The Ops Team #003 - "The Egg"

The Ops Team is a new weekly show where 4 Technical Evangelists specializing in IT Operations get together to give you the deets on their 4 areas of expertise: Microsoft Azure/Cloud, On-premises datacenter technologies, Enterprise Mobility / Windows and DevOps. 

This week on The Ops Team, Simon makes us all jealous talking about the phenomenal new Surface Book and Surface Pro 4 devices along with new announcements surrounding Azure Active Directory Domain Services. Matt brings you up to speed with new announcements around the Cloud Platform System, Virtual Machine Manager UR8 and a new Container management UI from the community. Rick gives us the gossip on the new Azure DevTest labs, along with insight into his trip to the DEVintersection 2015 conference. Finally, David wraps up talking about load testing for your apps using cloud-based services!

Apologies for the audio quality for Simon and Rick's segments - It'll be all fixed for next time folks, honest!
