Just ending week 4 of 2020 and we are off to a great year. Here are the news and updates of the week.
As our CEO Satya Nadella lays out case for Microsoft's intense focus on the cloud, he points at the 46 Billion IoT devices' opportunity, clarifying where Windows stands in and how Microsoft approaches the diverse and heterogeneous ecosystem that IoT is.
Microsoft also made some interesting announcements about a new datacenter as well as new big projects in the middle east where AI and IoT are front and center.
And if you have some time over the week end to get your hands dirty, check out some great projects released this week by our teams focused on connecting microcontrollers (Azure Spehere and ESP32) to Azure IoT.
Last but not least, catch up on latest IoT Show episodes and podcasts.
