Azure comes with a full set of tools and utilities that can be used to manage and monitor your applications. In this session, see how streaming logs work to monitor the production application in real time. We also talk about deployment slots that enable easy A/B testing of new features and show how Snapshot Debugging...
MOD20 - Moving your database to Azure
|
Microsoft Ignite the Tour, Paris, France 14 Nov 2019 |
Northwind kept the bulk of its data in an on-premises data center, which hosted servers running both SQL Server and MongoDB. After the acquisition, Tailwind Traders worked with the Northwind team to move their data center to Azure. In this session, see how to migrate an on-premises MongoDB database to Azure Cosmos DB and SQL Server database to an Azure SQL Server. From there, walk through performing the migration and ensuring minimal downtime while you switch over to the cloud-hosted providers.

MOD41 - Deploying and A/B testing without risks with Deployment Slots
|
Microsoft Ignite the Tour, Paris, France 14 Nov 2019 |
Who hasn’t been very scared when deploying a new feature to a website? Sometimes we feel that we will break everything, and the stress level is just not something we want to experience ever again. That's why the Deployment Slots feature of Azure App Services is such a nice experience. With Deployment Slots, you can deploy to a safe slot in the same conditions than your production environment. You can test in isolation, without risking breaking something. Then you can gradually route some of the ...
Taking advantage of AI easily with Azure Cognitive Services
 DevTalks .NET Meetup, Paris, France12 Nov 2019 |
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are fascinating areas of computing. Microsoft is betting a lot on these new technologies, but we are also aware that data scientists are highly trained professionals, and that not every software developer can create and maintain complex data models, perform linear algebra or purchase expensive GPU rigs to run these models. This is exactly why we created Cognitive services. This suite of services offers pre-trained models that you can use out-of-the-box to...
Azure 101
 EPITA presentation to students, EPITA, Kremlin-Bicêtre, France12 Nov 2019 |
'There is no cloud, it's just someone else's computer…' That is true. But when this someone else is Microsoft, and takes care of all the maintenance of these huge server farms, you can redirect these resources used to take care of your own infrastructure to other important tasks, such as adding features for your users. However at first sight, Microsoft Azure and its huge offering can seem daunting for a new user. In this presentation, Laurent Bugnion, who until recently didn't know much about th...
Serverless SignalR: Building real time messaging applications for web and .NET
 Microsoft Ignite, Orlando, FL07 Nov 2019 |
SignalR allows real-time communication between applications without the need to refresh a page or poll a server. It takes advantage of push technologies like web sockets. Did you know that you can also run SignalR without setting a server up? Serverless is a very exciting trend in cloud technologies, because they free you from the need to setup and manage a server. Scaling up? No problems. Patching the software? We’ll take care of that for you. And setting it up is easy! In this session Chris No...
