Whether you’re a cloud enthusiast or just love a good tune, this episode is sure to hit all the right notes and keep you grooving through the cloud complexities. Tune in and let’s bust some myths together!

Happy Earth Day everyone!  We celebrate by hosting an insightful conversation with a true sustainability and cloud expert, Mr. Thom McKiernan.  Thom joins us from beautiful Bedford, England and talks in-depth about Microsoft's carbon negative goals, and how we are helping our Azure customers through our cutting-edge capability in Azure Carbon Optimization. 

Our brave NetSec Kings, Kevin Lopez, Bruce Cosden and Abhi Singh return for the final installment of this trilogy.  What are the do's and don'ts of mapping out your quest for enterprise networking and security?  Plus, obscure musical references!

Lord Kevin Lopez assembles an all-star cast with Bruce Cosden and Abhi Singh as we continue our adventure to realizing a secure cloud platform.  What does it mean to be really secure?  How do you make it all work, what are other customers doing?  Consider these two your personal guides out of the Shire and past the dangers that await.

Join us in this adventure not to a place of dinosaurs, man-eating plants and a shockingly more youthful Brendan Fraser.  No friends, this is the journey to Azure as told by Global Blackbelt Director Roan Daley.  Follow Roan, Bill and Shelley into a magical tunnel that transforms old datacenters and legacy applications, opening the door to the world of cloud modernization.   

It's the Return of the King! The king of networking and security that is.  At least he is in the sacred scrolls we read.  Welcome back Kevin Lopez in this first of a trilogy on Azure NetSec.  In this episode Kevin builds a foundation to the house that is a modern migration.  What are the bits and bytes of Azure network security?  How does one begin to make sense of and prioritize the security conversation and we setup for the deep dives coming in this epic 3 part series.

Purists might call this Episode 10, but that's an argument for the Internet.  Not so long ago and right here in this galaxy, a new hope has arisen against cybersecurity threats.  Our heroine Amanda Theel leads a resistance force which trains young Padawans to protect critical infrastructure from the dark side. In this episode, we learn about Amanda's passion, skills and creativity for her program and why there are no losers in this battle against evil. May the CyberForce be with you!
