I hope someone from the cloud team at Microsoft reads this, as doing a static Jekyll blog shouldn't be something that is difficult...
Someone from the Azure team actually just reached out to me and said they had raised my critique internally. Kudos to MS for listening to their users and reacting quickly!
I really love Azure, but not so much for hobby projects. If you want ssl on an app service, you’ll need at least the basic tier which starts at about $50/month. How does that make sense?
My blog runs on just a storage container, no app service. So the up-front cost is zero, only paying for the bandwidth. If I was lucky enough to get to the point where bandwidth is costing me more than my free 50 USD/mo credit, I think I should be able to recoup it with a few ads.
