Azure Greg NewsLetter v28

This is the 28th edition of my weekly newsletter - As always, thank you for reading.

19 days until Ignite - super excited!

This week we had our bi-monthly Glasgow Azure User Group where we had Anthony Mashford presenting on Azure NetApp Files which was great, learned a lot, and was super useful as a customer was asking about this. During his talk, Anthony deployed ANF using Terraform and I’m creating a pull request shortly with the Bicep version - I’m having good fun with this stuff!

Career Tips and Advice

• Try to do things yourself, first, then seek help. I find you learn more by doing more things yourself and then asking for help once you’ve explored avenues.
