Less than 1 week until Microsoft Ignite 2017

First time when I took part at Microsoft TechEd in 2012 in Amsterdam. It was one of my first conferences with more than 5k attendees. It was a wow, from all perspective. From then I participate to each TechEd and Microsoft Ignite.
At Microsoft Ignite, attendees have the opportunity not only to learn and discover new stuff, but also to meet people all around the globe. It is that week in the year when you can meet face to face Program Managers from Microsoft together with people that you talk over Twitter from Japan, Australia, UK and USA in only one place.

This year things will be a little different. It will be the first time when I participate at Microsoft Ignite not as attendee, but also as speaker. It is a joy to be invited to speak at a conference with more than 23000 attendees. If this is not enough, I will have 3 sessions where I will share my knowledge and experience related to IoT, security and NoSQL. If you want to find more about this subjects feel free to join my sessions - https://myignite.microsoft.com/speaker/225150 

Even if you are joining my session or not, if you are coming to Microsoft Ignite, give me a ping and let us meet and have a talk.

Here’s more you can expect from Microsoft Ignite:

  • Go in depth with over 40 pre-day sessions to choose from, including Microsoft Azure, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, Windows, and much more
  • Learn about the future of tech in Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s keynote
  • Meet up with colleagues, view sessions, and discuss what you’re learning in the Hang Out
  • Gain insights from industry leaders with Women in Business and Tech programming


See you next week in Orlando!

Below you can find the list of sessions that I will have at Microsoft Ignite.
Enterprise security in practice
How does an enterprise look when you talk about security and cloud? Complicated, rigid, and difficulty accepting cloud-based architectures. After working closely with security teams from different companies, we've identified different approaches and requirements that are standard for enterprises. In this session, let's discuss and share lessons learned on how we can map security requirements to Microsoft Azure.

Power-up NoSQL with Azure Cosmos DB
NoSQL databases are here to stay. Extremely powerful and flexible NoSQL solutions improve our systems and have a direct impact on our business. Common discussions when you are using NoSQL solutions like DocumentDB or MongoDB are disaster recovery plans, backups, scalability, replication, clustering, security and many more. What if I told you a successful story on how we reduced all these topics to only one - Cosmos DB. Join this session if you want to find out how we deployed a worldwide NoSQL solution using Azure Cosmos DB.

The story of an IoT solution
Yes, this is a session about an IoT platform, within a challenging environment. Four years ago I was deeply involved in the creation of an enterprise grade IoT platform. Guess what, Microsoft came up each year with new services and products to the market that changed the shape of our platform. The session tells the architecture story of the platform and covers the most important points in time. See how we integrated Azure Event Hubs, IoT Hub, Microsoft Power BI, Azure Data Lake, and Azure Cosmos DB in an agile manner integrating ARM and other Microsoft technologies, products or services.

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

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

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...
