Sure - I'm (perhaps predictably) brendanp at microsoft. I'd be happy to talk more.

thanks!

I don't have much insight into Azure pricing, unfortunately. You need the bigger disk with the standard tier A1 for your app/service?

That's a great idea, though I'm a little worried about being perceived as an astroturfer.

Thanks for the suggestions! We've definitely heard this feedback consistently - especially around SSH.

I'm definitely not trying to limit things to the Microsoft toolchain. I recognize that composability is super important, and anything we build should participate in the greater ecosystem.

Yeah - I'm sympathetic. It's often difficult to sell people on the notion that integration testing might be just as expensive to implement as the service/feature that you're building in the first place.

It sounds like this is partly an education issue - are there specific areas within your problem domain that more tooling would actually help with?

Just to make sure I understand, you're suggesting that we need to ensure that our tools fully integrate with non-Microsoft cloud providers, container providers and virtualization providers (rather than being primarily targeted at Azure/Windows containers/Hyper-V)?

I'm interested in everything!

In this case, what delayed updating the web app to a more modern architecture? Company culture? Lack of resources?

It does seem like pipelines need not just to be maintained, but also continuously improved, in order to avoid being left behind by the rest of the tool ecosystem.
