Azure Weekly #149 - 5th November 2017

Azure Weekly Newsletter Issue #149

Firstly, I wanted to say a big thanks to all of those who attended Future Decoded and came along to our Cosmos DB session; James Broome & Mike Larah presented to a full room, and did a great job with some very slick demos. We were sad to discover that the session wasn't recorded, so they're currently hard at work creating a video version of the session that we can release in the next few weeks.

This week's newsletter contains a mixed bag of content; the two big announcements are Azure Migrate and that Managed Applications are now Generally Available in the Azure Marketplace (and finally contain a monetization mechanism).

There are a number of interesting articles; Lets Encrypt for Azure WebApps, the most common deployment slot swap failures and how to fix them, Optimizing ASP.NET Core Docker Image sizes, and an introduction to Azure Functions in Java.

There's a good clarification between Quota versus Rate Limits in Azure API Management, an Azure Friday episode covering What's New in Azure Cosmos DBs API for MongoDB and a useful overview of how to get started with the new Azure IoT Suite Remote Monitoring preconfigured solution.

Some guidance on choosing Microsoft Graph or Azure AD Graph, a guide to creating a Service Principal with the Azure CLI, and an episode of the Azure Podcast covering Cloud Shell, and finally, a survey of Kagglers finds Python & R to be preferred tools in the Data Science space.

If you have any content you'd like to contribute to the newsletter, please tweet @AzureWeekly or ping an email to AzureWeekly@endjin.com.
