New Kid On The Block!

A colleague of mine, Corno Christianen, has launched a new blog, aimed at Azure, Azure Stack and Windows Server. And yes, of course his blog will cover PowerShell as well, that goes without saying .

I respect Corno highly for his deep knowledge and thorough experience. For me is he is one of the company’s ‘Go-To-Guy’ when a problem needs to be fixed. Therefore I am pretty sure his blog will be good and worthwhile to keep an eye on.

His blog is titled DutchItPro.nl and certainly worth your time for a visit.

MAS TP2 Roll Out Started To Some Early Adopter Customers

Last week Microsoft started releasing MAS TP2. However, this roll out is limited for now to only a subset of interested customers, as Microsoft describes ‘…some early adopter customers…’. Hopefully TP2 will be made available to anyone, interested in this new technology.

Back to TP1 and to some ‘rumors’…
With TP1 out in the wild and available for anyone, many companies started test driving it. With it, the publicity and rumor machine started. During the last WPC Microsoft fed this rumor machine, by announcing MAS is to be revamped and delayed.

So even though MAS TP2 is out of reach for most companies yet, there is a lot of good stuff out there, all about MAS and what it will be like when finally released. For me these 4 articles shed some good light on it:

1. ZDNet: Microsoft answers critics on its Azure Stack hybrid cloud reset;
2. ZDNet: Microsoft to release Azure Stack as an appliance in mid-2017;
3. Microsoft Azure Blog: Growing the Azure Ecosystem with Microsoft Azure Stack;
4. Microsoft Azure Blog: Microsoft Azure Stack: Upcoming Technical Preview and other updates.
