Need to Know podcast–Episode 280

I’m joined by Vic Perdana from Microsoft to speak about Azure cost management. Many people have shied away from Azure over price blow out concerns. The good news is that Azure has all the tools you need to successfully manage your costs and with the help of some techniques that Vic shares with us in this podcast, you should never have to worry again.

As the end of year approaches, I share a little bit of news and updates as well as taking this opporunity to thank everyone for listening in 2021 and stay tuned for more in 2022.
