Am I suffering from confirmation bias from HN bubble, or is Microsoft really going downhill?

There's not a single mention of Windows in the article. It rather sounds like a service issue?

Meant to say Microsoft, going to change it thanks

I've always wondered how much of Azure is built on Windows Server (and .NET) vs Linux plus open source languages.

Large chunks of it are still running on .NET, but nowadays, that's an open source cross-platform framework, so they're running it on Linux, mostly within containers.

It was Azure Front Door: their reverse-proxy/CDN service. I doubt it's running on Windows.

My bad, I meant to say Microsoft as a company not windows as a product

Time to introduce our friends and relatives to Linux

The platform affected was likely running Linux.

Ya the company I work for has a bunch of .net containers, and it all runs in linux. A lot of people don't realize Microsoft embraced linux.

Why care if you got monopoly-alike power?

Sorry, what do you mean?

I'll be getting downvoted for it but imho Ms never really cared about creating good software products and has been shoveling (at best) mediocrity through their wildly successful sales channels and through developing a stranglehold on public institutions (vendor lock-in). Azure is just another angle.

Because people can easily move off Azure...It is a highly competitive market

Let's just hope they don't get to the extinguish stage
