In this episode Felipe and Mike talk about the evolution of the Data Warehouse to what is called a Data Lakehouse. 

What is it? 

Should every organization adopt it? Why?

What are the technologies involved?

And we ended up opening a Pandora's Box for following episodes.

In this episode Mike and Felipe will share some of their learnings in the early days of Cloud Adoption, what has gone well and not so well. 

Those learnings are not exclusive to Microsoft Azure implementations, you will see the same challenges in any cloud project. Microsoft has come up with a Framework to accelerate proper cloud adoption called Cloud Adoption Framework and we will also cover what you should watch for.

Github Repo for the Cloud Adoption Framework: GitHub - microsoft/CloudAdoptionFramework: Code samples and extended documentation to support the guidance provided in the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework
