I use both AWS and Azure, and they're both fantastic and terrible:
- Azure has better, more polished web management, AWS is more flexible
- Azure gives 500s, 404s and 403s occasionally, AWS has outage IDs that don't appear in their status page and has useless support even when you pay for it.
Either way, I don't feel locked into Windows or Visual Studio when using Azure, which is good, as I don't use any of those products.
The most 'Windows' I get is nodes process module returning some more Windowsy values when I use Azure Web Sites. Otherwise I don't care.
Oh yeah and Azure Web Sites doesn't support gulp (or even grunt) yet so I commit generated assets.
PS: is this really the #1 comment on Hacker News?
- If you've used Azure, you know it doesn't require MS languages or tools
- If you haven't used Azure, why are you upvoting this guy's conspiracy theory?
