Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[1] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. For example, a cloud computer facility that serves European users during European business hours with a specific application (e.g., email) may reallocate the same resources to serve North American users during North America's business hours with a different application (e.g., a web server). This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rackspace, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications.

Performance testing is used to determine the speed and effectiveness of software. It involves testing a system under pressure to analyze response times, throughput, and identify bottlenecks. The key aspects of performance testing include load testing by simulating peak usage, stress testing beyond normal limits, tuning to optimize performance, and benchmarking to compare a product's performance against competitors. The performance testing process involves planning test objectives, recording usage scenarios, modifying scripts to simulate realistic loads, executing tests while monitoring performance, and analyzing results to identify issues.

Security & Compliance in the Cloud [2019]Tudor Damian
Almost every business decision requires executives and managers to balance risk and reward, and efficiency in that process is essential to an enterprise’s success. Too often though, IT risk (business risk related to the use of IT) is overlooked. While other business risks such as market, credit and operational risks have long been incorporated into the decision-making processes, IT risk has usually been relegated to technical specialists outside the boardroom, despite falling under the same risk category as other business risks: failure to achieve strategic objectives.
With the emergence of the Cloud, IT risk has suffered yet another radical transformation. The past couple of years have also brought along new vulnerabilities, exploits, and attack methods, as well as new data privacy requirements such as the GDPR. While all of these things require significant changes to any existing processes and tools, they mostly require a different approach when catering to people's IT security awareness, especially when moving to the Cloud.
The document discusses how data accessibility is driving innovation in manufacturing through cloud and vault data management systems. It outlines how data has become more disruptive as information needs to be accessed in real-time across sites and stakeholders. Those not leveraging their data may fall behind. The presentation will demonstrate how a cloud-based vault provides real-time accessibility, analytics, and concurrent engineering across organizations and on mobile devices. Key benefits include data centricity, productivity, flexibility, and reduced costs compared to on-premise systems. Attendees will understand how partners can help leverage data for business optimization through these solutions.

On the other hand, new business infrastructure services based on the cloud are emerging every day, as well as changing in functionality, features and price. This sprawl and flux of services have to be harnessed to serve the shifting business priorities, whilst keeping the current business and existing investments properly operational. The way to manage this chaos is through a robust and comprehensive Service Orchestration platform.

A dive into Microsoft Fabric/AI Solutions offering. For the event: AI, Data, and CRM: Shaping Business through Unique Experiences. By D. Koutsanastasis, Microsoft
This document discusses how organizations can create unique customer experiences through a customer relationship management (CRM) approach. It notes that customer expectations are growing while experiences are often inconsistent or irrelevant. The CRM landscape is challenging due to siloed data and lack of a complete customer view. To overcome these challenges, the document recommends building a customer journey approach founded on four pillars: breaking through barriers with data and insights; innovating everywhere through integrated cloud services; creating faster impact with modular solutions; and adapting to change through agility and transformation. A CRM approach can help organizations better understand customers, anticipate needs, and deliver personalized experiences to build loyalty. The key is combining enabling technology with a customer-centric culture and engaged employees.

Overview of Microsoft solutions that can help any organization bring their data in the era of AI. For the event: AI, Data, and CRM: Shaping Business through Unique Experiences
AI and machine learning are transforming businesses in many ways. Machine learning uses large amounts of data to help computers learn tasks without being explicitly programmed. Deep learning uses neural networks to perform complex tasks like image recognition and natural language processing. While AI today is narrow and focused on specific tasks, generative AI and large language models are increasing capabilities. Businesses are using AI for applications like customer experience, supply chain management, banking fraud detection, and retail personalization. Major companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM provide cloud services and tools to help businesses adopt and implement AI.
In the era of the enormous loads of data coming from multiple sources and addressed to millions of users, data analytics and customer relation technologies, coupled with effective methodologies driven by Artificial Intelligence, pave the way for innovative approaches.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
