TLDR
If you got a basic LAMP (Ex: Symfony) setup project that you wish to deploy, please consider trying the CleverCloud PaaS Solution.
As a confirm developer (& beginner sys/admin) you will have 10x more fun using this than crawling through a heavy Cloud which have too many services and a scattered documentation.
The Context
During the 2020 year i work a long time on deploying Symfony application on Microsoft Azure. The purpose was to change from our actual host company to an infrastructure that was more robust and secure.
For integrity concern our development / integration environment should also be on Microsoft Azure beside our production environment.
Feedback
My feedback is that it takes us a long time to correctly configure the App Service for it to properly running a Symfony Php Application. The Azure EcoSystem seems to be late about the detail of setup and configuration for the php language.
Also one of the biggest disadvantage for us was the costs. It's super expensive as soon as your project uses a db (Mysql)
Our Decision / Solution !
In fine, we migrate from this Cloud to a PaaS solution name CleverCloud. We encounter them in past 2019 during one of their conferences in Blend Web Mix by Quentin Adam.
Setting up an PHP Application on their platform is super easy and fast. They provide a simple and "direct to the point" documentation which is well pleases.
They have an excellent support team that you can ask anytime and you generally get a response between 5-15 minutes.
There costs are much more realistic for our project sizes and configuration (basic LAMP).
They have a CLI that made deploying really simple. Just add a job with the clevercloud/clever-tools image then run clever deploy -f in script.
You can also deploy Docker App if you want, but we choose the bare Php Application to not worry about Dockerfile maintenance.
EDIT (2021/08/21) : 8 month pasted since i wrote this "decision" and i can tell you that we are all still very confidant in the team about this choice and don't regret to having migrated all ours projects on Clever Cloud.
What is your point of view about Clever Cloud ? We will be happy to see your response in the comment.
