They're using T-Systems (a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom) as a trustee. It's about 25% more expensive than the normal Azure.
- mschuster91 10y agoPersonal opinion on the quote from the Azure page... they quote T-Systems as "well-respected IT provider". Anyone who had ever to do business with them will respectfully disagree on this one. They were involved in Toll Collect and supplied the software and hardware infrastructure for Munich schools. The scandals surrounding Toll Collect speak for themselves, and a couple of years back when I still was at school I had enough fun hacking their cr.p to pieces to never ever trust anything with T-Systems involved. My personal favorite was "www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers, and students were allowed to upload PHP scripts to their personal web space. You can guess what my entrypoint was, and I believe it wasn't fixed despite multiple warnings for over eight years (the reason was that they employed a PHP-written framework whose name I've long since forgotten, it was well known at the time and was a bit similar to Webmin...) That said, the Azure Cloud seems to be quite stable, but I guess that all operating experience as well as the software stack comes from MS and T-Systems only has to keep the servers up and running.
