Personally, the interface of Azure is by far one of the clearest I have come across. Everything is laid out in an intuitive, accessible manner. This makes me happy. In the past I’ve been reluctant to using some cloud services due to their interfaces. When you see an overwhelming list of products and actions it makes it difficult to actually find the stuff you need. I don’t feel like that’s the case with Azure. Even though there’s so many services to traverse through, I can still find exactly what I need. Also, kudos for dark mode!
Secondly, if you’re already using Microsoft products, Azure ties everything together quite nicely. It’s an extension of a framework you’re already used to. Those Logic Apps for example, can connect to your Office 365 account, Sharepoint, SQL Server — even Bing if you’re wild enough! I wouldn’t normally recommend keeping all your eggs in one basket, but when you’re developing critical apps and services, it might just save you some time.
