Debian 13 cloud installs vary widely in tools and vulnerability reporting

A comparison of Debian 13 installations across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCE) revealed significant differences in default package availability and hardware toolsets. While a local Debian 13 install had 1,923 packages, cloud instances ranged from 328 to 350. Notably, AWS and Azure lacked essential NVMe management tools like `nvme-cli` on systems that exclusively used NVMe drives, whereas GCE included these tools along with `dmidecode`. The comparison also highlighted differing vulnerability reporting, with Azure flagging Retbleed vulnerability while AWS and GCE did not. AI
