[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!

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  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 Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure.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...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

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...

Azure Well-Architected AI workload Assessment

  AI is everywhere, part of the IT solutions we build and run today. Having an AI service, a good model, and data is not enough. As for cloud, the real difference is how we build, manage and run the whole solution. Microsoft created the Azure Well-Architected Framework for AI Workloads exactly for this reason — to help teams design AI systems that are reliable, secure, and cost-efficient. The assessment has six main categories that we cover in the next section. Based on the results, we can gain a good understanding of the current AI workload estate and a list of actions to improve how you run and manage your AI workloads . Designing the AI Application The first step in building your AI application is to consider how you will structure it. Using containers for tasks like data processing or model inference helps maintain consistency across the system. This approach makes it easier to update, move, and manage different components. When you have multiple steps in your workflow, such as...
