Who likes Azure interface? It's Windows 95 on the web. Unless you know how to navigate having remembered all the maze structure with years of operation, I can't for the sake find what costed what in the last month.

UI is a total joke. It's like a machine built it literally just listing everything instead of by a human mind.

It's not just the UI either, have you seen the REST API for Azure Blob Storage? It's Kafkaesque.

And Cosmos DB? 'Request Units'? W. T. F.

Oh god their units!

Provisioning disks comes with the caveat that on AKS, Kubernetes sees things one way, but Azure bills you in some bizarre, Azure specific unit of disk space and speed and then there’s whatever the hell goes on with the pricing / units on the SQL Server instances...

Ah, you'd be talking about DTUs! Those are fun. Blended measures of CPU, IO and some other Magic(TM) factor. Impossible to predict how your workload maps to DTUs until you try it and see.
