  • not 1. or 2. (while I don’t have very high opinions of Microsoft, I don’t think they’d voluntarily break the promise because way too much money from other huge corporations goes their way).

    Microsoft can and does promise what the customers want. When the warrant comes - and we’ve seen stupider warrants from the current “administration of never-ending firsts” - they can shrug and say “it’s the law. Sorry.”

    So Microsoft’s promise, given the cloud act, is made while they KNOW they can’t uphold it; and with a team of lawyers looking it over, they know this going in. The US gov can most definitely grab your data from a US company’s servers on Irish soil, for instance, as that’s specifically why the USCloud act was enacted.

    Want to see what Mark has on his mind going into the next NAFTA meeting? NSA no-tell warrant to raid Outlook or AWS-CA1 or azure and it’s all his. Tesla need a leg-up against Rivian? Same. Facebook wants to know what Germany has in store for privacy? Go check all their email.

    OVH at least structured to ensure no warrant can legally compel release of data.






  • In NJ it would be called a jughandle

    That’s not a jug-handle. That’s a clover. A jug-handle is like the i80 on-ramp near Kennedy and Jackson in Hackensack.

    And, if you’re up near Paramus, you only know that exit had a ‘U’-turn because of a sign as you pass UNDER the exit in question. It’s why NJ drivers are so angry.

    But I disagree that the left-exit is better than the jug-handle. Slow-movers in the passing lane is always dumb on a freeway – it’s like someone on a 10-speed in the left lane. Unless it’s a highway and the left lane is a controlled turning lane, the left exit is the best way to a stressful day for everyone.

    I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

    Popular isn’t always better. See: Betamax/VHS, Blu-ray vs HDDVD, skype/MSSkype, everything vs Teams, everything vs Outlook, everything vs Azure. Ansible is accessible like DUPLO is accessible, man, and with the payola like Blu-ray got and the pressuring like what shot systemd into the frame, of course it would appeal to the C-suite.

    Throwing a few-thousand at Ansible/AAP and the jagged edges pop out – and we have a team of three that is dedicated to Nagios and AAP. And it’s never not glacially slow – orders of magnitude slower than absolutely everything.
