I like it! It's a good reminder what we've seen in the last 12 weeks too in case we miss a weekly or a new project has come up in the mean time

discovered your channel like a week ago and have been watching so many videos of yours since. Keep doing what you do please! As a newcomer into IT and cloud in general, this content has been so valuable and entertaining to watch. I start my first IT gig Monday and hope to be doing cloud oriented stuff ASAP. much love!

I enjoy the weekly updates and indeed incorporate them into my weekly regiment. It's always super helpful as I don't always have the chance to dive in and read the notifications from Microsoft as they come. I waffled back and fourth on the quarterly idea but I do like it. There were some things I had forgot about and perhaps somethings I simply missed. A nice refresher.

39:25 Hi John - I thought Public Cloud was supposed to be scale on demand? Capacity reservations (which were previously allocated to an account by default) you can now pay for that - is that a step forward or a step backwards? Seems to me like there's a scale issue within a region if you have to do that. The marketing people must just love giving us that 'choice'. Totally get you have nothing to do with the decision and keep up the good work.

Excellent content! As usual. Do you have any content on tenant to tenant migrations or any links on good info around that?
