Hello, World. Now What?
Alright. Here we are.
I set up a blog. That probably means I’ve hit some critical combination of caffeine, irritation, and impulse. Either that, or I got tired of screaming into the social media void and decided to scream into a more structured one.
Let’s get this out of the way: this blog is about cloud stuff — especially the kind that still smells like server rooms and the faint aroma of misconfigured SDN. We’re talking Azure Local, sovereign deployments, Azure Stack Hub, WAP, and multicloud strategies that don’t make you want to launch your laptop into the sea.
Because sometimes, the cloud has to land. Compliance doesn’t care about your CI/CD pipeline or how cool your dashboard looks in dark mode. Sometimes your app has to run in a rack, in a bunker, somewhere between a firewall and a legal department.
That’s where on-prem comes in.
Why “Hello, World”?
Because tradition. Because it’s what techies do. Also because it’s better than naming the first post Test123, which I definitely didn’t already do and delete. Shush.
This post is just the bootstrap. The real content comes next: hands-on guides, deployment war stories, rants, maybe even architectural diagrams that aren’t just cloud blobs with arrows and wishful thinking. Maybe even one that explains why VMs aren’t IaaS.
Stay tuned. Or don’t. Either way, I’ll be over here — poking at the edge of cloud and trying not to misconfigure NSGs. Again.
