need to focus on this platform if you become an MSP in future. You
will get to learn a lot about App Development and starting on
Windows 8 is the easiest for the beginners as compared to other app
platforms like Windows Phone or Android. Windows Azure Champion
This activity involves REAL MONEY of any start up / technocrat you
are mentoring. Please be sure of what you are doing fully and get
to know what cloud actually is before getting into this task. We as
MSPs are fully committed to guide you in this task once you are
sure what you doing. Microsoft Virtual Academy Start today itself!
Getting to Top 10 would start getting hard as more and more people
will compete from different states to be in the leaderboard with
time.
24. Windows Azure Champion Appendix Each participant who
completes the Azure task (not you, but the participant whom you
would mentor) will be eligible for Windows Azure Champion title and
a certificate delivered online titling him/her as a Top Azure
Contributor. Cloud technologies are pretty new for people in India.
Most of the work in world has already been started to be outsourced
to the cloud. Increase awareness regarding cloud and make sure your
mentored person could get the most out of the cloud. A paid account
needs a credit card positively associated with the account. It
would be your responsibility to check that the consumption does not
overshoot the 50 USD mark. Every penny would be charged and billed
accordingly. Sign up for a free trial for Windows Azure (does not
require a credit card) to test personally what all you can do
before mentoring anyone else.
