Azure Weekly

Issue #271 - 19th April 2020

This week, Nadeem Ahamed has provided a summary of Azure Functions Live, where there were some exciting announcements, many of them focused around using Python with Azure Functions.

Stephane Eyskens has provided "a mindmap for the Azure Infrastructure Architect". It's a great summary of all of the services involved in designing Azure infrastructure, and forms part of a wider set of maps which are incredibly helpful for navigating the complex world of Azure services!

Elsewhere, John Papa has written a blog highlighting GitHub's new CLI, which is an incredibly useful tool for automating GitHub processes.

There's also been a video on channel 9 which we're very excited about. Ralph Squillace has joined Shayne Boyer to discuss Cloud Native Application Bundles (CNAB). Endjin have been heavily involved in creating the Azure CNAB Quickstarts Library and are we are very excited to see it being talked about publicly!

And on the endjin blog, Carmel has written about building a proximity detection pipeline with Azure Functions. The post focuses on the work we recently completed with OceanMind around detecting illegal fishing using a serverless architecture. However, it also highlights much of our core process here at endjin around designing and developing solutions. Alongside this, James has continued his series on Azure Analysis Services, this week discussing how to update the expression for a calculated column from .NET and how you can save money with automatic shutdown. As always, definitely worth a read!
