Azure Mythbusters is a weekly Microsoft UK series where we take a look at a selection of 'myths' surrounding Microsoft Azure with the help of the UK Developer team. In this episode, we're tackling the myth that; 'As the Cloud is new, there are no clear architecture patterns'.

Using the cloud doesn’t need to be expensive. It is about finding the right service and the right cloud solution for the job. Chris Reddington and Will Eastbury from the FastTrack for Azure Team @ Microsoft are here to discuss this further.

People believe that moving to the cloud means you no longer need to worry about management processes, as Azure magically takes care of them all. Glen Small and Chris Reddington from the FastTrack for Azure Team @ Microsoft are here to share how your requirements will affect the management processes in the cloud. This is the fourth video in a series of post about Azure MythBusters.

In my spare time, I work on a pet project called Theatreers. The aim of this is a microservice based platform focused on Theatre / Musical Theatre (bringing a few of my passion areas together). I've recently re-architected the project to align to a multi-region serverless technology stack.

Consider this scenario. You are managing a software project using Azure DevOps, and you have multiple teams working towards a common cadence. Perhaps that cadence is managed by a central team. To gain the most value from your sprint planning, you would need to associate the iterations from the project level with each individual team. This is a scenario that I have for my fictitious Theatreers project, but also a scenario I encountered recently with a colleague. I have been helping them setup an Azure DevOps project to track the development of IP and collateral, so that they can more accurately forecast what they expect to land and show the value being delivered by the team.

Cloud Governance seems to have come up a few times over the past few weeks, so I wanted to post a short, sharp blog about it!

Scalability is one of the common areas where I have seen common misconceptions, when customers begin building on the platform.

In case you had not already heard, Logic Apps have now reached general availability on Azure (or read an MSDN article by Jeff Hollan on the topic).

When designing a solution, you want to be sure that your communications are secure and that your users can trust your application. Typically, SSL certificates can be useful for this purpose.That is well and good from a design and development perspective, but there may some management headaches when operating and governing the solution. How do you keep track of the certificates? How do you guarantee that they are kept secure? How do you ensure that certificates renew on time?
