"As it stands today I’ve personally used EKS, and AWS in general a lot. I’ve used GKE a bit but only with my own personal credits doing Kubernetes The Hard Way and spinning up a very quick GKE test cluster a while ago."

"I’m being serious when I say this: if the company I’m working for decided to migrate to Azure I’d find a new job."

"It needs to be fast and bug free so that I can build cool automation on top. Working on something like Azure, especially after having worked on AWS for years, would be extremely depressing."

If the article is supposed to be an _unbiased_ comparison between cloud hosted Kubernetes providers, I'd say it's a bit of a fail. For some it would be completely different experience because they have experience with Microsoft technologies. And those people might as well quit if their company moves to AWS or a non-Azure platform.

Azure services can be flaky, and slow, and the "blades" UI is a bold design choice that doesn't really work in practice. No amount of experience with Microsoft technologies can help you with those problems, unfortunately.

Well said, this article is the furthest thing from unbiased. OP obviously spent alot of years being paid to maintain infrastructure running crappy software and is still feeling the scars. I'm no fan of MS myself but I do acknowledge that they've improved alot from the duct-tape and glued NT days of old.
...yet you've addressed none of the points made in the article, and only resorted ro personal attacks.
