Seems that they use Google Cloud Platform.

    pr-mstr-scm-vendor.homedepot.com. 3644 IN A 35.244.200.97


https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/goog.json "35.240.0.0/13"

I wonder if "SCM" might stand for "supply chain management" here? A quick DDG search returned some relevant press:

- https://cloud.google.com/customers/the-home-depot/

- https://globalcloudplatforms.com/2021/12/18/the-sap-migratio...

- https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/the_home_depot_sap...



Ooooh, so that's what's going on there.

I wanted to see evidence of the actual upgrade, so asked IA.

There are only two archives: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://pr-mstr-scm-vendor.hom...

The second one is from today, presumably thanks to an automated HN crawler :)

The first one is from Sep 2019, and is a Google 404: https://web.archive.org/web/20190920171313/http://pr-mstr-sc...

Now I wonder where the URL came from if the page was a 404 at the time. (IA says it got crawled as part of the Alexa Crawls project.)


> Now I wonder where the URL came

I've had stuff like this crawled in the past because it was linked from internal (but not private) documentation, which in turn was indexed because of a link that found its way into a public page.
