[Post Events] Sept-Oct 2024

 In the last few weeks, I have been busy from the community's point of view. I had the great opportunity to participate in multiple conferences as a speaker.

  • DevTalks—The conference, which had over 2,200 attendees, took place in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on September 26th. I delivered a session about AI in the cloud and how we need to modernize our cloud solution to prepare for it - Reference Architecture of AI in the Cloud
  • All Day DevOps - The online conference that took place in the second week of October was around DevOps provided a great opportunity to learn more about automation, cloud and DevOps I had the chance to deliver a session regarding cloud and AI, and how we should prepare our cloud solutions for the AI workload. 
  • The Hack Summit—This conference, which took place on October 17th, was all about security and the tools related to it. I delivered talks about Cloud (re)patriation and Hybrid Cloud & Reference Architecture of AI in the Cloud.
  • Azure User Group Sweden - At the beginning of October, I joined the Azure Group from Sweden and had the chance to talk and deliver a session regarding security Secure Application Development inside Microsoft Azure
I had a lot of fun this week, and I really enjoyed being part of this event.

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 Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure.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