Work at a large company. Lots of non-technical people fall under IT.

Security decided that any Linux VM needs Microsoft Defender ATP installed. Okay.

It was installed by the DevOps team on all the VM's in Azure. Many, many people reported that their machines were now using 100% CPU, or 1 of their multiple CPUs were pegged by a defender process. This isn't uncommon.

Solution? Devops added cores to all machines. Wonder how much that bumped up the bill.
