Last I tried to use Azure; it did not even offer domain registration. This was many years after launch - and not too long ago.

Not sure if this was an Australia/Oceania limitation - or just an ongoing product limitation.

My requirements weren’t complex. I needed to manage my domains (not AD), spin up virtual machines, and associate the two.

I also found the UI, overall; tedious. Finding the right offering under their ambiguously named services was difficult. And this comes from an AWS user.

I wanted to like Azure, but for very least reasons above; it’s not the product for me.

Did you want domain registration, or just DNS management? Those are two very different services. They offer the latter but not the former. So while you (generally) have to buy domains elsewhere, you can then manage them entirely within Azure after doing so.

They also offer the former. It is called App Domains. (As Domains are AD domains)

Ive been using it for 3 years now to register names for my job as Azure bill just gets paid. Anything outside Azure is a bureaucratic mess.
