I think it's total bureaucratic BS and can't see anyone who isn't job hopping either by choice or bad luck having 3 prior managers recent enough to give good feedback. In my case excluding current coworkers it'd be a PM who left my current employer 4(?) years ago (assuming I can find her in linked in), the line manager/pm on a job I left over 5 years ago, and other people who were a manager of mine of some sort at that job 8-10 years ago.
Even if I were to be laid off from my current job - I'd still only have 3 non-technical managers available. If they wanted technical views of my skills it'd either need to be non-managers, or the 5 and 10 year ago people at old job. The 5 year ago one I'm at least certain would sing my praises, but my more marketable skills have grown considerably since then (went from mostly winforms to web/mobile dev at my new job).
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Thanks for chiming in. That's the kind of reaction I expected a lot of people would have to this -- it's a ridiculous request for 98% (or higher) of job searchers.

From "Azure Webinars:"Quote: Dear Customer,
For the last 25 years, Java has been the programming language of choice for developers. But today, the need to modernize Java applications has never been greater due to organizations coming under pressure to deliver faster time to market, reduce costs, and strengthen security. And this raises the question: how do you get Java to run well in the cloud?

You don't use Java

The only time I use Java is for Minecraft modding. Otherwise it’s C#.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

I am developing in Java right now but never occur to me to run it the cloud. It would make many developers happy if it rained coffee instead of plain water 
And in the plus side we would be outdoor more often. I am told many times that I spend too much time in my cubicle

I think they did, actually.
I just so happen to know that Microsoft is pushing Azure to non-Microsoft developers.
Azure works great for all sorts of technologies, not just Microsoft's, but many developers do not know this.
Next to .NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET, it can run Java, PHP, Node, Python and Ruby (I did not know about Ruby until just now) out of the box.
And next to SQL Server they also have Cosmos DB (which supports multiple paradigms and has a MongoDB interface), MariaDB and MySQL, all managed a.k.a. cloud-native.
And of course there's support for various container technologies such a Kubernetes and Linux has become the default OS in Azure for many services.
With Azure DevOps you get tooling to quickly build and deploy said technologies as well as private repositories for not only NuGet, but also npm, Maven, Gradle, pip and twine.
So there really shouldn't be a reason Java developers shouldn't use Azure, yet now it's not considered an obvious choice.
What Brad and Satya want is that when those developers think "cloud" they think "Azure".
And that's why you got that email

4) they don't require a brain pacemaker, nor do they want one.
That should cover it nicely.

One of the few good things about winter is the acceptability by Herself of me making soup for lunch.

I have seen terrible accidents happen to field cooks who wanted to serve soup for lunch. Rumor has it that some of them ended up on a stick, slowly rotating over a fire.

Exactly. Most cooks don't have to deal with critics who are armed to the teeth.
