Azure Talk is where we zoom out from “cloud as hosting” and talk about cloud as a platform — as the backbone of modern digital capability. We take all the chaotic product names, all the constantly-shifting service changes, and translate them into architectural clarity. Azure compute, networking, storage, PaaS services, serverless, containers, dev environments, integration services, identity and access, FinOps, governance, patterns for scale — this is the centre of gravity.
We don’t treat Azure as a shopping list of services. We treat Azure as a strategic operating model for the organisation. We explore platform landing zones, policy-driven guardrails, subscription design, identity boundary decisions, the difference between “cloud adoption” and “cloud engineering”, how to apply Zero Trust in a real tenant, how to integrate Azure with M365 and Power Platform, how to avoid creating cloud debt, and how to design for cost transparency instead of billing surprises. We talk about the discipline behind cloud — not just the convenience.
Azure Talk is also the place where we acknowledge the human shift inside cloud transformation. Architects need to think like product owners, operations teams need to think like automation engineers, developers need to think about resiliency and cost impacts, and business stakeholders need to understand that cloud success is not buying services — it is designing platforms. Cloud literacy is a capability, not a project.
Azure Talk is for the people that want to understand why and how to build on Azure — not just which service to click. If it runs code, hosts workloads, integrates systems, secures identity boundaries, operationalises platform strategy, or makes “cloud” real instead of theoretical — it lives in Azure Talk.
