31 Days of Windows Servers (VMs) in the Cloud series for the IT Pro
During the month of January, my peers and I will be publishing a daily blog series on named the 31 Days of Windows Servers (VMs) in the Cloud. In this series we will cover the many facets and features of Windows Azure and the Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) features of Windows Azure. What is Windows Azure you ask? I did a previous blog post on this exact topic and why this is so important for IT Pros to begin to learn more about Windows Azure. In addition, I’ve outlined my top 3 Steps to get going with Windows Azure below.
STEP 1 – Sign up for FREE Windows Azure account and start your journey to learning
