Day 1 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
In aceasta saptamana particip la TechEd Europe. 2012 este primul an cand TechEd se tine in Amsterdam. Locatia aleasa este Amsterdam RAI, un centru de conferinte destul de mare. In unele cazuri iti poate lua si 20 de minunte ca sa ajungi de la o sesiune la alta, iar chiar si cu harta in mana de poti pierde pe holuri.

Haideti sa vedem la ce sesiuni am fost azi. Am inceput cu keynote-ul unde ni s-au prezentat ultimele produse in care Microsoft pompeaza resurse la greu, in special Windows 8 si Azure. Dupa acesta introducere am fost la "Meet the Windows Azure". A fost un overview despre noua versiune de Windows Azure si ce aduce nou. Cel mai importat lucru pentru mine din cadrul acestei sesiuni a fost memory cache-ul, care lipsea pana acuma si modul in care se pot atasa partii virtuale la o masina.
A treia prezentare a fost despre Visual Studio 2012. Mi s-a parut cea ma buna sesiune din ziua de azi la care am participat. De ce? A fost singura sesiune la care am invatat lucuri noi si foarte interesante. Am continuat cu "An Overview of Managing Applications, Services & Virtul Machines in Windows Azure", unde nu am apucat deloc sa ma plictisesc. Am continuat cu Windows Azure, a.i. ultima sesiune pe ziua de azi la care am participat a fost "Cloud-Ready Data Services".
Hot tip of the day: Cei de la Nokia au anuntat ca cea mai mare parte din modele cu Windows  Phone 7 o sa suporte si Windows Phone 8 (seria Lumia si se pare si 610). Asa ca putem sa stam linistiti, strategia lor de marketing ne pune intr-un loc sigur.
A fost o zi extrem de interesanta si imi doresc sa vad asa ceva si in Romania. Ne auzim maine seara.

    Cei de la HTC nu au zis nimic de upgrade-ul la WP 8? :) (nu WP 7.8)

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...
