Simply drag, drop and configure cloud solutions visually and Cloud Maker takes care of the rest. Now Azure solutions can go from diagram to deployment in minutes not weeks, no-code required. Nick will show Cloud Maker creating an Azure solution diagram, and how easily it can be pieced together and deployed to Azure. Demo is around 10 minutes.
