The Surface Go for Developers
One Year as a Microsoft Cloud Developer Advocate
This week marked one year since I joined Microsoft as a Cloud Developer Advocate. I have been reflecting on this past year as I look forward to our third Summit (#1, #2 [above]) next week.
While many of my first experiences in computing and as a developer were with Microsoft platforms, and when I was young I imagined working for Microsoft one day, I never thought I’d come here to work on Linux, Open Source, Containers, Kubernetes and Go, or enjoy it as much as I have.

Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a serverless container platform that enables anyone to run one or more containers in Azure in seconds with a single CLI command or API call and be billed per second. Other features include the option to choose a restart policy that can ensure containers are automatically deleted upon completion (alternatively, you can delete them manually via the CLI, API or Portal) and a free subdomain for your instance under the azurecontainer.io domain.
ACI is typically a lower-level building block often used with higher-level platforms such as Kubernetes in the case of virtual-kubelet, or initiated via serverless event-driven workflows such as Azure Logic Apps(1).
