Continuing with our virtual sessions, this week we are excited to host Sarah Lean, Cloud Advocate at Microsoft.

Moving your workloads to Azure can seem like a large project to undertake, there are key milestones and points through the project that are key to success. In this session, I share tips on how to make sure you address those milestones and share practical experience of a datacentre migration.
