Happy boy getting his butter melted on his steak. I got to know Alaa, when he was working in his home-country Israel; now working out of Redmond. Great friend \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nick Kiest, who is responsible for the DCR framework, had baked cookies for our meeting. Sweet\ud83d\ude4f. You killed it, Nick\ud83d\udc4f These cookies were filled with so much love (chocolate) and tasted so great \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Who would think that a meeting about Azure Workbooks could be a meeting with SO much laughing and joking. But it is all about the people, Principal Software Engineering Manager and Principal Product Manager for Azure Workbooks. You should all look out for the new things coming soon about Azure Workbooks. I will \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day 4 | Azure Files | Azure Identity| Cloud Security Customer Connect Program | Microsoft Sentinel | Azure Control Panel<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Such a pleasure to meet 11 PMs from Azure Files in a single meeting discussing feedback from my customers. Look out for great features coming. I’m really excited. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It was such a good experience to meet 8 PMs from Azure Identity product team (including more PMs in Teams call, unfortunately no picture). Cloud Identity is core with all cloud services, but we are in really good hands – and I’m really excited on both the recent announcements – but also what is coming. Stay tuned!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
So nice to meet almost all team members from the Cloud Security Customer Connection Program (community for private previews). We missed community lead, Kristina Quick. This group is doing such a amazing job managing meetings, escalating issues & questions and structuring all the feedback coming in from +1000 community members and +400 PMs. I’m really amazed how they can keep the hundreds of balls in the air without dropping them. They are rock stars ! So glad I could do lunch with them today.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It is always so nice to meet the PMs from Microsoft Sentinel Product team. Every day they are focused on delivering a world class SIEM product – and they deliver !!! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
On my way to building 40. Such a nice day with blue skies.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Great session, where Microsoft PMs from various teams wanted inspiration on how I do Azure Extension Management (add\/delete\/replace\/reinstall\/update) – including quality assurance to detect unhealthy devices.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
