Hello, I'm   Jason

As time has passed, I’ve been considering “cord cutting” and cancelling our DirecTV service. There’s more and more compelling services available and we’ve been finding ourselves only watching locals, sports, weather, and, during Christmas, Hallmark. My last DirecTV bill was over $200 and included $46 in equipment services (DVR, protection plan, and receivers), $100 for the base plan, $27 for regional sports, and $49 for Sunday Ticket. Even if I no longer subscribe to the Sunday Ticket, I’m still at $176.91. In addition, I found out that our DirecTV service was increasing in cost.

Earlier today at Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft had announced a brand new technology called Azure Arc. Azure Arc allows you to take any Azure service deployable to any Kubernetes end point. This includes, but is not limited to deploying Azure SQL and Azure App Services to HPE Greenlink, Amazon AWS, or Google Cloud Platform. This allows a unified multi-cloud, multi-environment offering that can be managed from the same portal.
