Video contribution
In our video, Didier and I delve into the powerful world of the Microsoft Hybrid Cloud, revealing the capabilities of Extended Security Updates (ESU) enabled by Azure Arc.
We explore the seamless integration and security measures that you can use to easily acquire and deploy ESUs through Azure Arc. This feature not only ensures the protection of your end-of-support Windows 2012 or 2012 R2 servers but also strengthens your ability to effectively secure, govern, and protect them.
We hope you enjoy the video and can apply some of the tips in your own environment whenever the need arises.
Thank you for reading and watching! We’re thrilled to be once again part of this year’s Festive Tech Calendar, and we hope you enjoy all the content shared throughout December 2023.
Should you have any questions about Azure Arc or ESUs, feel free to reach out to us via our X handles: @wmatthyssen and @WorkingHardInIT.
Enjoy the viewing, take care, and have a wonderful holiday season!
