Azure Weekly
Issue #378 - 10th July 2022
There are a number of interesting articles covering real world uses cases of analytics: Introducing AVERA: Automated Vessel Emission and Route Analysis (this is an area of interest as we created AIS.NET for high performance marine vessel telemetry processing), and Aviation flight data analytics with Azure Synapse Analytics, and finally Geospatial Analytics for Connected Vehicle with Synapse Data Explorer. There's also an article highlighting ways you can browse industry templates and add tables to create your own lake database.
Two other items of note: the General availability of Azure Active Directory authentication for Application Insights and Dealing With Azure Capacity Shortages.
