@glipari @oblomov I would not agree with this. There are plenty of reasons not to pay (including “I made an account to raise an issue, I’m not hosting any code there”, for example). I am just asking for people to pay *if they can*.

Here’s what a monopoly is.

If your corporation is a monopoly (or part of a duopoly, or a triopoly, or whatever), you can fire all your best staff, let your services degrade to hell, and you’ll still keep all your customers (and all their money) because there’s nowhere else to go.

I don’t really care that all the big cloud providers are corporations beholden to the USA. I care that there’s 3–4 of them. It wouldn’t matter where they were based if there were 100.

Azure is broken. They are “experiencing DNS issues”.

Soon, people will be shouting, “It’s always DNS!”

And not for a second asking, “Who put a stupid value in DNS?”

They definitely won’t ask why we never test our DNS entries in a way that’s safe to fail.

Isn’t it fun how “DNS failure” means “we put the wrong value in DNS”?

I shall refer to all screw-ups as “Kubernetes failures” henceforth, as this seems to be the protocol.
