The Cloud ecosystem has faced a drastic and fast pace of change over the past couple of years. Many of those developers who deal/dealt with Azure may get lost in numerous increments. Those who consider Azure environment may be confused with tons of options brought with Azure getting mature and robust. We suggest joining a quick catch-up session… This is an edited version of the keynote deck in Azure-Readiness DevCamp
