Microsoft's revenue was $281.7 billion for the last year, up 15% on the previous year. Revenue from Azure was > $75 billion. Doesn't seem like a failing company to me.

> failing everywhere except Azure

Azure is a failure once you factor in the concentration risk of their customer portfolio. Most of the revenue comes from maybe 10 companies. OpenAI alone is ~50% of future commitments.

Surely Azure is failing too, it's easily the worst cloud option. We have a few clients who run APIs on Azure and for all of them I've had to write special systems to monitor and handle the API falling over.

are you including Oracle in that?

I stand corrected. I'd forgotten they even have one!
reply
Agreed, but for some reason they get a lot of enterprise clients and make millions of them.
