During these times, delivering sessions remotely started to become a normality. Global Azure Virtual 2020 . It was fun and a little challenge to deliver them in front of my laptop, without having the ability to be in a real venue. I love to interact with people and the social distance makes things difficult. Last week I had the great opportunity to deliver 3 sessions during In a few days, the recording will be made available, but until then you can find below the topics that I covered.

It gives us the power to store multiple version of the same document (object) in the same collection (list) inside a NoSQL data store. Depending on the business requirements and what other system  needs to be integrated with your data store, having multiple document types in the same collection can be tricky and can create issues for the consumer.  The tricky part is when you start to have multiple versions of the same document stored in a collection. The application(s) that consume  the documents needs to start to be aware of multiple versions of the same document type and the ability to manage them differently. It involves transformations or managing the documents in different ways. Imagine a system that runs in production for 5 years. Every 6 months, a new version of the system is released, where a part of the documents that are stored in Azure CosmosDB have new fiel...

Let’s try to identify what are the main differences between and what are the limitations of the two options that we have available inside Azure AD. Azure AD B2C Azure AD B2C (Business2Customers) is for solutions that have a front-end and interaction with users. It enables us to have an identity system that supports users to sign-in using their own identity or identity created inside Azure B2C. Users can use their personal Facebook, Google, LinkedIn or Amazon account to log-in inside your application. Azure AD B2B Azure AD B2B (Business2Business) has a different purpose in comparison with B2C. The primary purpose of it is when customers want to share resources (e.g. files, Azure resources, Office 365 content) with external users. B2B involves federation between the custo...
