Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. You joined Microsoft via the Deis acquisition. Let’s talk about some of the work you’ve been focused on since joining Microsoft.

Topic 3 - Working on hybrid environments is becoming more important. Let’s dig into how Microsoft is expanding the capabilities of the Open Service Broker.

Topic 4 - Help us understand what the Helm project and Draft project enable for developers.

Topic 5 - One of the most frequent questions we get is around Windows-based containers. When will they be available, and what is Microsoft doing to make them easier to use?
