Azure IoT Edge: Microsoft’s 60k LOC open source Rust code base

Azure is not that great to be honest. Last time I used it (a couple of years ago), it happened to me that my VM was shut down and they sent me an email. Apparently the real hardware it was running in had a problem. That won't happen in AWS, where your VM will be automatically be moved to another server on the fly and you won't even notice.

Hopefully they fixed that by now...

Uh, what? Literally had that happen to a tiny micro a year back. Fortunately it was quick to recover from (I was using elastic beanstalk at the time) but this happens on AWS.

Yup. Has happened to me multiple times as well on AWS. GCP OTOH offers (optional) live migration of instances.

I'm not defending nor using Azure, but what you described happened to me two years ago on AWS. VM shut down due to hardware failure and I got an email requiring manual intervention from my side (starting the VM).

While Azure isn't great at all the specific issue you have with it happens on AWS all the time.
