We use Azure and sometimes Hetzner. I don't think Azure is a bad product, but it sometimes amazes me just how many different ways they can let you buy something as simple as a "load balancer". Azure obviously has some services that Hetzner does not, a lot, but as far as 95% of what we need in our cloud infra Hetzner does just fine and it's soooooooo much simpler.

I don't mind letting AI's help with infra, but it's with the configs and infra as code files and it will never have any form of access to anything outside it's little box. It's significantly faster at writing out the port ranges for an FTP (don't ask) ingress than I can by hand.
