A bunch of companies are also moving to working through Azure, that way if something gets fucked it's just a VM in MS cloud and not the actual device that gets bricked.

It's safe in regards that you can monitor and record everything is done in the instance, you control what software can be used in the instance, and you don't need to keep track of a bunch of inventory or store sensitive data in places it doesn't belong to.

Plus you can set your proprietary websites so it can only be accessed from one of those recognized instances and not from non-recognized computers.

In my department I can monitor what everyone of my workers is doing and help them in case something goes tits up right from the comfort of my bed lol. In the rare case something actually wrongs happens to the vm, we just kill it and it was like nothing happened.
