After basically the whole #Microsoft#Azure cloud was hacked (see list of related sources on https://karl-voit.at/cloud/ ), the first follow-up incidents went public caused by missing containment actions:
If you didn't understand until now: basically EVERYTHING at Microsoft got hacked and Microsoft can't (or won't) get rid of the intruders. Everything authenticated by Microsoft is tainted. Even #Windows auth.
A client asked me if it was a good idea to move to GCP, told him that regardless of the costs, he'll have a better chance of getting the Pope on the phone than meaningful support from Google.
The cloud equivalent of buying a used car. You're pretty much on your own. Plus very few professionals in our region are getting certified on it.
Helping a colleague troubleshoot an #azure oddity - trying to get the details of a Key Vault using the #azurecli with az keyvault show --name X but it errors out saying that an unrelated resource group could not be found. (Apparently the resource group did exist at one point, but has been deleted)
az keyvault list is empty, as is list-deleted, but the vault definitely exists.
Getting into working with #docker and #azure is proving painful thus far. I feel like almost zero of my prior experience is transferable. My time spent managing #linux and #windows servers in the past yields zero benefit. Sure, the Azure CLI is sane enough, because I know how to use the terminal.
Getting an overview of the Azure resources I need is horrible though. I need some 15 different services to get a simple multi-container app with storage and DB to run, and configuration is paaaaain 😣
Hey there folks, I'm Zach! I’m a dad, husband, and a Principal Solutions Architect at Avantax Wealth Management. The main technologies that I work with are #dotnet, #AWS, #Azure, #Javascript, and #Python
Every time I sign into #Azure I'm reminded that I would actually rather bang my genitals in the fridge door if it too would solve my problems.
UX folks at Microsoft, make that a user story.
out of curiousity has anyone seen data corruption issues with either Azure DevOps Repos (Git only) or #Databricks' Git provider. Specifically interested in during merge conflicts, where a file was changed and the change isn't reflected in Git history. Boosts appreciated #AzDO#azure#azuredevops#git#github
What are the biggest engineering moves #microsoft and #azure would have to make to become become the most #opensource and #linux native hyperscaler? Dream enormous, please.
#Microsoft seems to have lost a key that gives attackers access to basically ALL Microsoft #cloud services including "Login with Microsoft".
In other words: it looks like anything from Microsoft clouds including 3rd-party authentication is compromised. And they won't set up their systems from scratch as you'd normally do after a hack.
The same release added#GitHub registry support and retained separate #Azure support. This essay from last year about #VSCode as an onramp to Microsoft lock-in is looking more and more accurate: https://ghuntley.com/fracture/
Real question, any of my followers actually knowledgable about #Azure Front Door and can tell me why a high number of requests results in 400 response codes periodically.
After Chinese(?) hackers infiltrated #Azure & most probably all connected systems for years without being noticed, the Russians do seem to have stolen important source code.
Takeaways: #Microsoft isn't able to protect their most important assets. They don't even notice hackers in their systems for a long period of time. When your threat model relies on secret source code, you're not coding good #software.
"Gesundheitswesen überlastet, #Microsoft will mit #Cloud und KI helfen"
"Microsoft wirbt stark für den Einsatz seiner Dienste im Gesundheitswesen. Die Cloud-Infrastruktur #Azure sei dabei sehr sicher, verspricht das Unternehmen."
Es kann sich dabei wohl nur um einen Scherz handeln, oder? Nachdem die Kronjuwelen von Azure seit mehreren Jahre nachweislich infiltriert sind und kürzlich Millionen öffentliche interne Dateien aufgetaucht sind ... 🤦♂️
On the weekend I was playing with porting a #OpenAI#GitHub action to #Azure DevOps, and it is the first time that the prompt engineering concept it hit me, like for real. When people mentioned "prompt engineering", I got it, and I could imagine it, but I did not saw it so real.
I must admit, this news about #Uranus and #Neptune has me shook:
"A fresh analysis of Voyager 2's images show both ice giants are in fact a similar shade of greenish blue, which is the 'most accurate representation yet' of the planets' colors, the new study finds."
#Azure Portal - Errors accessing the Azure Portal - Investigating
Impact Statement: Starting at approximately 15:00 UTC Azure customers may experience error notifications when trying to access the Azure Portal. We are aware of this issue and we're currently investigating. Further updates will be provided shortly.
