Microsoft Contributes Integrity Improvements To Linux 5.12

[Danielsan]

Explain how it impacts you when you are using a cloud provider.

If you believe that M$ technology is unreliable you are virtualizing your Linux server/whatever over an unreliable infrastructure, unless you believe that Windows Server 2008 is a good option anyway.

Wait till they bring device attestation to linux kernels, so you can only use their services from a "secure system".. Which is only possible by using pre-compiled / signed kernels MS releases...
That´s the way they kill Open Source Linux in Enterprises...

If you have a trust issue with the vendor, you wouldn't be using their cloud anyway regardless of their hypervisor ie) the specific hypervisor doesn't change that

Err, no. IMA attestation has existed in Linux for a long time. This is just an incremental addition to existing infrastructure.

This reply is quite elusive... It is not a trust issue it is a technology issue...

As you noted earlier: "If you believe that M$ technology is unreliable " I view it as lack of trust.

No it isn't, it is just experience. Do you work for M$?

You talked about belief earlier. If you have experience specifically using their hypervisor in the cloud and that didn't work out well for you, that would indeed count as experience and not merely a belief. No, I have no affiliation with Microsoft

No, I have been talking about a service that relies on a cluster of Windows servers. Do not mislead my words, thanks.

So you have experience with on-prem Windows servers but no experience with either hypervisor or cloud? If so, I stand by what I originally said.
