X : How do you think MSFT Azure is doing in cloud?
Me : Pretty good, 2nd tier to Amazon and Alibaba but that's not bad.
X : Don't you think they could win cloud?
Me : Gosh, ask me in 2008 - blog.gardeviance.org/2008/11/how-do… - back then, maybe. Now? Well, 2nd tier is very respectable.
X : Don't you think Satya is turning MSFT around?
Me : I think Satya has turned MSFT around. I have a bias here - - but long term games aren't won on bias.
X : What about the serverless world of containers? Isn't MSFT leading this?
Me : Oh ... "serverless world of containers"? ... we need a new word for serverless. How about "runtime as a utility service" which would enable me to put clear blue water between serverless & containers.
X : What's wrong with "serverless"? Is it because there are really servers?
Me : No. Let me think, what's the best way to explain the problem .... ah, I know ...
X : What would it take for MSFT to become first in cloud?
Me : Something outstanding, a major slip by Amazon or outrageously good gameplay but ... 2nd tier is not something to be sniffed at, it's a good position and MSFT has many other offerings.
