That's what I really don't like about Azure. They seem to have multiple differently named services that seem to basically do the same thing (Azure Service Bus/Azure Storage Queues is one example that comes to my mind)

Also, the Azure Portal is ridiculously bad and slow.

I actually like the Azure portal more than AWS. The speed is annoying yes, and n-level menu structure was overwhelming at first but the ability to manage all services from single SPA makes it much better than the way AWS console handles it, also the ability to minimize and do multiple actions at the same time balances out the slowness.

Azure storage queues are basically "queues lite" while the service bus is more full featured, think rabbitmq.

And the portal does indeed suck. The cli, on the other hand, is top notch.

Which CLI you mean? azure-xplat-cli or the new azure-cli (multiple differently named services that seem to basically do the same thing)?

[theflagbug]

Yup, but this took me way too long to figure out.

Sadly this goes for a lot of Azure services and all the enterprise-buzzword laden documentation doesn't make that easier

[m_fayer]

You should look at the various official blogs around Azure, they're much more down-to-earth and buzzword free than the formal docs.

The Office 365 admin panel is also a piece of shit.
