My experience was that salespeople bugged managers who bugged me to use cosmos because or course I want to use Microsoft's take on Mongo. It wasnt just that. They also advised managers to enforce the use of teams for security reasons - which is a bit like advising that you install windows for open source reasons. And while SQL server worked fine, postgres and mariadb were initially "unapproved" for security reasons and dog slow once they were (& support couldnt help for some reason). In business terms Microsoft seems to be basically be a rebranded Oracle - playing an elaborate game of vendor lock in using every trick available while trying to maintain a thin veneer of deniability, circumventing the need to compete on the quality of their software. Now if youll excuse me I have an unwieldy YAML github actions mess to unwind so we can move to a different CI platform. I wonder why they let it get so bad.
