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 :(

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(...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

By
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)

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...
