Azure Weekly

Issue #321 - 25th April 2021

This week, the updates team have announced that the (API Management) open source API Portal now generally available - a place to publish your API documentation, for free!

Also on the Azure blog, the team highlights that Azure Trivia is back, with a new Azure-themed trivia question every week. And Erin Chapple discusses how Microsoft is bringing Azure supercomputing to UK Met Office.

On the Visual Studio blog, Amanda Silver announces the first public preview of Visual Studio 2022! And, in line with this, David Ramel discusses the yop 10 feature requests for the new release.

Diego Colombo has taken part in a livestream about all things Jupyter Notebooks and C#, definitely worth a watch! .NET Interactive is a technology which we are hugely invested in here at endjin, and we're extremely excited to see how the project progresses over the next few months (especially with an exciting announcement that we'll be sharing more about soon!).

Another project which we're huge fans of is Azure Bicep. And this week Justin Yoo discusses how the latest version of Azure Bicep is ready for your production workloads. This week I've been using Bicep as part of a project we're working on, and I have to say that I'm constantly impressed by the usability (especially when compared to ARM!).

Finally, Thursday was Earth Day 2021, and in honour of this Frank Boucher highlights a livestream: Hello World, Hello Earth. Here the team cover the Earth Day Cloud Skills Challenge, discuss visual green tech, and explore a Minecraft sustainable city!
