Made worse by “cloud washing”
First Hybrid Cloud Platform Virtualization-replacement
What it is What it is not
Integrated system with self-service IaaS,
PaaS, & cloud solutions
DIY infrastructure
Regularly updated for Azure-consistency Static system you deploy & forget
Azure Stack
Why?
Azure Stack integrated system lifecycle
Architecture,
