Day 1/30 — What Is Cloud Computing? | A beginner-friendly journey into Cloud Computing & Architecture.

I have started my AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate (SAA-C03) preparation. In Day 1, I learned about cloud computing, AWS Regions, Availability Zones, Edge Locations, high availability, scalability, and elasticity.

In this recorded Live! 360 session, Eric Boyd reflects on 15 years of Microsoft Azure—from its earliest days to today’s global cloud platform—and explains what those lessons mean as organizations move deeper into cloud-native architectures and AI-driven development. Blending personal stories, real outage lessons, and hands-on customer experience, Eric walks through Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) and shows why strategy, skills readiness, governance, and DevOps discipline matter more than ever. He also looks ahead at what’s next across compute, data, and AI—including confidential computing, the growing infrastructure demands of AI, and why data readiness is critical for building effective AI solutions. 🔑 What You’ll Learn • How Azure has evolved over 15 years—and what early failures taught us • Why many cloud and AI projects fail without a clear strategy and framework • How the Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) helps reduce risk and improve outcomes • Why DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code are essential in an AI-driven world • Azure security best practices: RBAC, managed identity, network isolation, encryption • How Azure’s global scale, regions, and availability zones support resilience • What’s next for cloud + AI: confidential computing, data platforms, and AI tooling ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Introduction + celebrating Azure at 15 04:20 Early web experience + first distributed systems lessons 09:45 First look at Azure and the Professional Developer Conference (PDC) era 13:30 Early Azure outages and reliability lessons 17:58 Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) overview 19:18 Strategy and planning: real customer examples 28:00 Ready phase: landing zones, naming, and governance 30:03 Adopt phase: DevOps, CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code 36:03 Security fundamentals in modern Azure 41:00 Azure scale then vs now: regions, zones, and monitoring 45:25 AI’s impact on cloud architecture 50:24 What’s next: confidential computing and AI infrastructure 55:10 Preparing for the future: data, AI tools, and learning paths 👤 Speaker: Eric Boyd Founder & CEO, Responsive X | Microsoft Azure MVP 🔗 Links • Download Visual Studio 2026: http://visualstudio.com/download • Explore more Live! 360 sessions: https://aka.ms/L360Orlando25 • Join upcoming VS Live! events: https://aka.ms/VSLiveEvents #Azure #CloudComputing #MicrosoftAzure #AI

In this post, I will explain how I have interpreted the Cloud Adoption Framework for Microsoft Azure and how I apply it with my company, Cloud Mechanix.

I'm going to explain why the Cloud Adoption Framework can offer answers to Azure - even for organisations that have been in The Cloud for years.

In this post, we discuss how following the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) and AWS Well-Architected Framework can help reduce these risks through proper implementation of AWS guidance and best practices while taking into consideration the practical challenges organizations face in implementing these best practices, including resource constraints, evaluating trade-offs and competing business priorities.

As cloud adoption increases, it becomes essential to secure data while adhering to different regulations through the use of privacy-preserving techniques.

An easy way to understand the AWS CAF and its goals.
