The spreadsheet linked in the blog is almost entirely factual and I made quite a point of adding comments with links to various sources.

If you want to be pedantic about the sentence you took offense at it is actually true. There are operations that can only ber performed using Powershell. People have given examples in this thread. But that isn't the point.

What I should have written for that part was that most people google for solutions. I've done this in the past on Azure and you get a random assortment of answers. Click here, Powershell this there, do whatever. It's disjointed and takes you out of mental context. I could update the blog with more clarity but I don't think anyone will change their mind.

I've used Azure, GKE, AWS. It was played down a little in the blog, but I have used the non AKS parts of Azure pretty extensively. Have you tried GKE? My suspicion is that you've been stuck in a Microsoft world for a while.

Not everyone is a paid shill but some people have a lot invested in the Microsoft ecosystem and I can only assume that's the reason for some of the comments here. I do 100% believe the Microsoft PR team has posted in here at least once though :)

If you honestly believe that there is such a thing as "unbiased" and that this article is an absolute objective demonstration of that, I don't know how much higher your horse could get. When someone gets paid or invests time in anything, whether it is to build, use, market, or sell a product, then that person has become biased. Anyone who can convince themselves that he/she is immune from this is delusional.

I've worked on both sides of these fences (AWS/Azure, Windows/Linux), and think that you are correct. The Microsoft partner programme is basically all about Azure these days, so if you are a Microsoft professional then Azure has been made part of your job, and nobody wants to think that they are doing something second-rate.
