I felt the same way when I worked on a large Azure project years ago. It seemed that nobody uses it for anything serious, reliability was awful (their API would return 500s in the middle of the day, no notice of downtime, VMs would lose network connectivity, disks would take 30+ minutes to attach, and much more).

The client I was working with is very big and notable, so they had lots of help from Microsoft, and even so, there were so many problems with the service. I'd hate to see how smaller customers are treated.
