What's the best Windows Server and Azure hybrid configuration? Richard talks to Orin Thomas about the new Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification. Orin digs into how the hybrid certifications pick up where regular Windows Server certifications leave off, adding Azure's role as backup, extended storage, telemetry, and security solutions. The conversation explores how different organizations implement services like file storage and how Azure can add to those solutions without needing significant user retraining but still add essential capabilities. Hybrid is a logical destination for some organization workloads, and certification can get you up to speed on all the options!Links:Windows Server Hybrid Administrator AssociateAzure File SyncAzure SentinelMigrating Hyper-V VMs to AzureRecorded July 5, 2022

Getting Hybrid Certified with Orin Thomas

As most newly minted technology pros gravitate toward the latest and coolest programming languages and projects, serious questions arise about who will maintain those legacy IT systems (including Active Directory implementations) that are still in use by many institutions worldwide. In this session, Sean Deuby talks with Orin Thomas, Microsoft Principal Cloud Advocate, about this phenomenon (which he calls the "COBOL challenge"), how IT pros can beef up their Active Directory skills, and a preview of the forthcoming Microsoft Windows Server Hybrid Administrator Associate certification.

The COBOL Challenge: Who Will Maintain Legacy Systems? With Orin Thomas

Is the cloud really secure? Richard chats with Orin Thomas about his work developing a doctoral thesis on cloud security. Recognizing that security at this level is less about products and more about principles, Orin digs into thoughts around encryption, physical security, breach identification and more. Inevitably there are some references to particular tools like the Azure Key Vault, but the challenge is in evaluating a technology in the context of a broader principle. Lots of great thinking about security!
