Agree with sibling comments. Not immediately relevant to me but at my current position we go out of our way to avoid anything and everything Amazon. Very hard to do. And if a project were backed by Amazon I would be very embarrassed to start building on it at work.

We are so serious about this that I almost got a contract canceled because it looked like they were running on AWS, and we got them to switch to Azure.

Sibling comments are bashing MS. I read your comment to the end, and it read like a punchline to a joke, given who owns Azure?

I agree it does read like the punchline to a joke, that did not escape me when I wrote it, but the larger message is that comments explaining who really owns projects we're talking about are not "unhelpful and unproductive".

Many of the sibling comments were coming from the maintaining freedom perspective, which I personally appreciate as well. I wanted to chime in that this information is also helpful from a corporate/competitive perspective.
