My company uses Azure quite heavily, but not Kubernetes.

No crashes, ever. Way more reliable than AWS ever was. (GCP is our failover.)

So it seems that your experience is, from my POV, the exception. Maybe there's something wrong with the way you guys have Azure set up?

Which provisioning model are you using -- ASM or ARM? The last time I used Azure we used the (deprecated) ASM model which was pretty stable instead of the newer and often broken ARM model. We ended up staying on the deprecated model until we moved to AWS (for unrelated reasons).

Wow, our experiences were different. I found ARM to be a great tool compared to ASM.

The moment I removed the last ASM bits, my entire infrastructure became reliably versioned and deployable.

This has been my experience as well, I was surprised to read about some of the issues that were posted. Been using azure app service for about 50 .net/core services for over a year with 100% uptime. Guess I'm just lucky!

In most cases the cause is on the DevOps team and not on Azure, GCS or AWS. I can attest to that in screwing up some configs early on. That being said this is a very new offering from Microsoft and is possible it has some kinks to work out.
