Thanks @kristopherleslie8343 :) These are REALLY hard to put together, though I will likely put one out using Windows 365 in the next 12 months. Thanks for the idea!
Your videos are just insanely awesome. I know you don't have a ton of subscribers, and even this video only has ~6,000 views, but I'm not kidding when I say that if any legacy IT manager wanted to know more about cloud, your video series is the first place I would point them forward. Forget CBT Nuggets or anything else. The videos you make about this are just so spot-on and so valuable. Thanks so much for making them.
Hi Wayne. Great video. You mention shutting down the Azure environment once all applications are moved to SAAS. Is there no benefit in your eyes to continuing to run the Windows virtual desktops?
GOOD CATCH!! :) And great point. You are touching on something I am planning to make a video about in the next 2 months: the concept of a company "handing out" company virtual desktops using Windows Virtual Desktop technology, ,and then the employee can use whatever device they want. In the scenario I made the video about, the virtual desktop just enabled the legacy app to become cloud-based, but the company still provided a traditional desktop or laptop...which is 99% of the cases today. But, to your point - I totally agree, company provided virtual desktops with employees using their preferred personal computer (or tablet with a keybaord) is the future, and I fully plan to make a video about that in the next 60 days. Great point Jesse and thanks for commenting!
hey Rob, it's Will from Xerillion. I'll send you an email on this info with the Meraki firewall appliance/licensing cost and the monthly cost in Azure.
Lots of apps are low overhead for compute. What about those types of applications (AutoDesk, Revit, Lumion, etc.) that require ultra fast single core speeds, lots of graphics horsepower and over 32 GB RAM to function best? Are there issues running those types of AEC applications on a cloud VM?
Wayne: Any particular reason why you use Meraki to Meraki? I am not familar with Meraki but i assume this is just for STS VPN connectivity. Are you doing anything else with the virtual firewall on the Azure side (filtering, etc)
Meraki is our networking equipment partner., and it is a great compliment to a cloud system, as it is cloud-managed networking equipment. We are also partnered with Watchguard and they also make a good virtual appliance in Azure, but we prefer to use Meraki in our solutions. That being said, if you don't use that, you can connect to the Azure network by VPN without a firewall, though we prefer to have a firewall in front of a client's Azure VNET. We treat it just like we would a branch office network.
26:10 Psssh if you think that is bad you should see Amazon's service offering. That service picker needs a tutorial for itself. Azure is so much simpler.

Praying we can get an updated version of your excellent modernization projects to Azure! These are timeless!

@@Xerillion my pleasure. I often refer to your video series for many people online at Facebook and Reddit in our IT crowds.

Thanks for the very kind words Alex 🙂
Incredible information. The real world scenarios you explain, as examples, are exactly what I experience with my clients. Well done Wayne.
Your videos are fantastic! Thank you for taking the time to put these together.
This is an amazing presentation and true eye-opening towards the cloud journey i must , you guys ROCK and thanks a ton.
This was really helpful. Thanks for putting this together!

@@Xerillion Thank you Wayne! As an aside, your videos are gold and I've recommended this one (and others) to a few folks. Keep it up please :).
Great video as always Wayne!
Can you share with me the cost of the Meraki firewall in Azure? Thank you.

@@williambooth8645 Thanks Will!

I cover this in the Windows Virtual Desktop Video. 👍
Outstanding video. Simply outstanding.
Your videos are impressive and helps me a lot.
This was Fantastic!
Is Average Latency (ms) East US of 339ms bad ???
West US is 410ms.
Yeah, this is really slow.
