This week’s Hagrid goes to Darryl van der Peijl.

If you run anything Azure Local, you already know Darryl. He runs the community Azure Local Slack and the monthly Azure Local Insider newsletter — the connective tissue of this community, where people share what’s new, what’s broken, and what’s next. He’s a 12x Microsoft MVP and CTO at Splitbrain. He’s also the brains behind the Hybrid Platform Conference — a one-day Azure Local & hybrid cloud event in Amsterdam (Sept 28, 2026 at Hotel Casa), with a free virtual edition to follow.
