Our datacenter infrastructure is currently mostly hosted on Azure, some on a Fujitsu DC. We used to be 100% in-house many years ago. How funny it would be if we had to go back to that in order to save costs.

What was also funny (to me) is how Azure was absolutely no-go after having tested it because of the lackluster performance (compared to our then-live platform). But as soon as MS sweetened the deal contract-wise, suddenly there were no lingering performance issues anymore.

Those dozens of emails of irate customers with ass-slow systems tell me differently, but ok. I'm not the one making millions in bonuses; the people who do surely know better than I do. I just get paid to tell those poor customers to fuck off in a more polite way.

I remember the "everything has to be cloud" days too.

The fool falls for it everytime.

Wish I had the charisma to have someone shoot themself in their own foot and pay me for it.
