Last week I received a message through the community that two of my best buddies at Microsoft had written a book! Without wasting more time, I immediately spun up my trusted workstation in search of this master piece of contemporary literature.
My friends Jan Depping and Herman Keijzer have in fact succeeded in writing a book in the style of the Microsoft Cloud-practice Playbooks, where they try and help explaining fundamental principles you can apply to all of your Azure projects.
Jan Depping works as a Partner Technology Strategist (PTS) in the Netherlands. Jan has worked for many years in the service provider and public sector space. With a background in computer technology and psychology, he is always looking the optimal balance between people and product. His main focus is creating new business models with AI, Blockchain and Cloud Computing.
Herman Keijzer works as a Partner Development Manager (PDM) on datacenter migration programs in western Europe. Before that he was a Partner Technology Strategist in Netherlands. Herman has worked for most of his IT life in the service provider space and has many years of experience in offering services online. In the early days, these were IP services or ASP services; these evolved into online services, private cloud and now into public cloud services. His service provider point of view means he is always looking at how to run services both as efficiently as possible and with the highest level of quality.
