Azure is the most developer hostile cloud environment. I have zero sympathy for people being affected by this because if you voluntarily use Azure then this is what you deserve. Sorry for being so miserable, but Azure has given me soooo much grief over the last 10 years that I'm just completely done with this shitshow of a platform.

Because it's not the developers that choose the platform and Microsoft knows that.

I'm so surprised by MS's strategy for using random domains and TLD's, this certainly don't make it easy for phishing avoidance.

If you implement an allowlisting proxy, the number of required domains for M365 / Azure is something like 120 [1]. Google basically requires three, tunnel.cloudproxy.app, *.google.com and *.googleapis.com. Amazon requires *.aws.amazon.com, *.amazonaws.com, *.awsstatic.com, *.api.aws and *.aws.dev.

Microsoft has some great domain planning.

I guess many developers do not use Azure voluntarily but are forced to by their companies (or customers).
