Getting Started with Windows Azure: Part 1 Introduction

  • Artikel

Regular visitors to my blog know that I am an expert in Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).  That has been my focus for many years now.  I also have a strong background in Active Directory, previously working for the Directory Services support team at Microsoft.  As Microsoft transitions to a Services and Devices company, I must transition my skill sets as well.  I will continue to periodically blog and talk about PKI.  However, a majority of my focus is going to be on cloud technologies such as Azure. 

So, this is Part I in which will hopefully turn out to be a long running series on Azure.  I will be talking about Windows Azure from the perspective of an IT Professional.
