I can't speak for anyone else, but we make sure extensive use of the Azure API, both via the 'az' command line tool and through terraform. From what I've heard, read, and had conference calls about, Microsoft treats the API as a first-class citizen.

Same here. Not to derail OP's point on how the use cases are different, but us developers are all trained on using APIs with our cloud backends by now. Obviously Azure produced something of similar quality to the awscli.

Sure. But many many businesses will be using Azure in a way that doesn't involve developers.

I’ve seen azure implemented at dozens of top enterprises and every single one used the api’s to some extent.

People make dev/test/pox’s by hand then automate it.

I’d take the wager :)
