Max Schrems, jurist: ‘The promise of the cloud was that everything would be much cheaper, but it turns out that it functions as a monopoly’

Omg, I got a reputation as being anti progressive because I kept telling the boss that maybe we shouldn't go all in with cloud. Being in security, I was worried about putting all our shit on the internet and hoping it would be safe. Given the wildly primitive tools we had to see what was happening, I felt my caution was justified.

Nope, shut up you Luddite, we will save big money and move faster.

Now we save money by paying Microsoft an arm and a leg every month for their shitty services. We also have to pay cloudflare another ransom to add the protection that Microsoft can't. We also pay Wiz buttloads of money to make sure that the first two things are working right.

Then someone who doesn't like the security controls just creates a new tenant and puts a mountain of exposed PII there to get stolen and random'd.

The cloud is the best.
