This is the third episode of a mini Azure Stack Family series with Darren Small and Kenny Lowe.  We get stuck in to the Azure Stack portfolio and hybrid cloud and answer your questions.    

In this episode we discuss the imminent launch of Azure Stack HCI.  We talk about use cases with a focus on AKS.  Kenny delivers a great explanation of how to differentiate between Azure Stack Hub and Azure Stack HCI.  We clarify licensing and commercials for Azure Stack HCI as well as clarify what disconnected and connected mean when applying those terms to Azure Stack HCI and Hub.  Kenny shares his set up for testing Hub with ASDK and HCI with WS labs. Azure Arc of course takes up some of our discussion and we talk about the Microsoft & Dell Technologies Centre of Excellence in partnership with Bordonaro IT in Germany.
