Azure Weekly

Issue #356 - 22nd January 2022

A slightly quiet week, but there are a plethora of announcements around AKS and PostgreSQL. We published a long in gestation blog post about the concept of a Digital Asset Register, describe how to create a high level view of your digital assets (bespoke software, cloud services), where everything is measured equally and actionable insights can be generated, to help make invest, protect, tolerate, or retire decisions. It might be worth sharing this article with your IT Director / CTO / CIO. We find it an invaluable tool for helping orgs manage their IT investments, to optimise budget value and to help free up bandwidth for cloud transformation projects.
