Azure Weekly

Issue #266 - 15th March 2020

This week, in the Machine Learning space, Ming Zhong has written about Helping Scientists Protect Beluga Whales with Deep Learning. It's a great article, and highlights the many ways in which ML can be used to drive positive change worldwide. Over the past year we have been working with a not-for-profit called OceanMind who are similarly passionate about protecting the world's oceans using the power of technology. I'm excited to see how these technologies can continue to assist in making a global positive change!

Vitor Montalvao has also written a blog around Azure Cost Optimization Best Practices, and, as we highlighted last week, Azure Cosmos DB free tier is now available. Since then there has been various other CosmosDB updates which can be found in the Databases section of this newsletter.

And here at endjin, James Broome has written another great blog on Azure Analysis Services, around How to execute a DAX query from .NET - definitely worth a read!
