[Post Event] Microsoft Summit 2014, Bucharest, Romania, 12-13 November

This week I had the opportunity to participate at Microsoft Summit, which was held in Bucharest. This was the second edition of this event and more than 1500 IT specialist participate to this event. We could say that for two days, Bucharest was center of Microsoft technologies and IT trends.
There were a lot speakers from all around the world, from USA to Germany or UK. Speakers like Don Grantham or David Chappell were at Microsoft Summit. From my opinion, I think that people enjoyed the session hold by D. Chappell, Andy Malone and Paula Januszkiewicz.
There were 6 tracks in parallel, were sessions dedicated to Business Managers, IT Professional and Developers were held. I had the opportunity to present to talk about “The Internet Of Things” and “Microsoft Azure – A place for Dev/Test/Int Environments”. In the first session I talk about Azure and how we can use it to create a bridge between devices and our backend. In the second session I talk about how we can create different environments using Azure. People had the opportunity to discover how easily is to create a new environment on a cloud platform and why web sites and slots are the dream of any web developer.  At the end of session we discover the power of Visual Studio Online.
A special Thank You to Microsoft Romania for this event and for all sponsors and attendees because they are the one that made this event possible.

See you next year!

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class.

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

 Looking back, July 19, 2024, was challenging for customers using Microsoft Azure or Windows machines. Two major outages affected customers using CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Azure computation resources in the Central US. These two outages affected many people and put many businesses on pause for a few hours or even days. The overlap of these two issues was a nightmare for travellers. In addition to blue screens in the airport terminals, they could not get additional information from the airport website, airline personnel, or the support line because they were affected by the outage in the Central US region or the CrowdStrike outage.   But what happened in reality? A faulty CrowdStrike update affected Windows computers globally, from airports and healthcare to small businesses, affecting over 8.5m computers. Even if the Falson Sensor software defect was identified and a fix deployed shortly after, the recovery took longer. In parallel with CrowdStrike, Microsoft provided a too
