Summary
Overview: is Microsoft’s hyperscale Cloud. It is strong when you are already in the Microsoft identity and productivity stack. We rate it hold for new platforms: recurring security incidents, opaque shared-responsibility “managed” services, and incentive-driven market share (startup credits) that do not equal fit-for-purpose engineering.
| Topic | Notes |
|---|---|
| Lock-in | M365 + Entra + Azure RBAC intertwine, exit is a program, not a toggle |
| Parity | Many services match AWS/GCP on paper; ops maturity and defaults differ |
| Containment | Terraform, policy guardrails, DevSecOps reviews on every subscription |
| Greenfield | Default away unless Microsoft stack is the explicit requirement |
