I did a little research on this in 2017 [1]. I have not seen any cloud provider trying to prevent this kind of attack. In my experience AWS is better then most others as they add a 10 digit random number to your hostname. However, if you delegate something to AWS and forget to remove your delegation after its use, then it is easy to reclaim that delegation by a third-party. Here is a nice one from Azure: mybrowser.microsoft.com

Anyone have more detail on:

It seems that it may be possible, with some cloud providers, for a
new customer to request to use the same cloud DNS name as a previous
customer?  If so, why?
