Not too long ago the compute and storage options in Azure were fairly limited Cloud Services for compute and tables, blobs, or SQL Database for storage. It was easy! Those days are long gone. Today there are multiple options on where to host the compute and storage for your applications. There are pros and cons to every option. In this interactive session we will explore a few scenarios derived from real-world projects. We will evaluate the pros and cons of various compute and storage options. In the end, we will look at the choices the project owners made, and discuss if those were the right choices, or not.
