Editor's Notes
- #8 Looking for a Consultant / Associate Consultant in Brisbane
- #10 Azure Event Hubs is a real-time, highly scalable, and fully managed data-stream ingestion service that can ingress millions of events per second and stream them through multiple applications. This lets you process and analyze massive amounts of data produced by your connected devices and applications. Simple setup. Reduced total cost of ownership. Seamless integration with Azure Storage (with more data repositories added soon). Near-real time batch analytics.
- #11 With Azure Traffic Manager, your customers can control the distribution of user traffic for service endpoints in different datacenters. Service endpoints include those in Azure as well as external, non-Azure endpoints. The above configurable settings, when used together, allow Traffic Manager to direct traffic away from a degraded endpoint 90 percent faster than the standard. Your customers can access the settings for Fast Failover using the Azure portal, PowerShell, CLI, and REST APIs or SDKs.
- #12 Of the existing tiers, the Basic tier will not change. The Standard and High-Performance tiers are being replaced with VpnGw1, VpnGw2, and VpnGw3. Currently deployed VPN gateways will not be changed automatically to the new tiers and will retain current performance and pricing. However, we recommend that your customers consider migrating their existing gateways to one of the new tiers. The new gateways could provide them with up to six times more performance for the same price. After September 15, 2017, we will retire the ability to create new Standard and High-Performance VPN Gateways.
- #13 Network Watcher is free in all public regions during a four-month promotional period that ends July 31, 2017.
- #16 Power BI is a suite of business analytics tools via desktop, web client, and mobile apps to analyze data and share insights. Customers can unify all their organization’s data, whether in the cloud or on-premises. Customers can connect Microsoft SQL Server databases, Analysis Services models, and other third-party data sources to visualize their data into impactful dashboards, updated in real time, and available on all devices.
- #17 Azure Batch delivers cloud-scale job scheduling and compute management for batch and HPC applications, enabling your customers to scale to thousands of virtual machines. Customers can use either Linux or Windows and autoscale based on workload, while only paying for what they use.
- #19 GeoDR service will allow you to explicitly fail-over your Service Bus connection strings to another region. NOT a HA tool Fail forward only
- #23 NDC Sydney 2017 is set to happen 14-18 August at Hilton Sydney. The conference will have the same format as its European sisters NDC Oslo and NDC London with 2 days of workshops and 3 days of conference sessions.
- #24 All Day DevOps is an online community responsible for creating the world's largest DevOps conference. Our 2017 All Day DevOps conference will offer 96, 30-minute sessions across five tracks in all time zones, simultaneously. Tracks include CI/CD, Modern Infrastructure and Monitoring, Automated Security, DevOps in Government, and the newly created "Tech Crawl" where companies will invite you to a sneak peek of what it's like to work on DevOps in their organization. All sessions are practitioner-led with a "No vendor pitches" policy strictly enforced.
