Re: AWS or Azure or GCP?
Hi AkshayHB-79 Linux won't be a barrier for you to learn Azure - we have great tools and support for Linux, and many of these Microsoft use ourselves to build some of the platform itself. Most examples give CLI and Powershell sample code. Powershell isn't required - there are many ways to get things done through the Azure CLI, APIs, through the Azure portal. BUT... PowerShell is a quite remarkable tool to have in your kitbag, I would highly recommend picking up some familiarity with PowerShell. Switching clouds... there are many fundamentals, theories, patterns and practices etc, of cloud computing that are true across all cloud environments. There are differences - particularly as you get into the platform-as-a-service offerings, security and compliance approaches... and of course pricing and licensing differences. As for AWS and GCP... let's just say that I think it is great to have strong competition to keep the whole industry innovating... but you've made a great choice by starting with Azure !1.5KViews0likes0CommentsRe: FastTrack Content Not Current
Hi Frank, Office mobile apps across iOS, Android and Windows do include editting functionality for Office 365 users. You do have to sign in with your Office 365 credentials on the device to enable this functionality. If you just download the apps from the relevant app store and sign in, you will see the view only experience. Here is a link to a detailed description of the specific features available: https://products.office.com/en-us/office-resources#ios-features-section I do agree that the "Any device" is a bit of puffery, and there are still system requirements - but for current iOS, Android and Windows devices, you should be seeing edit functionality.2.5KViews1like2CommentsRe: New update options for Office 365 ProPlus using System Center Configuration Manager
This is a pretty big deal. If you are on older versions of ConfigMgr, check out these scripts to improve the experience: https://github.com/OfficeDev/Office-IT-Pro-Deployment-Scripts/blob/master/Office-ProPlus-Deployment/Setup-CMOfficeDeployment/README_Setup-CMOfficeDeployment.md4.8KViews2likes2Comments
