Webinar review of: Azure Cloud & You: First Steps for the DBA by John Morehouse on 8/7/2019. Morehouse is a consultant with Denny Cherry & Associates Consulting and leader of the Louisville SQL Server / Power BI user group.
The description of the webinar states: “Azure offers up a new world of possibilities for DBAs and we should all strive to learn it…. We will stand up a new Azure virtual machine as well as setup a SQLDB.”
The webinar started out by Morehouse stating “There is no cloud. It’s just someone else’s computer!”. Morehouse then went over details of some wide ranging Microsoft Azure Cloud topics.
