Introducing Azure Management Talk

Our Azure Management Talk is a bite-sized webinar series with a focus on all things Azure management.

Azure is fast-evolving, and often, it can get quite complicated. With so many things to learn and not enough time, the huge swathes of learning resources available online can quickly get overwhelming. What’s more, many things you learn are at risk of getting outdated rather quickly. So, how can I master Azure management quickly and efficiently, you ask?

This series will expedite your Azure learning curve. Why get lost in the crowd of documentation when you can get streamlined, up-to-date specialist knowledge directly from the field experts? Learn exactly what you need to know through real-world use cases, and above all – do it quickly!

In this 5-part series, we cover everything you need to take control of your environment for good. Discussing monitoring, cost, Lighthouse, Resource Graph, and more, industry experts and community champions share their top Azure management tips, replete with real-life examples.
