Azure Weekly

Issue #383 - 21st August 2022

It's quite a packed issue, so will jump right in with the highlights: as the possibility of global recession looms, organisations will be looking at internal budgets to see if any costs can be trimmed. There's a timely post: Infra Cost Optimisation In The Cloud – Practical Design Steps For Architects and Developers.

I stumbled across a post I missed in May, from Brad Smith, which addresses concerns raised in Europe about some of Microsoft's software licensing practices that impact competing cloud providers: Microsoft responds to European Cloud Provider feedback with new programs and principles. Worth a read if you use any of the European Datacenters.

Other articles of note: Machine Learning with Cosmos DB and Synapse Link, Azure Tips and Tricks - Remove Azure Secrets committed to GitHub, Use GitHub Codespaces to learn Machine Learning, and finally Building .NET Serverless applications with isolated model in Azure Functions and Visual Studio 2022.
