Hi Everyone,
I have a personal site on a small VM in Azure. It is plain HTML with no database.
The site should load in about 40ms.
When I arrive to my site it takes 5 seconds to load, but then gets fast after the first page load.
It almost seems like my VM goes into hibernation when I don't visit the site enough.
My company is considering moving our business assets (backend and Saas services) to Azure.
Before we can move I need to know if Azure has performance issues.
Do they hibernate low traffic sites or is their network just slow?
We moved from the Cloud to physical machines years ago because at the time Cloud Hosts thought it was acceptable to wind down our services during off hours.
I'm also curious what other people's experience has been with support. Do they have good tech support.
Currently at Rackspace the support is amazing and our machines are always 100% available.
Thanks for any feedback you can provide!
