The aftermath to the recent Microsoft Azure hack by suspected PRC actors.

What is the solution to this? Make sure cloud services are open source so they can be independently vetted? If government and corporate entities chose to use open source solutions, most are presented "as is" with no warranty.

Funny how on the consumer side, they keep pushing TPMs and other intrusive technologies under the guise of security, and they can't even keep their shit together on the business end long enough for people to actually believe them.

Edit: Typo

It really is ridiculous at this point. Just a few weeks back they renamed one of their products on the backend (for no good reason) and broke a ton of stuff with no recourse besides “fix it yourself”. Pile on the endless updates and constant vulnerabilities and I don’t see how anyone can willingly choose to build new projects on it. They can’t even ship a usable replacement to win32!

On second thought though, pretty much every recent super-scalable cloud enterprise project of note is not Windows-centric anymore. Docker? Redis? Grafana? Kubes? The list goes on.
