Virtual Servers

[0]

Anyone here using Microsoft Azure? I was thinking of using their VM's but seem to have a lot of difficulty getting a Linux image to work. I have others with other providers and they work fine. 

Thanks for any feedback

Azure is fine but I would suggest if you can try some other options as well. Though Azure offers industry best VMs.

What difficulties? Azure currently has more linux containers that windows ones o.o

I'm using OVH dedicated server and created VMs using Hyper V
Works best for me

I use Oracle VirtualBox with few issues. I'm a Unix guy though, so I basically go with those options first. Server flavor isn't too big a deal, should be an LTS Linux distro though.

Azure has a marketplace with free and paid operating systems you can use to provision VMs, or alternatively just upload your own image/blob. I don't fancy the networking in Azure at all, but it's good for what it is - a scalable cloud service.
