Azure Weekly

Issue #418 - 14th May 2023

First off an interesting dive into MLOps - Taking an easy path using GitHub Actions and the Azure CLI. I'm getting an increasing number of question about OpenAI and how it can actually be put to use for an organisation - so it's good to start to see more practical examples appearing: Use OpenAI GPT with your Enterprise Data.

In the analytics space; there's a good post on Using Azure DevOps with Synapse Workspaces to create hot fixes in production environments and using Azure Data Explorer for Vector Similarity Search - which is very useful for text similarity analysis (something we use to help categorise articles this newsletter!).

In the cloud native space: a topic I'm very interested in - ACA vs AKS: Which Azure Service Is Better for Running Containers, also IPvlan with Docker in Azure. Workbooks (interactive notebooks) are still very underrated as a powerful tool for analysis and exploration: How to import and use community Azure Workbooks into your Azure environment, and finally, Migrating Azure Functions from JSDoc JavaScript to TypeScript.
