Bill Shock Can Be Real

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines from other similar products?
Azure VMs shine because of their tight integration with the entire Microsoft ecosystem. This makes it super easy to deploy and manage VMs alongside other Azure services we already use.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The ease and speed of deploying VMs in Azure is unbeatable. I can literally have a new server up and running in a matter of minutes, which is a huge time-saver compared to traditional on-premises deployments.
What do you dislike most about this product?
While the pay-as-you-go model is great for flexibility, it's easy to lose track of VM usage and end up with a hefty bill at the end of the month. For us here in the UAE, where cloud costs can be a bit higher, careful monitoring and resource management are crucial
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If your organization is looking for a scalable and cost-effective way to expand your IT infrastructure, Azure VMs are a great option. Just be sure to factor in well all the costs associated with running VMs, including storage, bandwidth, and licensing
