Day 500. Concluding the #Azure Defender shitshow from the last few days, we presented our findings to our organization's IT Security team. They agreed with us that Azure Defender is pretty much useless and then just a few weeks later proceeded to roll out Defender plans to even more subscriptions.

This is not about security. It's about compliance. And about how it would look to an auditor if an organization were to not use Azure Defender.

Day 494. Following up on the shit from day 478, where we updated the DNS server on our vnet and the #Azure Databse for PostgreSQL flexible server refused to adopt the new DNS server which blocked our production subscription migration for weeks. After the issue got escalated to the Azure database team, they were able to manually update the DNS server on the database instances for us.

CVSS 10, you say. 🧐😩

AWS, Microsoft Azure, and CloudFlare – services run by gigantic corporations with endless supply of money and talent – all experience catastrophic, global failures that take innumerable other services down with them within 30 days. :blob0w0:

Meanwhile Wikipedia just keeps chugging along, globally stable and reliable as always. :blobcatlove:

And yes, Wikimedia Foundation runs a pretty complex infrastructure:

Reminder: The #internet was built to route around damage on a communication route. By centralizing on #cloudflare , #aws, #azure, and #googlecloud, we've removed the redundancy model that was core to the initial internet principles.
