Azure Local Unleashed
My first book, write with Francesco Molfese, is a comprehensive, hands-on guide to designing, deploying and operating Azure Local as part of a modern hybrid strategy.
Azure Local Unleashed walks you through the full lifecycle of a hybrid infrastructure: from the architectural decisions that shape a resilient cluster, to deployment, day-2 operations, and integration with the broader Azure ecosystem.
Whether you are an IT pro modernising an on-premises datacenter or an architect designing a cloud-consistent platform, this book gives you the practical patterns, real-world lessons and step-by-step guidance to run Azure Local with confidence.
By the end of this book, IT leaders, architects, platform engineers, and cloud professionals will be able to evaluate when Azure Local is the right choice, design sustainable hybrid architectures, and operate distributed environments with confidence and control.
