Cloud as a Story - Vunvulea Radu

Quality metrics are important and need to be measured when we build and deploy a new system version. Resilience, response time, scalability, and application performance are not easy to test when creating a cloud solution.  Today's post talks about how you can run a performance test on top of Azure using Azure Load Testing. This service provided by Microsoft gives us the possibility to run large performance, scalability or application quality tests in a controlled and easy manner.  With the Azure Load Testing service, a developer or tester can configure and run a load test in just a few minutes, collect the output, and identify the system's bottleneck. Azure Load test components 4 main components are built around Azure load and performance capability: (1) Azure Monitor – used to collect information from Azure services (2) Azure Application Insights – used to collect application data and to provide an easy way to display and track application metrics (3) Azure Container In...

Almost two years ago, we had to accept that the world as we know it had changed. Most of the companies migrated their workforce to remote working. Nowadays hybrid work model is part of the normality. Companies started to invest more in their digitalisation and cloud adoption programs. In this article, we talk about the current state of security and the top 10 security things that we need to invest in when we do a cloud adoption (cloud migration).  Cloud adoption and remote working changed how we build IT Solutions and how we tackle security. From my point of view, COVID-19 was and is a security incentive, exposing us to new digital risks and making us more aware of IT and cloud security.  Security Impact To understand the real impact of the current situations, let's take a look at some statistics :  Global adoption of digitalisation has increased to 55% in the last seven years 48% of the companies had to accelerate the cloud migration programs during the pandemic 60% of t...

I am excited to be part of the team that delivered sessions at TECH DAY 2021 , organized by Microsoft.  On the 25th of November, I talked about secure development and what a cloud developer needs to consider. It was a session where the main focus was on hands-on experience. I had 10 slides and the rest of the time was only hands-on experience inside Azure Portal and other cloud tools. I hope that you enjoyed my session! You can find below the slide deck Title :  Secure Application Development Abstract :  This session aims to identify the tools that help us build secure applications and environments for Azure during the development journey. The focus is on the developers and the tools we can use to ensure that our code is secure and aligned with all the available best practices and recommendations. It’s a hands-on session, limited to 10 slides and a lot of demos. Deck :  Secure Application Development from Radu Vunvulea
