This article covers VMM in-depth, the support for orchestrating the upgrade from 2012 R2 to 2016, creating storage spaces direct clusters, storage replica, software defined networking and shielded VMs. There’s also a bit on support for VMware and a bit on the other System Center products.

Azure Usage and Billing Portal for 4Sysops
Here’s another post that was published a while ago on 4Sysops. This time I looked at a “hobby project” from a couple of people in the Azure engineering team. This is a study in deploying a “complex” piece of software in Azure but the end result is a PowerBI dashboard to track usage and billing across multiple subscriptions. Find it here.
Enjoy! And thanks for reading.
