buy lunch then Venmos you for $47.82 plus tip. FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?! I could've bought a mediocre gaming PC for that! And AWS? "It's EASY!" they say, right before you need a PhD in AWSology and an AI assistant just to figure out how to deploy a simple "Hello World." The documentation is basically "Figure it out, genius!" This is why developers have trust issues and drink coffee by the gallon. The cloud promised us heaven but delivered a very expensive, very complicated hell.

The cloud revolution has turned every sysadmin into Grandpa Simpson. Remember when we had to physically touch our servers? When DNS issues meant actual phone calls? Now we're just shouting at AWS outages, GCP pricing surprises, and Azure's console that redesigns itself every 3 months. We've gone from racking servers to arguing with JSON files and wondering why our bill suddenly doubled because we forgot to terminate that one instance running in us-east-1. The future is here—it's just abstracted, expensive, and makes us yell at the sky.

European software engineers telling American cloud providers to take a hike after GDPR and Schrems II. Nothing says "I don't want to play with you anymore" quite like data sovereignty laws making AWS, GCP, and Azure non-compliant overnight. European devs just sitting there with their locally-hosted solutions, sipping tea while American cloud giants scramble to build EU data centers that still technically don't solve the legal problem.

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

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.
