Well-Architected: The Backstage Tour 2021
as the organisers put it
Here at Azure, we give a lot of advice. We’d really like to help you thrive on our platform. Reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence, and performance efficiency—we know that they are not easy to tackle when it comes to your cloud workloads. Join us for Well-Architected: The Backstage Tour, a virtual event where you will get five brief peeks at how we power the features that address each of these pillars of the Azure Well-Architected Framework.
who it's for
cloud architects, site reliability engineers, cloud operations engineers, security engineers, devops engineers, platform engineers, finops engineers, Azure administrators
topics
