Day 4 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
Astazi a fost ultima zi a TechEd Europe 2012. Ca orice ultima zi a trecut extrem de repede dar a fost plina de continut de specialitate. Haideti sa vedem la ce sesiuni am fost astazi.
Am inceput ziua asa cum se cuvine, cu o sesiune de async calls pentru .NET 4.5 - "Async made simple in Windows 8, with C# and VB". Pot sa va spun ca am savurat aceasta prezentare, nu din cauza ca era vorba despre async, ci din cauza ca odata la 2-3 minute aflai ceva noi. Desi pana acuma am folosit async, am aflat destul de multe lucruri noi in cadrul acestei sesiuni pe care nu le stiam pana acuma.
Urmatoarea pe lista a fost "Achieving Enterprise Integration Patters with Windows Azure Service Bus". A fost o sesiune la fel de interesata ca si prima, iar la cum se anunta lucrurile Service Bus-ul din Azure devine din ce in ce mai serios. Nu mai este o jucarie.
A treia sesiune din ziua de azi a fost "Building High Performing Parallel Application Services on Windows Azure". Aveam alte asteptari de la aceasta sesiune, a fost destul de seaca, iar continutul nu a fost la cea ce ma asteptam din pacate.
TechEd-ul l-am terminat cu "Developing High Performing Parallel Application Services on Windows Azure". Se pot face lucruri foarte frumoase pe Windows Azure, mai ales cand vorbim de simulari si de analize date, sper sa am ocazie sa lucrez vreodata la un simulator care isi face partea computationala in cloud.
Primele doua prezentari din acesta zi au fost cireara de pe tort de la tot TechEd-ul pentru mine. Doar pentru aceste doua prezentari merita un drum in Amsterdam.
Hot tip of the day: In aceata zi este despre Service Bus si SharePoint. Se zvoneste prin Amsterdam ca urmatoarea versiune de SharePoint o sa foloseasca pe partea de workflow (in zona de session state) Service Bus. O sa revin cu un post pe aceasta tema cat de curand.
Si bonus, pentru cei care au Windows Phone 7+, daca tineti timp de 5 secunde butonul de lock cand acesta este blocat, camera video se porneste automat.
La revedere Amsterdam, la revedere TechEd Europe 2012. Ne vedem anul viitor.

    Nice :)
    Cat despre WP7, probabil depinde de producator - daca apas 5s butonul de lock face shutdown la mine - pentru camera video e suficient sa apas mai mult butonul dedicat din dreapta si porneste, chiar daca e in lock mode..

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

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 ...

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...
