Day 1 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
In aceasta saptamana particip la TechEd Europe. 2012 este primul an cand TechEd se tine in Amsterdam. Locatia aleasa este Amsterdam RAI, un centru de conferinte destul de mare. In unele cazuri iti poate lua si 20 de minunte ca sa ajungi de la o sesiune la alta, iar chiar si cu harta in mana de poti pierde pe holuri.

Haideti sa vedem la ce sesiuni am fost azi. Am inceput cu keynote-ul unde ni s-au prezentat ultimele produse in care Microsoft pompeaza resurse la greu, in special Windows 8 si Azure. Dupa acesta introducere am fost la "Meet the Windows Azure". A fost un overview despre noua versiune de Windows Azure si ce aduce nou. Cel mai importat lucru pentru mine din cadrul acestei sesiuni a fost memory cache-ul, care lipsea pana acuma si modul in care se pot atasa partii virtuale la o masina.
A treia prezentare a fost despre Visual Studio 2012. Mi s-a parut cea ma buna sesiune din ziua de azi la care am participat. De ce? A fost singura sesiune la care am invatat lucuri noi si foarte interesante. Am continuat cu "An Overview of Managing Applications, Services & Virtul Machines in Windows Azure", unde nu am apucat deloc sa ma plictisesc. Am continuat cu Windows Azure, a.i. ultima sesiune pe ziua de azi la care am participat a fost "Cloud-Ready Data Services".
Hot tip of the day: Cei de la Nokia au anuntat ca cea mai mare parte din modele cu Windows  Phone 7 o sa suporte si Windows Phone 8 (seria Lumia si se pare si 610). Asa ca putem sa stam linistiti, strategia lor de marketing ne pune intr-un loc sigur.
A fost o zi extrem de interesanta si imi doresc sa vad asa ceva si in Romania. Ne auzim maine seara.

    Cei de la HTC nu au zis nimic de upgrade-ul la WP 8? :) (nu WP 7.8)

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

By
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. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(...

Navigating Cloud Strategy after Azure Central US Region Outage

By
 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 provi...
