Performance Improvements in .NET 8 - .NET Blog
“For the last few years, I have looked forward to Stephen Toub's blog posts about performance improvements in .NET. It shows that performance is very important to the .NET team, and it's jaw dropping when you realize that this blog post will take HOURS to read. The blog post goes very in-depth, and you will learn many new things about .NET when reading it.”

Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure - Cloud Adoption Framework | Microsoft Learn
“It is the most comprehensive and tightly packed content library for Azure Cloud. Not only encapsulating technology and architecture topics but also addresses cultural and business best practices. It even covers well-known anti-patterns.
I use the Cloud Adoption Framework daily to explain "how to Cloud" to clients”.

Migrate SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL - Training | Microsoft Learn
“This Microsoft Learn content is a exhaustive and easy-to-understand guide that provides useful information for Fit & Gap analysis, migration planning (assessment), and migration methods for migrating SQL Server on on-premise environment to Azure. It also describes how to assess the database using Microsoft Data Migration Assistant and specific procedures for data migration, so I believe that this is a good content you should refer to when planning a migration.”
(In Japanese: Azureへオンプレミス環境のSQL Serverを移行するための Fit & Gap 分析に役立つ情報、および、移行計画(アセスメント)、移行方式に関する情報が網羅的に分かりやすくまとまっています。また、Microsoft Data Migration Assistant を使用したデータベース評価の仕方、および、データ移行などの具体的な手順が記載されており、移行計画を立てる際に是非参照したほうが良いコンテンツだと思います。)
