I just want to contrast this article on AWS to its Azure counterpart- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47616242.

2 companies have functionally similar products, but behaves completely different. One company makes technical decisions with security as the fundamental principal, while for the other company, security is not a consideration.

That’s an unfair characterisation!

Azure engineers absolutely considered security.

They just chose other priorities: growth at any cost to catch up with AWS.
