EP23 | Front Door Fiascos, Diagram Deaths, and the Security Theatre: A Cloudy Rant

Update: 2025-11-03

Description

Welcome to another episode of "Cloudy with a Chance of Insights," where the only thing more unpredictable than the British weather is the state of the Microsoft Cloud.

This week, Richard, David, and Cyrus gather to dissect a week that saw Azure Front Door trip over its own welcome mat, the existential crisis of the humble architecture diagram, and a healthy dose of security theatre—complete with all the drama and none of the popcorn.
