First community interview of 2025! Come learn more about people who make a difference in the channel.
Often overlooked but how you invoice Azure to your clients can make a big difference in how profitable you are. I'll skim across a few options that have had some success among partners. #neoncobra
On my first Old Fashioned and trying to finish Wind and Truth.
I'm going to break down some best practices and ways to Leverage Azure Budgets to ensure you're not stuck with an unexpected invoice. #Azure #MSP #NeonCobra
youtube.com/@neoncobra-a... been at it for a year. It’s channel centric so I’m just working on growing reach. Weekly snapshots and tidbits that MSPs should investigate. This year going more in depth with walkthroughs as I saw a lot of use out of my Arc ESU vid.
Getting more exposure to my MSP centric Azure channel. I’m diving more into specific tools and tricks for the Service provider community to help adopt Azure in a profitable and reduced risk way.

A quick snapshot on what’s to come. I touch on what worked, what I intend to do about it and what to expect over the next year with Neon Cobra.
2019 apparently. I have no emails or records from Facebook at that time. Pretty sure I had shut down my account and only re-opened it years later.
Anyone ever had to appeal a locked Facebook account for business? Apparently my personal account was blocked from purchasing Ads in 2019 (pretty sure I closed my account for a while at that time) and now I can’t do anything. Appeal is blocked out and there’s no support contact.
Finishing off the year thanking the people that got me here. Here’s to another year of growth! youtu.be/wllFabnUdgI?...
I’ve been waiting for Chess 2 for years. Thought it was vaporware.
I had a friend from Texas ship me $150 in books. Paid for shipping and customs. USPS still hit me with another $120 on entry to Canada. I may as well have paid for them new on Amazon at that point.
A cool thing about it too is if you’re not constantly running data pipelines you can pause your fabric consumption, essentially lowering the cost beyond the reservations. It does take some close monitoring but can be a very cost effective solution. Msft is very much driving to this product line.
My printer will forever be USB only. I don’t need to troubleshoot my printer every 6 months when I need to print something for the kids.
This week I dive into how to purchase the Subscription Visual Studio offerings. If you're coming from traditional perpetual licensing it's not immediately clear how to capture the margin when reselling to your clients. Spoiler Alert: It's an Azure plan!
I'll cover how it looks in CSP.
Is anyone else finding LinkedIn a very difficult and almost a useless platform to make any meaningful reach and impact? I know that can be a very arbitrary statement but I look at what is on my feed constantly and have a hard time finding things that aren’t “business influencers”.
Getting more questions about Fabric now that the Tenant wide premium SKUs were deprecated. I’ll help you navigate it in under 5 minutes. youtu.be/d3GSL9kLl4A?...
Zip ties: the ultimate hacker tool.
This weeks video is my snapshot of ignite and highlight of services I think MSPs should keep their eyes on. Check it out. youtu.be/V1DMkCgoa60?...
While not my most viewed video it’s one with the most “meat” on the bones. Find out how to use Azure Arc to extend ESUs to your aged Windows Servers, including licensing requirements. youtu.be/cISkEJsCOlY?...
Great way to connect. Seeing some familiar faces and a lot of new connections. I predominantly focus on azure infrastructure for SMB/SMC in our CSP ecosystems. Looking forward to continued inspirations.
