The past couple of weeks have been extremely exciting for Azure Storage. We made several
announcements and received a lot of great feedback during the Build and Ignite conferences. During this time, members of our team gave plenty of talks regarding new offerings and best practices for using Azure Storage.
If you didn't get a chance to attend Build or Ignite this year, the following sessions may be of interest to you.
