Top 20 most visited blog posts for IT Pros in 2021

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Microsoft Tech Community - Latest Blogs - .

From our first post on the 17th of September 2018, where Rick Claus introduced Microsoft's "Cloud Ops Advocate" team, we've published nearly 600 articles on this ITOps Talk blog!


To end the year, we wanted to highlight some of our most visited articles. Curiously, they weren't all written in 2021, with our second most popular article hailing from Oct 2018! This echoes the fact that IT Pros often work with technology for many years after it was released, and some of the fundamental tasks we do are just as relevant 3 years (or more) later.

So sit back and enjoy the articles that people visited the most on our blog in 2021. You might recognize a favorite or find a new one!

 

Note: All information was correct at time of publishing, but technology does change. If you find an article that is out-of-date, leave us a note in it's comment section and we'll get it updated!
