Azure Stack Shortcuts | aka.ms/AzureStack/Shortcuts

Shortcuts for learning about Azure Stack, shortcuts for training and certification, and just shortcuts to quickly find content on any topic on Azure Stack!

Learning Resources - fast track it

All of my Azure Stack Shortcuts start with aka.ms/AzureStack. Want to read more about what Azure Stack is? Goto aka.ms/AzureStack for the high level overviews or aka.ms/AzureStack/Hybrid for the complete whitepaper.  One of my favorite finds for learning is on Channel 9 called the Azure Stack Channel = aka.ms/AzureStack/Channel. At the last MS Ignite 2017, there were also about two dozen sessions on Azure Stack.  Find those at aka.ms/AzureStack/Ignite.

Also, for those parts of Azure that live in Azure Stack, you can see my aka.ms/Azure/Shortcuts page as well for lots of resources to assist.  At the core of it all, my IaaSOpsGuide will probably have the most usefulness for Azure Stack.  You can find that at aka.ms/Azure/IaaSOpsGuide.

I have now moved all of my learning resources now at aka.ms/Azure/Learn.

The Azure Stack Shortcuts!
