Azure Weekly

Issue #389 - 2nd October 2022

A recurring theme over the last few months has been "trimming IT budgets", and there's another good blog post on Azure Cost Optimisation. Two good overview articles; the first covering the often overlooked Azure Data Explorer (ADX) in Demystifying Data Explorer, and the second showing how to Monitor Microservices App using Azure Managed Grafana.

Jon George continues his series Bye bye Azure Functions, Hello Azure Container Apps: Migrating from Azure Functions to ASP.NET Core, James Dawson publishes a useful guide to Publishing Scripts to the PowerShell Gallery, Liam Mooney provides a overview of Continuous Integration with GitHub Actions, and Manoj Srinivas has a step-by-step guide to Remove Azure Secrets committed to GitHub.

Finally, two interesting articles: Partition Key Best Practices in Cosmos DB, and it's always interesting to see the evolution of text to speech, Introducing AI-generated voices for Azure neural text to speech service.
