Welcome to the cloud farm where the
Lama drama is never ending and the cloud
computing is plentiful.
This week on the show Cosmos DB
goes serverless to solve your
spiky prob-llamas. The Service Bus
Explorer is available in a new preview.
It could save you from Llamageddon and
our new segment on the show gives you
some ways to get involved
with the Azure community.
You've tuned into Azure this week where
the best puns have been published since
1999 llama me show you how.
Wow that's a lot of puns.
I've covered Cosmos DB several
times before on the show.
It's one of the most impressive services
on Azure and in the right hands it
can take an application or
service to the next level. Yes,
the pricing has been an issue,
but that is why there is a new
free tier and now even more new
is serverless pricing for cosmos DB.
This new model is meant to support
spiky and unpredictable workloads and
Microsoft claims can save you up to
70% compared to the current pricing
model. That'd be nice.
Another new feature in preview for cosmos
DB is autoscaling or autopilot mode
and this mode will maintain SLA while
scaling up to a customer specified
maximum to meet the needs of
unpredictable high throughput workloads.
So much Cosmo's goodness that
even Barack Ollama would approve.
A new tool for Azure Service Bus
was launched in preview this week.
The Service Bus Explorer lets you
perform data operations such as send,
receive and peak on queues,
topics and subscriptions on your
Service Bus through the Azure portal.
Previously you had to use third party
tools to test these data operations,
but Microsoft has now provided
first party support as well.
To learn more about the
Service Bus Explore tool,
use the link in the description.
Allow me to introduce a new segment to
the show Community Service Announcements
because we're all locked up inside.
Most of the Azure community
events are now online,
which means you can join as well.
So Llama take you through a
few of them coming up soon.
AI Burst 2020 is a Microsoft
focused AI developer conference
covering topics such as artificial
intelligence or AI, machine learning,
ML and much more.
It's taking place on the 5th of
June in the European time zone.
Microsoft Build 2020 took place
live last week which we covered,
but all 648 sessions are
now available online and on
demand so you can relive
Satya Nadella's keynote,
Scott Hellman's amazing developer keynote,
all of the Easter egg surprises
in the videos and so much more.
I hear there is an excellent panel
discussion on online learning too. Hmm.
Next week on the 3rd of June is also
the Virtual Azure Community Day,
a 100 Azure content filled online
event being delivered in four
languages, English, French,
Spanish and Japanese.
I will be attending some of the 18 hour
event and hopefully report back on it
next week as well. All three events
I have mentioned are free to attend,
so get amongst it and
learn a new Azure thing.
No more puns for you until next week.
Probably as we say on
the A Cloud Guru team,
when you are testing out a new audio set
up for the first time and hope you can
hear what I'm saying,
seek and you shall cloud,
so see you next week and keep
staying calm A Cloud Gurus.
