Everyone knows two things about saving money on Azure VMs: 1, chose a smaller size and 2, turn it off when you are not using it. It turns out that the second one has an additional demand: you need to not use premium disks. What are premium disks? These are great! Great for performance and […]
Executive summary You cannot succeed if you simply offer a service. You need to build an app or a concept that is 80% repeatable. You need to add some intellectual property to your Azure based solution and then sell that in a nice package. Changes to the incentive program is coming and they are looking […]

I have made two presentations available online at the Integration Monday website. Part 1: Logic Apps a Beginner’s guide I made this in April 2017 and it starts from the beginning. There are some prereqs which I cover in this post. The post is for VS 2015 but it works for 2017 as well. This […]
