So you couldn't work out how to use something that thousands of other people can use just fine and you conclude it is the maker of that thing, which is the problem.

I'm starting to understand why you found using Azure such a challenge.

I know I didn't make a mistake, and it didn't work. If I remember correctly, something in the UI of allocating or starting VMs crashed. I am not some naive computer user assuming the mistake is with me. I know it's with the software. And I don't have time to work with buggy software. There is better software out there, for example GCP, which has sane APIs and actually works.

To be honest, I don't think you understand anything.

Even accepting all your statements of fact, you are still exhibiting some poor reasoning skills. From your story, it sounds like you briefly tried Azure and something failed and from that you inferred that Azure must fail constantly.

In reality, all cloud providers have hiccups now and then and it seems like you may have caught Azure on a bad day.

Imagine, if the first day you tried GCP you stumbled into one of its many incidents[1] and gave up on it entirely. You'd have been deprived of a lifetime of joy with its mentally balanced API.
