Ignite is the premier customer-facing IT Pro conference for Microsoft. It coincides with Envision, the conference for thought leaders in IT.
At Ignite on the first day, we had a large slate of announcements, crossing from the public Azure cloud, to Azure stack, to SQL Server.
Here is the released link summarizing the cloud platform announcements: Cloud-platform-release-announcements-for-September-24-2018

As always, let me know if you have any questions, and I will be happy to help answer them, mostly via Twitter and LinkedIn.
