It is Techtober and we're fundraising for Girls Who Code. Go to https://give.girlswhocode.com/msclouditpro and donate today to help ensure girls continue to have access to our educational experiences, programming, and incredible sisterhood. Because when you teach a girl to code, she’ll change the world.

In Episode 303, Ben and Scott run through some pre-Ignite service retirement announcements for Unmanaged Disks and Azure Load Balancer Basic. Then they get into Microsoft Viva and do a quick review of some of the new features announced at Power Platform Conference.
