Rich asked for help to run the cost evaluation today when Tony offered. Rich said we are ready for that. Tony committed to getting Calvin to run the long-discussed cost evaluation.
MS Success meeting update today: No new cost observations yet. This will be clearer with more testing and deployment in the new set-up as per Rich H.
Met with B&F on the CARS charges for Azure website hosting. Since it’s DEP-wide use, these costs will not need to come out of our budget. Still need to expedite the migration off of the expensive Azure VM’s to get costs down - set up weekly status meetings to track progress.
Rich working with Tony at Microsoft to set up meeting with Azure engineers to discuss what’s possible.
