Episode 348 – You get a subscription, and you get a subscription, and you get a subscription!
24 augusti 2023 |
43 min
In Episode 348, Ben and Scott start the discussion focusing on the shifting dynamics of open-source tool access for customers, particularly in light of HashiCorp's decision to transition to a Business Source License (BSL). This move essentially limits what competitors can do with their code, requiring them to acquire a commercial license from HashiCorp if developing. While the change doesn't significantly impact customers who primarily use Terraform for deploying and managing resources, it may have significant implications for companies building competitive services based on HashiCorp's community products.
As the discussion progresses, Ben and Scott transition into an exploration of Azure subscriptions. They suggested that businesses, especially those in their early stages, should create more Azure subscriptions than they think they need. This is due to a paradigm shift from treating resource groups as units of management aligned with business needs to viewing subscriptions in the same way. The conversation emphasized the importance of understanding this concept and planning accordingly when setting up Azure.

Episode 345 – Microsoft 365 Backup and Microsoft 365 Archive
3 augusti 2023 |
38 min
In episode 345, Ben and Scott discuss the upcoming Microsoft 365 Backup and Microsoft 365 Archive services, as well as the pricing and value of Microsoft Co-Pilot. Microsoft 365 backup and Microsoft 365 archive services will provide users with options for backing up data in Microsoft 365, including SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange. They also discuss the benefits this will have on purchasing backup service directly from Microsoft, as well as how third-party backup providers can take advantage of this announcement.
They also discuss how Microsoft 365 Archive, will complement Microsoft 365 Backup by offering cold to cool data storage for inactive data in Microsoft 365. This service aims to provide cost savings for storing older content while maintaining administrative search capabilities and other functionalities.
The conversation then moves on to the pricing and value of Microsoft Co-Pilot. They discuss the potential benefits of using Co-Pilot for tasks like drafting proposals or generating meeting notes. However, they also express concerns about the pricing compared to existing licensing models and whether the value delivered by Co-Pilot justifies the cost. They speculate on how organizations might justify the expense based on time savings and productivity gains. Overall, they express a mix of excitement and skepticism about Copilot and emphasize the need to see it in action before fully evaluating the value.

Episode 261 – Disconnecting from Tech
23 december 2021 |
23 min
Episode 1 of this podcast was published on April 20, 2017. We've been recording and publishing weekly for almost 5 years. In that time, we've had the opportunity to talk to you about everything from Office 365 (when it was still called that) to Azure IaaS and PaaS services. Our focus has always been on the Microsoft cloud and providing you with news, tips, tricks, and deep dives on how you can leverage these technologies in your professions.
Your feedback to us over the years has been invaluable in shaping the show and the types of content we deliver. Please keep it coming. You can connect with us on Discord (sign up for the newsletter to find out how!), Twitter, Facebook, and of course follow along in your podcatcher of choice.
With all that being said, in Episode 261, Ben and Scott take a break from tech and talk about some of their favorite non-tech related finds from the past year, including books, TV shows, outdoor activities around the holidays, and some resources for great recipes. We hope you have a chance to disconnect and relax as we head into 2022.
