[PostEvent] DevCamp - Azure in Cluj, Sibiu, Brasov, Oradea, Timisoara, Bucharest, Tg-Mures, 2015

Today was the last day of Azure DevCamps events. In the last 4 weeks community leaders from Romania in collaboration with Microsoft Romania were in a roadshow.
We were in cities like Bucharest, Oradea, Timisoara, Cluj, Sibiu, Brasov and we talk about Azure, Microsoft and tools that can make our life easier.
A special ‘Thank you’ to Microsoft (because they sustain this evens and made them possible) and to all community leaders that were involved:

  • Adrian Stoian
  • Alex Mag
  • Ciprian Jichici
  • Cosmin Tataru
  • Florin Loghiade
  • Mihai Tătăran
  • Radu Vunvulea
  • Razvan Rusu
  • Silviu Niculita
  • Tudor Damina (Tudy)


More than 200 people attended to this evens and discovered Azure world. At this events I talk about Azure features that are interesting for enterprise. Below you can find the abstract of the session and slides.
Title:       What's new in Azure from an enterprise perspective
Abstract:  Azure, like other cloud providers became a collections of more and more services every month. Big companies needs to go behind marketing slides and put on the radar services that can improve their current system and can be used in the next generation of their products. This session is dedicated to the big enterprises, that have thousands of servers, hundreds of thousands of devices and needs to handle dozens of terabytes. We will put under eyeglasses Azure Services that were built for this situations and can make a difference between a failure or a real success.

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...

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

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)

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 ...
