A customer of mine has been working with a “FastTrack for Azure” engineer to help them:
- Manage & Monitor Azure services & VMs
- Secure & Govern Azure services & VMs
This has been such an phenomenal engagement, I decided to simply drop all the resources here that have been cited over the past 2 months for others to reference.
NOTE: “FastTrack for Azure” is a Microsoft-funded service for customers deploying $5K/mo in new Azure services that would like expert guidance. For any of my customers that are interested in engaging FastTrack for Azure engineers for direct remote guidance in deploying Azure Monitor & Azure Policy, please ping me directly.
