Cloud as a Story - Vunvulea Radu

I just released a new video where I talk about the Cloud Adoption Framework from the Governance point of view. If you want to find more about what are the tools that can support us during data migration and how to identify the Azure Services that best fit your needs you can check the video.

 I had the opportunity to be part of the Q&A team during the Azure Fundamental training that took place on 14th and 15th December 2020. As usually being part of Q&A team is useful to understand better what people are looking for and what areas are the highest interest for them.

 In the first week of December, I had the amazing opportunity to deliver a session during DPS 2020 . The session that I delivered was about overengineering the cloud when serverless and microservices are used to build a line of business applications.  More information about the session can be found below.

The focus of the session is around microservices and what is the impact of it during development, automation and operation phase. The purpose is to identify the balance between the size, number and complexity of the services taking into account the delivery time and budget, especially during the first iterations.
