Here are my thoughts on AI from #msignite 2026: Agents, agents, agents. While I personally doubt most organizations are using a lot of AI agents *today*, I wouldn't be surprised if we're just a year early on that front. I personally haven't used agents much yet, there's so much on the to-do list

As always, I spend the weeks after #msignite going through the Book of News to find interesting things that may have been missed. This week my @InfoWorld column looks at the launch of Azure Managed Redis, enterprise grade in-memory caching.

https://www.infoworld.com/article/3627839/enterprise-grade-caching-with-azure-managed-redis.html

Over at @InfoWorld I took a dive into Mark Russinovich's annual State of Azure presentation at #msignite. As always lots to think about, especially Microsoft's drive to a serverless future and what it means for data center sustainability.
