The government does most things poorly and with little regard to budget or quality. They can't solve problems that are much simpler than cloud computing, so why should I expect them to perform better at a more complex problem?

Suddenly everyone on HN is an expert on Azure infrastructure.

it isn't the best but it's really great at a lot of things feature-wise. top-notch documentation as well (despite what these "experts" said).

Most companies literally run on Azure these days. Persistent hackers will get into any network, that's a guarantee, that's APT 101. It's law of averages. If it truly is "a pile of shit" given how it is probably the most used cloud platform by the most customers, including governments, and endless plethora of features and services it offers, shouldn't there be more compromises? 2-3 in a decade is hardly above what you expect for law of averages right?

Screw ups happen, but if it is systemic, you can't use one instance as evidence, you must establish a pattern of mishaps.
