Callon Campbell awarded 2024-2025 Microsoft MVP in Azure (Cloud Native)

I received an exciting email from Microsoft this month that I was re-awarded for the 7th year for the 2024 – 2025 Microsoft Most Valuable (MVP) award in Azure (Cloud Native). Receiving the Microsoft MVP award is both a humbling and exciting experience. It means you’re a member of a select group of experts of just over 3,000 MVPs from around the world. Still, I like to think of it as doing something I’m passionate about with other like-minded individuals, having fun and always having something new to learn and share with the community.

“The Microsoft MVP Award is an annual award that recognizes exceptional technology community leaders worldwide who actively share their high-quality, real-world expertise with users and Microsoft. All of us at Microsoft recognize and appreciate Callon’s extraordinary contributions and want to take this opportunity to share our appreciation with you.” – The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award Team Microsoft Corporation

If you’re interested in learning about the Microsoft MVP program and seeing what it takes to become a Microsoft MVP, or how to get awarded, I encourage you to take a look at the Microsoft MVP website and also the following article on “How to become a Microsoft MVP” where they explain some of the details of the program.

To wrap up this post I would like to congratulate all the other newly awarded or renewed Microsoft MVPs all over the world! You truly are an amazing community and I’m truly humbled and honoured to be part of this group.

Enjoy!

Microsoft Azure now allows free egress of data transfer out to the internet when leaving Azure

Unknown's avatar on March 15, 2024

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that it would follow suit with Google and Amazon in eliminating Azure egress fees. The following outlines Azure’s commitment to customer choice and details the process for transferring data out of Azure with financial incentives.

Free Egress Offer

Azure now provides free data egress for customers leaving Azure, allowing them to transfer their data to another cloud provider or on-premises data center without incurring internet fees.

Eligibility and Process

The first 100GB/month is free globally. For additional data transfer, customers must contact Azure Support and follow specific instructions to be eligible for the credit.

Data Transfer Credit

Once the data transfer is complete and all associated Azure subscriptions are cancelled, Azure Support will apply the credit.

Compliance with Data Act

This policy aligns with the European Data Act and is available to all Azure customers worldwide.

This month I received an exciting email from Microsoft that I was re-awarded for a fourth year now for the 2022 – 2023 Microsoft Most Valuable (MVP) award in Azure. Receiving the Microsoft MVP award is both a humbling and exciting experience. It means you’re a member of a select group of experts of just over 3,000 MVPs from around the world, but I like to think of it as doing something I’m passionate about with other like-minded individuals, having fun and always having something new to learn and share with the community.

Since becoming a Microsoft MVP, I’ve learned a lot about the community and continued to share my passion, knowledge and experience within the community around Architecture and Development in Azure, Serverless, API Management, and DevOps technologies. I also keep a keen eye on what’s happening on the data technologies like Cosmos DB, Azure SQL, Synapse, and Purview.
