Quick note everyone! – A new series replacing this one, called Microsoft Networking Academy, is available here!
Happy 2017 everyone! After wrapping up the Fall 2016 season of Azure Networking Fridays, we're kicking off the 2017 Winter edition!
This hour long session will occur every other Friday this winter and spring. It is open to all customers and partners to learn more about Azure Networking, including ExpressRoute and Virtual Networking, and how to plan and design their connectivity to the Microsoft Cloud. As a team, we’ve decided to create two format for our Azure Networking Fridays series, the introductory and deep dive sessions, generally presented in alternance.
In both formats, there will be an open Q&A session at the end where customers can ask the experts. Content and partner speakers will vary for each session, but the general agenda is as follows :
Introductory sessions
- Azure Networking fundamentals (10 minutes)
- Deep dive topic of the week (15-20 minutes)
- Partner spotlight of the week (15-20 minutes)
- Q&A
Deep dive sessions
- Introduction (5 minutes)
- Deep dive topic of the week (35-45 minutes)
- Q&A (10 minutes)
We will post the agenda in advance on this blog, and to our interested viewers, you can join a distribution list by sending an email to gbb-anf@microsoft.com with the subject-line “Join Azure Networking Fridays List”. We will email you a reminder and the agenda in advance for the upcoming sessions.
We’re kicking off the winter edition series on Friday, January 20th, 2017.
