About Me
Session Info
In this session we will do a deep dive into
publishing content from SharePoint lists to
an external database to allow for a
centralized area where content can be
pushed into from where it can be displayed
on the publicly facing website

1. Background -The Premise
1. You have, or will have O365
and SP Online as your intranet

2. You have some sort of public

facing website (On O365)

3. You may (Or may not) have

an Azure Subscription

4. The March 2017 deadline is

relevant (or this is just cool)
2. Cost (Azure)
Since your website isn’t free
anymore, what will it actually
cost?

Azure is instance based, so you

are really just instantiating VMs
with or without IIS.

But what do those numbers

Mean!?!
2. Cost (Azure) -What you get
Free – No custom domains
Shared – Note 500 user limit
Basic – Well, Basic
Standard – Production
Premium – Production
