Cloud and azure and rock and roll

Editor's Notes

  1. Azure is a wide-ranging and comprehensive cloud-computing platform that is evolving every day with new features and services. Currently, Azure includes more than 100 different services, ranging from IaaS services such as VMs to rich SaaS services such as Azure Machine Learning, Azure Stream Analytics, and Azure HDInsight.
  2. Slide Objective: Explain workflow for provisioning VMs in the cloud Speaker Notes: You have three methods of starting this process: Build a VM from the portal, from the command line OR programmatically calling the REST API. Once your choice of provisioning is made you will need to select the image and instance size to start from. The newly created disk will be stored in blob storage and your machine will boot.
  3. Slide Objective: Explain a wide variety of images that you can choose from. Speaker Notes: First of all, you can choose from different Windows Servers and a variety of Linux implementations. [Click] As well as pre-built images for different flavors of SQL Database and Oracle databases. [Click] You can also choose from a number of first-party and certified third-party images for various application servers and infrastructural components. [Click] And last but not least, if you are a MSDN subscriber, you also have access to Visual Studio images and client Windows systems such as Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 for your DevTest purposes.
  4. Slide Objective: Explain the benefits of image mobility Notes: One of the key benefits of IaaS is flexibility and control. The Windows Azure solution provides the capability of not only moving VHDs TO the cloud but also allows you to copy the VHD back down and run it locally or on another cloud provider. Great for testing out production issues or any other need where you require a copy of the production server.
  5. Azure Web Apps, which are part of the Azure App Service family, allow you to publish Web sites/apps using a variety of popular technology stacks.  To help, the Microsoft Azure Marketplace contains thousands of free templates for deploying apps, services, virtual machines, and more, preconfigured for Azure and provisioned with popular tools such as WordPress, CakePHP, Joomla, and Django.
  6. In a matter of minutes, Azure HDInsight allows you to spin up a cluster of virtual machines with Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and other popular open-source tools for analyzing big data. No more having to set up and maintain a hardware cluster yourself, or having to install, configure, and maintain all the software that goes on it. HDInsight lets you spend your time doing what you do best -- analyzing data -- rather than maintaining the infrastructure around it,.
  7. Machine learning is an offshoot of AI that finds patterns in large volumes of data and uses those patterns to perform predictive analytics. A classic example of ML at work is how credit-card companies detect fraudulent transactions in real time (or near real time). They train a model with millions of transactions, each classified as "fraudulent" or "not fraudulent." Features of the model include data such as the identity of the card holder, the time and place of the transaction, the type of goods or services purchased, location of purchase, and amount of purchase. Then each time a new transaction occurs, they feed that into the model and are told whether the transaction should be flagged as fraudulent -- with an astonishing degree of accuracy. Azure Machine Learning is an SaaS offering that combines rich analytical capabilities with a drag-and-drop user interface that makes building sophisticated ML models extraordinarily easy. Another example of how ML touches us every day is spam detection. Train a model with millions of e-mail messages, each classified as spam or not spam, and then use that model to determine whether the next message arriving in your inbox should be moved to the junk folder.
  8. Querying static data sources such as databases is an established and well-understood science. Extracting information from fast-moving data streams, such as those emanating from millions of IoT devices, is much more challenging. Azure Stream Analytics provides a solution by layering an enhanced version of the SQL query language over dynamic data streams. Combined with other Azure features such as event hubs and Power BI, it can be used to build real-time systems that analyze -- and allow you to respond to -- events as they happen.
  9. The Microsoft Cognitive Services Face API (https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api) includes methods for detecting human faces, comparing faces for similarity, organizing people into groups according to visual similarity, identifying people previously tagged people in images, and more. It is one of more than 20 APIs in the Cognitive Services family that enable developers to build intelligent apps by embedding functionality that is the product of years of research.
  10. The Microsoft Cognitive Services Text Analytics API (https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/text-analytics-api) includes methods for sentiment analysis, key-phrase extraction, topic detection, and language detection. The sentiment-analysis API accepts text as input and returns a numeric score between 0 and 1. Scores close to 1 indicate positive sentiment and scores close to 0 indicate negative sentiment. Sentiment score is generated using classification techniques. The input features of the classifier include n-grams, features generated from part-of-speech tags, and word embeddings. Currently, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese text are supported.
  11. You don't have to learn C# to build apps that utilize Azure. SDKs are freely available for a variety of popular languages and platforms. You can get started quickly by using what you already know.
