#MSIgnite

On today's episode of the Microsoft Hybrid Cloud Partners Podcast, Adam Burke and Mike Hartman are joined by Fernando Peoples for a fast-paced recap of key insights from Microsoft Ignite. They discuss how Broadcom’s VMware licensing changes are pushing partners to seek a clear modernization roadmap and how Microsoft’s adaptive cloud approach across Azure Native, Azure Local, and Azure Arc supports that journey. The conversation highlights opportunities to move from SPLA to CSP, unlock value through Cloud Ascent, and leverage Azure migration investments, all framed through the Three Horizons model that helps partners strengthen current offerings, adopt AI and Copilot, and build toward long-term cloud-focused growth.
