In this episode of the TechCentral podcast, we chat to Microsoft chief innovation officer Clifford de Wit about all things cloud, including the company's investment into two Azure data centres in South Africa.

What are Microsoft's data centres going to offer exactly? And what do you developers need to know? Listen in, too, as De Wit talks about Microsoft culture, how it's changed, and how that's helped the company pivot in a new direction with relative ease, despite its size.
