you built a internal project, co-hosted with a database, with a password 'abc123'

a month later, your manager decided to share it with other teams, the decision was made in a meeting which you're not invited

when the manager came to you, you asked:

- how about give me a week to make it a saas, with authn/authz

- no, we don't have the time, just tell them the endpoint and the password

another month later, something changed, your company built a partership with another company, your manager decided to share the project with teams in the other company

you asked:

- how about we do something like virtual network peering so that we can share a connected network with our parter

- it's complex, we can not change the network status of our partner, and we don't have a responsible role for this work, just give them the endpoint and the password

password 'abc123' is just a analogy, in this case, there's no password at all

And virtual network peering requires a license in China anyway.
I literally can hear Jimmy Yang as Jian Yang in Silicon Valley narrate this...!
