    Ladies and Gents, What this teacher does is called "problem teaching". He states a problem, a question and then continues to explore possible answers/solutions. That in my opinion is the best way to understand the topic and to learn it. Follow his example if you teach. Two minutes spent on Savill's course is worth 20 minutes spent on other courses on YouTube in the Azure territory, where the "teachers" speak a language similar to English yet not easily understandable plus the "course" is a demo of the presentator's knowledge not an attempt to teach anything. Thanks, John.

    We are in the beginning stages of implementing this. At the beginning of this video you mentioned you were hesitant to cover this since "Microsoft's documentation is so good". Just know that these videos make it 10x easier to learn and understand this stuff. The video format is much more helpful than technets, and everything is consolidated into one place. You are my goto when I need to learn anything Azure. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

    I'm a simple guy: I see the great new video from John, I press like :)
  • Really good tutorial as always John! I especially liked how you went from the blackboard to showing its implementation using Blueprints. Always easier to understand stuff when you see how to implement them. Thanks!

    I'm amazed by how wonderfully you manage to explain things that I spend days trying to understand using various videos and documentations, without much success, in a succinct and logical way. Thank you so much for making this video! Sure there's a bunch of documentation (which I've read but i still didn't understand it as well as i do now) but the way you voice out the relationships between different components and the "why" and "how" of the problem and the solution for it, is exactly what I need. Some things might be assumed as common knowledge in the documentations, and when you're a newbie like me it's not obvious what is being assumed and where to learn about it, you explain everything so clearly, which i love about all your videos and it's an absolute life saver and frustration reducer for me. Again thanks a lot for making this video!

    WOW mate! Amazing! You are awesome! The way you just broke that down and how you described something that comes across as soo complicated in the documentation in such simple words was very impressive. You've got a new subscriber. Keep up the fantastic work! Its much appreciated.
  • You made it sound as easy as ABC , i'm even more amazed by your teaching skills ( as you said , architectures may look scary but you break it down into easily understandable parts)
  • Awesome, Simple, and Clear explanations. I admire your teaching skills and making landing zones as simple as they can be :-).
  • Just want to say thank you for all your videos. As a newly promoted Architect your videos are invaluable!
