I've used their operating systems for more than 30 years. And I've used their development tools and databases for more than 25 years.
I haven't been enamored with them since they went all out with Azure. I've found no value in any of the Azure offerings. In fact, they've made my professional life much more difficult. Now they're cramming AI and CoPilot in, up, and down every one of our orifices. I don't want any of it.
On 5/28 join @benny and Claus Wieser for a live chat where they:
💥 Bust myths about #Linux on #Azure
👉 Share CentOS migration options and paths in #MicrosoftAzure
🤔 Explain why to choose AlmaLinux as your distro & how to migrate
As a note: we'll be hosting this event on our Jitsi server and your personal contact information won't be used for anything beyond notifications related to this event.
Learning #Azure would be a lot easier if the documentation was up to date and things on the portal didn’t just hang or stop working at random intervals. Ffffuu
🤡 At Microsoft, years of security debt come crashing down
「 For many critics of Microsoft, the events of the past nine months are the logical conclusion of a company that has ridden the wave of market dominance for decades and ignored years of warnings that its product security and practices failed to meet the most basic standards.
“In a healthy marketplace, these would be fireable offenses,” 」
I've started documenting various issues\problems that I face in my #sysadmin role when working in #Azure.
My first technical post is all about the challenges faced when securing #Microsoft#SQL in a multi-tenancy environment. I will write more as and when I come across other interesting issues!
"Ich will nichts mehr von zwanzigstelligen Passwörtern, freiwilligen Cyber-Sicherheitssiegeln und BSI-Grundschutz hören, bis das BSI die skandalösen Sicherheitsvorfälle bei #Microsoft offen anspricht und auch endlich konkrete Maßnahmen ergreift, die geeignet sind, diese Gefahr für unsere Infrastruktur zu verstehen und zumindest einzugrenzen. DHS und CISA haben gezeigt, dass das geht."
Great keynote by Ross Gardler at #OSSummit sharing #Microsoft’s open source evolution, and the innovation engine project that’s driving improvements in docs and #Azure Copilot. #OSSNA2024
Part 6 of "A Guide to Implementing ActivityPub in a Static Site (or Any Website)" is now out.
Sorry about the delay, this is the part that not many people will like, I assume. I try to explain how to implement the inbox, which by nature is dynamic non-static.
"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 ... 🤦♂️
Day 211. #Azure App Service per default exposes an IIS management port for Web Apps. You don't want your Web App to come with this open port? Easy, simply redeploy it until you land on an underlying server where that port has been deactivated.
🔐 Vendor lock-in hurts UK govt ability to negotiate spending | The Register
「 "UK government's current approach to cloud adoption and management across its departments faces several challenges" which combined result "in risk concentration and vendor lock-in that inhibit UK government's negotiating power over the cloud vendors." 」
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.
