MVP: Azure MVP re-awarded!!!

I received an email in the early hours of this morning right when Arsenal just slotted
one home in the Champions Leagueand I thought”Can this moment get any better?” –
YOU BET! My MVP re-award email came through 🙂

Big thanks to the folks at Microsoft for bestowing this award to me again (9th year
running) and being given the chance to be part of a great knowledgeable MVP community.

The real thanks goes to you guys in the community of which I try to make a difference
in the Azure Space. With cloud offerings changing every other week (it feels like),
it’s almost a full time job keeping on top of things. New numbers, bigger limits,
faster storage, different ways to manage traffic, connections, deployments, code platforms
and the list goes on.

Thanks to each and all of you for making this award possible in this great country
– Australia (down under, Oz and any other name you know it as)

Boom!!

or as a friend says ’Ka-Boom!’

However, that idea of clutter-reduction has recently over-reached it […]
