Day 3 of TechEd 2012 - Amsterdam

By
Si s-a terminat si ziua a treia a TechEd 2012. Dupa circa 3 ore petrecute in fiecare zi in Amsterdam RAI, oboseala incepe sa isi faca simtita prezenta. Aceasta a fost ultima zi intreaga. Maine fiind ultima zi, conferinta o sa se termine mult mai devreme.
Astazi am inceput ziua cu sesiunea "Learn Big Data Application Development on Windows Azure". Daca nu ati stiut pana acuma, pe Windows Azure exista si Hadoop, care ne permite sa procesam si sa analizam un volum foarte mare de date.
Dupa aceasta sesiune, mi-a fost dor sa vad putin cod, asa ca m-am dus la "Real World Developer Testing with Visual Studio 2012". A fost o sesiune unde nu s-au prezentat diferite framework-uri pentru a scrie teste. Chiar daca nu tinea de parte de dev, am participat si la sesiunea "Windows 8: BitLocker". S-a discutat despre aceasta noua functionalitate pe Windows 8, care ne permite sa ne luam pe un stick "PC-ul", iar apoi sa il putem rula de pe orice calculator, fara sa ne facem probleme de securitate sau ca putem sa pierdem date.
"Building HTTP Services with ASP.NET Web API" a fost una din sesiunile la care am participat. A fost prezentat Web API de pe ASP.NET destul de detaliat. As fi vrut sa aflu mai multe, dar asta o sa fac cu prima ocazie cand am putin timp liber si o sa sap. Desi a fost o prezentare de nivel 300, din pacate continutul a fost doar de 100.
Ziua de azi s-a sfarsit cu "Creating and Consuming OData Services for Business Applications". In momentul de fata OData Services este extrem de matur si puternic, dar aveti grija Web API vine tare din spate, dar nu o sa fie inlocuit cat de curand de Web API.
Hot tip of the day: In Visua Studio 2012, chiar daca unele functionalitati nu mai sunt asa de usor de accesat, de exemplu sa deschidem Source Control, toate acestea au key shortcuts deja definite.
Cel mai mult am savurat prima sesiune si am fost impresionat de ce putem face cu Hadoop pe Windows Azure. Maine ne luam la revedere de la TechEd 2012 si de la Amsterdam :(

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

By
  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...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

By
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 ...

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

By
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...
