Azure Weekly #148 - 29th October 2017

Azure Weekly Newsletter Issue #148

Welcome the the 148th edition of the Azure Weekly Newsletter.

To start off this newsletter, a new blog post from us; Mike Larah explains how endjin set up daily Azure spending alerts and saved $10k.

The big announcement this week was Azure Container Service (AKS - the managed Kubernetes service) and Azure Container Registry improvements. The big news is that AKS (the management plane) is free, you only pay for the container compute - this is real Container as a Service as PaaS.

Two articles worth your time are Azure Cosmos DB: An experts introduction and Azure Event Grid – Making the Cloud Reactive; these two services will change how you use Azure.

Filed in the "I didn't even know that was possible" category; Kay Singh has created a neat Solarized Dark theme for the Azure Cloud Shell.

Tim Burrell explains how to Detect the latest ransomware threat (aka Bad Rabbit) with Azure Security Center, and Rob Mead describes How Azure Security Center automates the detection of a cyber attack.

Finally, it's Future Decoded this week in London, a reminder that James Broome & Mike Larah from endjin are presenting along with Phil Harvey from Microsoft, sharing our experiences developing with Cosmos DB. It's going to be a great session. The presentation is on Wednesday 1st November from 11:30 – 12:30 in L3 – Session Room 11. If you're attending Future Decoded and want to say "hi", ping me on twitter @HowardvRooijen
