                    A lot happened in the past year. Here are five highlights.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    Two big trends: Microsoft becomes the hybrid cloud leader, container wars turn bloody.

                    Public cloud computing costs more than do-it-yourself datacenters. Except when it doesn't.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    IoT is here, but isn't yet well developed. Before jumping in, consider carefully what's available now and what your goals are for the future.

                    Cloud-native architecture can be complex and confusing. Here's a  roadmap to help you get started.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    It's the first official roadmap Microsoft has published for the product.

                    Year-over-year growth is strong, while license revenue lags.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    It's clear that Europe is no longer VMworld's "little sister" show.
                    
		            
                
                    
                    
                    
                 
            
                
	                 
                    
                                        
		            
                    It's the only new version that retains the processor-based licensing model.
