Azure Weekly Issue 250: 10th November 2019

It's our 5th Anniversary! 250 issues young! I hope all those who attended Microsoft Ignite this week had a great time! There were a huge amount of announcements and updates from the conference, some highlights include:

One of our favourite announcements was the new What-If support in ARM templates. If you're interested in this preview feature, you can sign-up here.

Two highlights of Ignite for us was the session on OAM and dapr, and the session on CNAB & Porter (which we've been working on for the past few months - more on this soon!)
