Welcome to Episode 25 and the last episode of 2020 - can you believe it?  In this episode I am joined by an awesome friend and colleague Mike Lamia. Mike shares with us his career story. A born technologist there is nothing else that Mike could imagine himself doing. Although one role and terribly managed server room almost made him consider it. But VMware and virtualisation saved the day and he stayed with the industry. Mike now works in Technical Marketing at Dell Technologies focused on Azure Stack products and loves to 'make tech real' for our customers. We also discuss setting some goals for 2021 and I get a special commitment from Mike! Have you thought about your 2021 goals yet? Let us know in the comments below!

This is the third episode of a mini Azure Stack Family series with Darren Small and Kenny Lowe.  We get stuck in to the Azure Stack portfolio and hybrid cloud and answer your questions.     In this episode we discuss the imminent launch of Azure Stack HCI.  We talk about use cases with a focus on AKS.  Kenny delivers a great explanation of how to differentiate between Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack HCI.  We clarify licensing and commercials for Azure Stack HCI as well as clarify what disconnected and connected mean when applying those terms to Azure Stack HCI and Hub.  Kenny shares his set up for testing Hub with ASDK and HCI with WS labs. Azure Arc of course takes up some of our discussion and we talk about the Microsoft &amp; Dell Technologies Centre of Excellence in partnership with Bordonaro IT in Germany.    If you have any questions for future episodes, let us know here: https://bit.ly/3o5Lru3 Darren is a Hybrid Technical Specialist at Microsoft and Kenny the Senior Manage for Open HCI Engineering Technologists at Dell Technologies.    You can connect with them both at the below Twitter handles and Links: Twitter: @KennyLowe   Blog: http://www.azurestack.tips   Twitter: @DarrenMSFT   EPISODE LINKS: CoE - Microsoft Azure Stack Center of Excellence powered by Dell Technologies (azurestack-coe.com)  WSLab: https://github.com/microsoft/wslab Jaromir Kaspar (created WSLab): https://twitter.com/jaromirkaspar PREVIOUS EPISODES: The first episode is EP2 where we discuss how to make the perfect chip at home, the Azure Stack Family of products, how the portfolio and messaging has evolved as well as why Scotland is such a hub for technology: https://bit.ly/3iKUYoh And the second episode is EP7 where we discuss why Azure Stack Edge is a perfect sidekick for Azure Stack Hub, the benefits of a disconnected Hub, what it means to run an appliance in your datacentre, AKS Engine and answer some questions.

EP 21 - Thomas Maurer - Career Development & Azure Arc

At Microsoft Inspire in July there were some pretty big announcements regarding Azure Stack HCI. This resulted in a lot of excitement and a lot of questions. To help get some of those questions answered I pulled together some experts from the community and Microsoft to discuss the announcements and answer your questions. From Microsoft I am joined by Darren Small, John Marlin and Thomas Maurer and we also have MVPs Kenny Low and Jan-Tore Pedersen. I will publish a blog in the next week or so with a summary of our conversation and all of the questions and answers. In the mean time I have included some important links below so check them out!  @JohnMarlin_MSFT @DarrenMsft @ThomasMaurer @Jantorep @KennyLowe For asking questions or reporting issues, you should go to https://aka.ms/hci-qa.  Think of this as the old MSDN forums.  When you ask a question, please ensure “azure-stack-hci” is the tag as this is what the Microsoft Product Group is searching on. For suggesting new features or improvements, you can go to https://aka.ms/hci-uservoice. For more information about Azure Stack HCI, you can visit our Azure Stack HCI page (https://azure.com/hci) or read through the various documentation (planning, deploying, etc) that is available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-stack/hci/?branch=release-hci. For the support billing options and pricing, you should be able to get it at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/plans/.  The Premier/Unified Support option is not listed as this is not a specific Azure support offering, however, it does cover Azure Stack HCI.  For opening up a support ticket, you can either call in or use the open a ticket through Azure.
