This document contains several examples of how serverless computing with Azure Functions can be used to automate and scale various tasks including:
1. Replicating logs from one data center to another, analyzing the logs, and taking action in response.
2. Uploading data to storage, processing the data asynchronously, and exposing a REST API to access the data.
3. Collecting tweets, analyzing tweets, and displaying rich analysis of tweet data.
The document outlines how Azure Functions can be used to build these solutions more easily and with better scalability compared to traditional infrastructure setups with virtual machines.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Talking points: (New)
Note to speaker: no extra clicks needed, all visuals will fly in on their own at page load time.
Before Cloud (or even now), let’s say you run a successful business and you try to build business apps, you have two options. You can either build on premises or co-location. You will go and buy servers and infrastructure to run your business applications.
With that came many questions when you build and manage your own server. From what servers to buy, how to provision my new server, what do I do if there is hardware failure, to how to deploy my code and patch my servers, there are simply too many things to consider.
It can be overwhelming when you manage your own physical servers.
points: (New)
Note to speaker: no extra clicks needed
Well, a much cleaner picture, isn’t it? A few years later, there is this thing called “IaaS”. The idea is, you don’t need to buy or build your own servers, use our infrastructure service, aka IaaS.
With that, you don’t have to worry about provisioning your servers, or securing the physical location of your server farm. Many questions go away.
But, there is but… you still need to think about which IOS to use, how to patch the server, in addition to managing your business apps. Can those tedious tasks be taken care of as well?
Talking points: (New)
Yes. We have this service called Platform as a Service, PaaS. What is great about it is, VM patching, IOS selection, back up and code deployment are all built into PaaS platform for you. Isn’t that great?
Now only four questions remain,
How many servers do I need?
What is the right size of server for my biz? S1, P3?
How can I increase server utilization?
More importantly, how I scale my app?
Let’s see how everything works together so far --- transition into the IaaS & PaaS chart.
Abstraction of servers, infrastructure and configuration of operating system
Event-driven scale
Sub-second billing
Stateless
Serverless compute is a fully managed service. Some refer to it as Functions as a Service
OS and Framework patching is performed for you
There is zero administrative tasks and no need to manage any infrastructure
You just deploy your code (function) and it runs
Your code runs within seconds and for very short period of time
Serverless compute scales quickly (almost instantly) and vastly
Automatically scales within seconds
No scale configuration is required (there is no way to configure scale or limits)
Scales to match any given workload. Scales from zero to handle tens of thousands concurrent functions invocations within seconds
Pay only for the time your code is running
Serverless compute reacts to events
React, in near real-time, to events and triggers
Triggered by virtually any event from Azure service or 3rd party services
Setup time, provisioning is long & costly
“Pinnacle of PaaS compute”
Not just hardware “servers”, but software servers are also managed for you
Focus on business logic, not solving technical problems not core to business
Lower effort to get started makes it easier to experiment (bots, etc.)
Benefits of “Serverless”
Bindings abstract away where the data is coming to
Logic Apps
Programming free paradigm with a visual designer, drag and drop workflows
With Connectors to different types of services (eg an FTP server)
Talking Points: (Updated on 4/3/17)
Lets talk about what really makes up MSFT’s Serverless platform: At the center of the Serverless platform, is our compute offerings: Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps. Azure Functions is an event based Serverless compute experience that helps you accelerate your development. Run time is open. Function code can be executed in vm or somewhere else, on prem or in clould. Logic Apps is a powerful orchestration tool. It enables building a Serverless app in minutes – by orchestrating multiple functions using a visual workflow tool.
Say you have your apps up and running using Serverless. Congratulations! You now need to collect intelligence from different apps across platforms to take actions upon. There are a few essential components which we think are core to building Serverless applications are:
Data/ Storage –Functions has triggers and bindings with Azure document DB and Azure Blob storage
** Triggers: Triggers are event responses used to trigger your custom code. They allow you to respond to events across the Azure platform or on premise.
** Bindings: Bindings represent the necessary meta data used to connect your code to the desired trigger or associated input or output data.
Messaging such as queues and topics using Azure Service Bus and Azure Event Hubs
Integration – that includes core LOB apps and SaaS apps integration via Azure Logic Apps.
Intelligence on data and sentiment/ predictive analysis using Cognitive services and Machine learning
Conversation as a service – how do we equip developers to build apps that offer an end-to-end experience for their end users – Azure Bot Service offers a Serverless interactive bot experience.
More, developers are spending more time writing code that allows them to add huge business impact with Serverless. MSFT offers numerous development tools such as IDE Support for Visual Studio in functions and Logic Apps, enables local development (vs web browser coding environment), visual debugging capability, all with your tools of choice.
Lastly, I also want to highlight top scenarios and use cases for Serverless:
Real-time Stream analytics: Customers can use Functions to feed real-time streams of data from application tracking into structured data and store it in SQL online.
SaaS event processing: Customers can use Functions and Logic Apps to analyze data from an excel file in Onedrive and perform validation, filtration, sorting and convert data into consumable business charts
Web app architecture: Used a lot in creating targeted marketing collaterals – when a customer clicks on a webpage, it triggers a webhook, that uses a function to create an ad that matches the customer profile and displays a completed webpage.
Real-time bot messaging: When customers send a message to a chatbox, Functions calls Cortana analytics to generate appropriate answers and sends a response back.
//from before: Customers have different paths to build a Serverless app – start by building the distributed application components using functions by leveraging the numerous templates and declarative bindings Or
Start with the workflow and orchestration of Serverless application using Azure Logic Apps. The visual designer enables developers to quickly and easily author, edit and visualize orchestration of multiple functions and workflow.
In today’s cloud enabled world, businesses are solving for maximum efficiency and faster time to market, while reducing IT spend.
Over the years we have seen businesses evolve from spinning VMs to leveraging the benefits of PaaS cloud such as managed infrastructure, scalability, high availability and cost.
Today, more businesses are trying to solve for what is core to their business focus – delivering services faster to their customers, while reducing IT spend significantly. The answer comes in the form of Serverless application platform.
In industry terms, when you hear someone say “Serverless” more often than not they are talking about Serveless Compute services which form the glue that enable developers to build their apps faster leveraging a variety of other PaaS services.
Serverless lets businesses maximize their benefits of the PaaS cloud by offering a fully managed infrastructure, with no servers to manage, provision and patch; hence reducing management overhead significantly. The event triggered programming model, allows for continuous auto-scaling and micro billing capabilities. Event-triggered compute and event-triggered scaling allows businesses to pay only for the compute power that was used, depending on the size of the workload.

The awesome thing that Plexure has done is that they not only utilize these services to help process events from their own platform, but they actually offer the ability for their own users to write Functions within their UX to use as part of a workflow. (I’ll spend some time here to let the impact of that sink in)
A customer walks into a store to do their shopping. With partner integration (GE indoor positioning) we are able to track the customer's route through the store and in addition identify the zones within the store that the customer has dwelled (spent a longer than average time in the section) in. As an example we now know the Susan walked through the store but dwelled the longest in the wine section.
Now when the customer has gone to the till and scanned their goods we get a live pos feed of their cart. Using this workflow we marry the customers dwell times and the cart information to offer the customer the most relevant product based on their behaviour in the store. Carrying on with our example Susan we see Susan bought a line fish, but did not buy any wine that pairs with the fish even though she dwelled in the wine section. We can now push a message to her telling her that she should pair her fish with a nice bottle of souvenir blanc.
The story here is we needed the ability to integrate and filter complex results from a partners API to a format that we could easily process within our workflow.
