Worked on small Azure setup several weeks ago and probably my experience will be useful for other people:

Pro:

- you can use shell in browser

- traffic is cheaper related to AWS

- fast 1GbE network

Cons:

- VM deploy is VERY slow, 2-3 minutes

- no ipv6 out the box, you need a balancer(!) and 4-5 non-trivial shell commands

- attaching new storage was extremely painful experience

It general Azure feels just like middle cloud service.
