Outcome is the same, but being "conservative" isn't the real reason.
Adding a vendor requires compliance work, process, finance etc that it's just effort.
99% of medium-large companies use Microsoft in some form so Azure can skip all of that to some extent.
- Jensson 2y agoThat is what he meant with conservative, ie trying to not do new things because it takes more work to change.
- re-thc 2y ago> ie trying to not do new things because it takes more work to change That's not what the word conservative means, not by the dictionary or even politically. Conservative is the averse to change or to hold traditional values without logic. It's more like a type of fear. Even if the change was easy or have 0 cost, a conservative entity won't do it.
- mejthemage 2y agoWhy did you copy the dictionary's definition nearly perfectly, but then add "without logic"? In many cases, the conservative approach to a problem is prudent because the old ways work whereas there is more risk and uncertainty with new. That's not fear, it's wisdom.
