It was just the deadline we set to ourselves to have enough time for the
actual transition.

I think the largest problem is to define what exactly needs to be done.
You wanted to get input from an attorney on the agreements. And that
sounded like a long process. If it's just the technical doing, then
it's rather easy.
The technical todo list AFAIK is:
- Create an owner e-mail alias somewhere in spi-inc.org or debian.org,
which can be used as account owner for multiple AWS accounts and
Azure (so the alias needs to support address extension somehow).
- Create AWS accounts and accept
- https://aws.amazon.com/agreement/
- https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/
This step needs a billing method assigned temporariliy. After that
David can somehow move the projects into the Amazon OEM organization.
- Create debian.org (or SPI with debian.org[1]) Azure Active Directory for
authentication.
- Create Azure subscription with information sent to the owner e-mail.
(At least it worked this way when we (credativ) did this setup.)
Steve from Microsoft contacted zobel and me about the Debian publishing
subscription. He wanted to know the owner e-mail address.
Thank you for your work.

Bastian
[1]: If the AAD is debian or spi+debian+others depends on how we want to
automatically manage users in the future. Permissions for user
management are global, so an automatic process can't be restricted to
debian.org.
