A lot of this criticism could also be levelled at Azure’s AKS service.

IPv6 is broken there as well, and they similarly overcharge for logging. However, instead of 50c per GB, they charge $2.75 per GB, which is highway robbery. That’s more than 5x what GCP or AWS charge.

I swear Microsoft must have been aiming for “half price to be competitive” and then accidentally put the decimal point in the wrong place.

Let this sink in: they charge the price of a serviceable used car or a decent gaming PC to store 1 TB of text for a month!
