OpenStack will always be my first love! I started my cloud journey with OpenStack Cloud. I went on to become one of the top contributors for its Messaging and Notification Service called Zaqar. There was no looking back, I have been passionate about the cloud since then.
After graduating from UT Arlington, I kick-started my career in the US, working for the very best in the Airline Industry — American Airlines, Inc. I got to learn a lot of Azure from experienced architects and co-workers in my team. I have been honestly very satisfied with all the services Azure offered. I was indeed surprised when their Azure leads and managers were so keen on solving the issues I faced and even proactively replied to my questions on Twitter, rest assured there are here to help their customers.
This blog post is primarily dedicated to folks interested in making a transition from OpenStack to Azure. The transition was not as daunting for me as I predicted. This would primarily be a 101 post where I would be jotting all the key points which were helpful for me to make a shift from OpenStack to Azure.
OpenStack is open-source software for creating public and private clouds. Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud computing services that gives you the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive, global network using your preferred tools and frameworks.
