Azure is great. It's the secret weapon of those who took the time to evaluate the clouds instead of just following the crowds.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a secret weapon, but they have added a HUGE amount of services in a very short amount of time relative to the other player.

I still don't like though.

Why is it better than AWS or others?

[gaius]

More and better layered services (e.g. MLStudio), more regions/locations, option of going hybrid (Azure Stack), better container support with per-second billing, the list goes on and on.

Is their hybrid cloud a real thing now? I remember them touting it around 5 years ago, but for years it just never arrived, till I gave up waiting. Just seemed like a bait and switch actually.
