I work in Operations and infrastructure, I'm on a team that deals with the Azure platform (cloud & Hybrid). I'm a husband, a dad, a hockey fan, a gadget freak, and a geek. Always ready for a conversation (in English or français - naturellement).
Azure Infra Summit 2026 — the schedule is live. 3 days. Free. Virtual. May 19–21, 8 AM PT. L300–L400 only. Built by engineering, for engineering. Register + pick your sessions: aka.ms/MAIS-Schedul... #AzureInfraSummit #Azure #AKS #SRE #ITOps #Microsoft

Azure looks different when you carry the pager. Azure Infra Summit, May 19-21, 2026, focuses on what matters in real operations. More info: aka.ms/MAIS-Blog #Azure #ReliabilityEngineering #itpro
