Hopefully one day we will get back to some more on premise certifications.

For a long time, the classic hub-and-spoke architecture in Azure relied on Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs) running on Virtual Machines.
The Azure Virtual Network Routing Appliance (Public Preview) marks a shift back to what matters.

I am happy that technical Blog's can still grow quickly, when you find content that is not yet covered by AI.
Quickly growing to 4.5k search results in 28 days over the last few months. I only utilize a combination of social media to create visibility and contine my one posting per week strategy.
Thanks for everyone that continues to support me on this journey.
