Microsoft Ignite The Tour Amsterdam
Last week I’ve visited Microsoft Ignite The Tour in Amsterdam. Two realy great days with a lot of new information, presentations and knowledge. There also where a couple of new announcements from Microsoft.
My focus was Azure IaaS, security, governance and cost control within Azure. Of course there was a lot more to see, but this event was only 2 days, so I’ve had to make choices!
Microsoft has published the slide decks online, so you can download these now! (click)
Hoppefully I’ll be present the next year at this great event!!
