Building workflow solution with Microsoft Azure and Cloud | Integration MondayBizTalk360
Most will agree that a business process can be a workflow. But, what do people think of when running workflows in the Cloud and in particular Azure or Microsoft Cloud. Because, Microsoft Azure and Cloud offer us several options to build them: No-code/low-code, and a code option with Power Automate, Logic Apps, and Durable Functions? In this session, we'll explore each and focus on building workflows with them. Furthermore, we'll see the differences and how each could potentially, complement the other.
U maakt reeds gebruik van de Cloud via bijvoorbeeld Office 365 en u wil de volgende stap zetten. Maar hoe weet u of u optimaal gebruik maakt van de technologie om zo efficiënt mogelijk te werken? Tijdens deze presentatie gaan we in op de vele mogelijkheden die de (Microsoft) Cloud biedt, zoals veilig mobiel werken, applicaties naar de cloud verplaatsen of de flexibiliteit van de Cloud toevoegen aan uw organisatie.
Hoe kunt u Office 365 gebruiken om meer te doen in minder tijd? We geven handige tips en laten u enkele interessante mogelijkheden zien die u wellicht nog niet kent. Daarnaast geven we een overzicht van de allernieuwste features. Krachtige mogelijkheden zoals Power BI, Groups, Microsoft Forms en Planner komen zeker aan bod.

Azure vs AWS Best Practices: What You Need to KnowRightScale
Azure is now the clear #2 in public cloud behind AWS. While some cloud users are evaluating Azure vs. AWS, many enterprises are planning to use both cloud providers. But there are some notable differences between how the two clouds operate and the best practices for deploying workloads in each.
The Azure vs. AWS Best Practices: What You Need to Know webinar will cover:
Recent and coming enhancements for Azure.
Azure vs. AWS differences for compute, networking, and storage.
Best practices for cloud deployments in Azure and AWS.
How to use both Azure and AWS.
The cloud platform is getting more and more attractive to the computing world. Azure is a new cloud system from Microsoft that allows applications to run from a remote connected system, hosted in a Microsoft data center, and store data in the cloud. The platform consists of three main parts – Development runtime, Azure runtime and Applications like SQL Azure. In this business focused session you will see the main business overview of this cloud platform.
All too often the discussion is focused on definitions and theory of cloud computing. Here are a few examples to bring cloud to life by companies who have taken an early plunge, at scale, and links to relevant resources.
This presentation discussed Office 365, Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite and Azure. This was presented at Define Tomorrow Microsoft event- April 2016.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

I looked at how I could port one of the DB to SDS and what kind of changes that are required. Here are the ones by simply looking at the scripts, and those are the ones you can talk about during demo, although it will run against a local SQL instance. No “use” support, so in code it will have to specify different connection string. Not to “USE DB” at the beginning of the scriptsLogin creation can’t be done via “sp_addlogin” (deprecated), instead use ‘create login”.User can’t be created via “sp_grantdbaccess” (deprecated), instead use ‘create user’.All table will need to have a clustered index (via defining primary key in most cases).

Especially for the Access apps.Web applicationsTypically built by a small development team with no little or administrative capabilitiesNeed to start small, but then be able to scale-up quickly and easily as required.Data HubsSecure data hubs enable you to consolidate existing data store investments and access them through a single cloud-based hub. The security features provided by the SADB platform ensure movement of, and access to your data is secure at all times. This enables you to develop or modify applications to provide geo-dispersed data access and enables the complete mobility of your workforce. You can be certain that if your employees have access to the internet they have access to their data!ISVs and SaaS ProvidersGrowing trend towards cloud-based LOB application offerings.Need global reach and scalability with the ability to quickly provision multiple tenants and manage billing

Most valuable things we did was to flesh out the system was to take on an internal partner. EHA is that partner EHA is that partnerEHA is a high scale archiving system. They take email from on premise Exchange servers and store in their system. This is useful for companies that need to adhere to strict compliance laws (like Sarbanes Oxley). It results in very large data sets, tens of terabytes for the larger customers.EHA had built their first version using standard scale up pattern. Each customer got their own database on a single machine. The data for the larger customers was stored in a SAN. This architecture had two issues. One was that they hit a limit on the amount data they could process. This limited them from taking on customers that exceeded that limit. The second is a problem inherent in the archival pattern itself. In the archival pattern you mostly do lots of inserts in the steady state. This requires a lot of I/O capacity but not as much processing. Then you occasionally have to do a massive query across the data set. The processing for the queries is high because of the amount of data but you only need for a short period of time. That means you need to have enough hardware for the queries but it doesn’t get used for much of the time.The solution was to build on SADB using a scale out pattern where a given customer’s data is spread out over multiple nodes. Then when a query comes in it can be distributed across all the nodes where that customer data lives. Because most customers don’t query that often each query gets to harness the full computing power of the box for that query achieving better utilitization and therefore lower cost. In addition, it turns out this pattern is more performant than the pattern they had before and had a order of magnitude increase in query perf.Working with EHA has been a win win for both us and them. It helped them improve the scale and cost efficiency of their app. And it was tremoundously valuable for us to help us prove out our design and tune our system to handle a real production workload from real paying customers.
