Same here. Azure has a killer feature in India that neither AWS or Google have - multiple data centres. Because of Indian data residency guidelines, that becomes critical for business continuity planning.

But the Azure UI is so bad that people are willing to forego stuff like that just to avoid being on Azure.

The Azure product teams have asked for feedback from startup multiple times with consistent answers on UI - I'm no longer willing to believe that this isn't the consequence of some global UI mandate to make things look "windows-y"

AWS has a full region based in Mumbai (ap-south-1) with multiple availability zones, each of which consists of multiple data centers.

umm.. yes we are all aware of this.

Its a single geographic region. Its not allowed according to financial or healthcare data regulations in India.

P.S. i personally am working with the "Big 4" consulting guys to get a white paper to work with this. But big missed opportunity for Azure. All because of bad UI.
