I work for a 300+B company that spends nearly $1b a year on AWS.

Microsoft engaged in a relentless romance campaign with our loser EVP and one of his reports for months giving him the cool LinkedIn post opportunities that weak executives crave.

Eventually he started pushing engineering to move to Azure.

We have not yet (many bullets dodged so far) but it’s there and a periodic major time sink entirely due to manipulation and flattery.

The entire “multicloud” push was a marketing effort by Microsoft to try and undermine exec faith in their “what? No, that’s a shit ton of work with zero return on investment” engineering teams.
