Azure is down again!
-
Azure is back up.
Keep in mind we do lots of cloud stuff and have never had issues like this with any other providers.

That you noticed.....
I've seen lots of places go down on not heavily used sites or systems and not realize that they were having outages.
@Minion-Queen has been with conferences full of people who've had outage issues with Azure. Are you heavily monitoring your systems or using them continuously around the clock?

Yeah... zero that we've ever seen with DO or Vultr, only tiny ones with RS and very rare. Never seen anything like Azure. And never met other people so often with issues.

Really? I thought only Gold level MS partners were demoing it until 2010.

@Dashrender They just suck that bad is my opinion. If they are screwing with us, well sucks to be them. We post online about these outages every time they happen. And now steer clients clear of them as much as possible.
It's so unfortunate. It's a great idea poorly implemented

Is it really that good of an idea, though?

I recommend TONS of people to DO. Haven't tried Vultr yet though. RS is super expensive. Do you find any benefits with them over DO? I've heard some things like console access, but haven't looked into it.

DO, RS and Vultr all have console access. That's the same. RS has a slightly different performance profile. The big deals with RS are the full range of features that they offer. But these days, their benefits are rapidly dwindling.

Nice, thanks. I'll have to take another look. I've simply never recommended RS due to the price. DO's pricing is extremely affordable for small-medium businesses and people wanting to simply setup a test lab. I haven't broken down the pricing for medium-large scale, it just didn't seem logical based on the price (though the company I'm at now doesn't buy semi-new servers, www.insightsystemsonline.com sometimes has some really nice servers with a 3 year warranty). I looked last week and their inventory is nothing to write home about. The company I'm at now only buys straight from Dell.
