Episode 15 – Getting Started with Azure

In this episode Scott and I meander away from Office 365 into Azure.  You may or may not know you automatically get an AzureAD instance tied to an Azure subscription as soon as you sign up for Office 365.  There are also lots of additional ways Azure and Office 365 can work together allowing you to get even more out of Office 365.  So, in this episode we walk you through getting started with Azure so you can get started expanding the Microsoft Cloud capabilities within your organization.
