'An Azure customer was outraged after finding himself on the receiving end of an unexpected LinkedIn message from Ubuntu maker Canonical last night. The user, Luca Bongiorni, had spun up an instance of the Linux distro on an Azure corporate subscription in order to evaluate some tooling. Sensibly, the subscription is used as a sandbox for the purpose of testing. Upon clicking "Add new VM", the first option was Ubuntu 18.04, according to Bongiorni, which he selected in order to get his Linux kicks. Shortly after, however, a message turned up from an Enterprise Development representative at Ubuntu with the ominous phrase: "I saw that you spun up an Ubuntu image in Azure," and offering to be a point of contact.' -- source: https://www.theregister.com/2021/02/11/microsoft_azure_ubuntu_data_sharing/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 577-5304 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
