MSDN Flash Podcast 020 – David Gristwood and AWS talk Azure
Note: Cross posted from IUpdateable from Eric Nelson.
On January 1st I switched focus to 100% Azure. My friend and colleague David Gristwood has been firmly focused on Azure through 2009 working with early adopters. We decided to record a podcast talking about what we are up to and how Microsoft UK has been helping early adopters using deep dive labs, workshops and training. We also have a stab at describing the Windows Azure Platform in 1 minute (I hopelessly overrun by 100%) and we finish with an interview between David and Active Web Solutions (AWS). AWS are an early adopter of Azure and give a great insight into the benefits they have seen.
Split roughly as:
- 15 minutes David and I “having a chat” :-)
- 15 minutes on the AWS interview.
We suspect this will be the start of a regular series of Azure focused podcasts. Hey, maybe even a spin off podcast. Time will tell :)
