Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service provided through data centers managed by Microsoft, and various services and frameworks are available. In terms of cloud infrastructure market share, it is second only to Amazon Web Services (AWS) , which is provided by Amazon.

However, in November 2022, a Hacker News user named janober said, 'Last week, we encountered a problem fetching a new database from n8n.cloud . After contacting support, we were unable to add an instance to our k8s (Kubernetes) cluster either. Microsoft Azure says it will have more capacity in April 2023, but if we can't get any more new databases or instances, we will stop accepting new users in 35 days. These problems seem to be exclusive to the German region, but setting up in a new region is a complicated issue for us, because our startup is under the unreliability of big companies like Microsoft. I didn't think I would be intimidated by the ugliness or that they would not proactively notify me of these issues.Is anyone else experiencing these issues?'

Hacker News users have mixed opinions on this post. ``I guess you're new to

Azure ,'' said one user. Then I lost most of my sanity and patience , ”he argues that it is better to buy your own hardware than to use the cloud.

There were also

several comments that Microsoft Azure was particularly bad among large-scale cloud computing services.

On the other hand, there are also

comments that similar service interruptions and capacity issues are seen on AWS.

User xwowsersx recommends moving forward with a multi-region cloud setup, even if it means deprioritizing other tasks. This user should expect failures and capacity shortages when using the public cloud, and should consider 'multi-region' from the beginning, even if 'multi-cloud' is overkill. claims.

The advice received mixed comments, but janobar, the original contributor of the original report, said: 'Thank you very much! You are absolutely right and this is certainly what we do. We have to find a solution,' he

replied . However, for startups with few resources, working on multi-region is high risk and reluctant.

In response to janobar's concerns, xwowsersx agrees that it's certainly a reluctant task for startups, but sometimes you have to take calculated risks and given the expectations you should tackle multi-region. claimed to be. If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft Azure, it may be more economical to call in a cloud expert or consultant to

help .

This reply seems to have solidified janobar's decision, saying, 'Thank you very much. Fortunately, we have a very knowledgeable member of our team. If he wants someone to brainstorm ideas with, I will ask you to contact me,' he

replied . xwowsersx replied , 'I'm glad you're in good company. Good luck.'

In addition, it was reported that the utilization rate of Microsoft Azure increased by 775% immediately after the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19), and new capacity was added to solve the allocation shortage. However, since then, the number of servers has not been able to keep up with the continued cloud boom, and the server capacity that can be provided to customers is limited .

Clearly that the utilization rate of Microsoft Azure has increased by 775% - GIGAZINE
