This isn't about any service.
This is about Microsoft in general. It brings up the question of whether they can manage a server environment. It doesn't matter what that environment is. Preservation of data is always job one. And this is the job where the failure occurred. So Pink, Azure, cloud, none of this matters. Keeping data safe is a very basic job that applies to every environment. This was a failure at the most basic of IT administration levels. So again, it has nothing to do with the cloud or any service running in the cloud. It only has to do with the most basic of IT administrations. The cloud didn't fail, Pink didn't fail, Azure didn't fail, no service or "as a service" failed, Microsoft failed.
