It's not love, it's existing infrastructure. Do you rebuild your entire production environment every time a vendor has a billing hiccup?

No, our existing infrastructure has existed longer than Azure existed. Azure is pretty new in town, I doubt there was much infrastructure built on it. So I believe people really wanted to re-build their infra out from AWS or GCP into Azure in the first place.

Basically my point is -- why rebuilding existing GCP/AWS infra into Azure in the first place? More so if it wasn't on any "cloud" at all before.

I'm confused. That isn't my scenario at all.

Sorry, I mean there was a point at which someone decided "let's go Azure". And that point was when AWS/GCP were already well-established (and provided Windows VMs for a long time).

So the only reason I see why they still wanted to go with Azure is the love for Microsoft.
