Festive Tech Calendar 2021: Battle for the Hybrid Cloud – The Christmas edition

The Festive Tech Calendar, is a great community initiative, setup by Gregor Suttie (aka Azure Greg) and Richard Hooper (aka Pixel Robots). It’s all about sharing knowledge and helping people to learn new things and improve their skillset throughout the festive month of December 2021. Each day of December, different content, ranging from video contributions and blog posts to live streams and hand-on-labs, will be shared by community people from all over the world.

This is really what community is all about, sharing knowledge and helping people learning new things and improving their skillset. This is truly by the communities, for the communities.

You can find all other videos, blog posts and other contributions at https://festivetechcalendar.com/ and the Festive Tech YouTube Channel.

You can also keep an eye on Twitter for the hashtags #festivetechcalendar2021 and #CloudFamily to stay up to date.

This year the Festive Tech Calendar Team is also raising money for the charity @girlswhocode, who have a huge international presence in hopes to inspire the next generation of girls. So if you want to donate to this very worthy charity you can do so directly via this JustGiving page.

Video contribution

Whit our video, Karel and myself want to give you some advice and help on how you can use Azure Arc-enabled servers in combination with Windows Admin Center to protect, manage and secure all your hybrid servers. We hope you enjoy it, and that you can apply some of the tips and features in your own hybrid our multi cloud environment later on.

In addition, I also already have written some blog posts related to Azure Arc or Windows Admin Center in the past, which you can read via the following links:

• Azure Tip: List all your Azure Arc-enabled servers together with your IaaS VMs in the Azure Portal
• How to register Windows Admin Center with Azure

The video we made is available on the Festive Tech YouTube Channel or you can watch it directly from here.

Thanks for reading and watching, we are both very happy to be able to participate again to this years Festive Tech Calendar, and we hope you enjoy all the content shared throughout the month of December 2021.
