Before you ship an Azure solution to production, do you know if it’s truly ready? In this session, Jim Counts shares ten essential checks across security, reliability, and cost efficiency that separate mature cloud environments from the ones that break—or overspend—under real-world pressure.

You’ll learn how to validate identity and network protections, confirm that your workloads are resilient and observable, and spot the silent cost leaks that erode your cloud budget. Each check is drawn from real-world architecture reviews and delivery experience—designed to help teams build confidently and operate efficiently.
