Embark on a journey to the cloud as we unpack the subtleties of Azure migration with Microsoft's own Cloud Solution Architect, Kevin Evans. Discover the transformative power of Azure Migrate, a tool that not only paves the way for a smooth transition from on-premises infrastructure to Azure but also guides strategic decision-making with its indispensable discovery phase. Kevin dives deep, offering invaluable advice on sidestepping common pitfalls and emphasizing the benefits of starting migration projects on a smaller scale to harness the full potential of Azure portal's robust tools.
The conversation takes an intriguing twist when we tackle the complexities of moving legacy systems skyward—think updating the Windows NT relics and managing the shared responsibility model. As we navigate through these challenges, Kevin illuminates the unexpected boons of cloud migration, like enhanced inventory management and infrastructure optimization. Then, we switch gears to discuss my engagement with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and the excitement surrounding a nascent tech event in Western Canada. We wrap up with a reflection on the joys of nurturing curiosity and passion within the tech landscape, offering advice of inspiration for those looking for technology into a rewarding career.

We break down Blazor’s render modes in plain language. Server side rendering for instant first paint, streaming SSR for progressive content, interactive Server with SignalR for low latency, and Blazor WebAssembly when you want client side execution and near native speed. With the .NET 8 Blazor Web App template, you can pre render for speed, attach Server for responsiveness, and hydrate WASM in the background so returning visits feel instantaneous. If desktop or mobile is on the roadmap, Blazor Hybrid with .NET MAUI lets the same components run across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.
