To.... get acquired by Microsoft in order to become the modern version of Active Directory?
It's so strange that they brag about Kafka as their big tech achievement, the "relevant news feed" is what killed linkedin for me and many other people.
Good luck moving the infrastructure for all those nonsense clickbait articles to azure. You won't have me as a product no matter where those servers sit.
This is just good business by Microsoft, boost those azure revenues by saying "Linkedin runs on Azure", maybe there are cost savings as well.
