Azure Weekly #153 - 3rd December 2017

Azure Weekly Newsletter Issue #153

powered by endjin

A relatively quiet week on the Azure front after the deluge of the last few weeks. There has been a couple of preview announcements, including Azure Migrate which was revealed at this year's Microsoft Ignite, along with the very interesting Azure Location Based Services, which enable developers, enterprises and ISVs to create location aware apps and IoT, mobility, logistics and asset tracking solutions.

Microsoft has also expanded a couple of its partnerships recently, about which you can read in the following articles: Microsoft and SAP announce partnership to help more companies digitally transform, and Box Platform Now Available in Microsoft Azure

If your interests lie mainly with Databases, there has been a couple of announcements this week. There is a new version of the Elastic Database Client Library for Azure SQL database supporting Java, and automatic tuning in Azure SQL Database becomes even more flexible, by introducing Automatic plan correction and T-SQL management.

In the Data & Analytics area, Azure Analysis Services is now integrated with Azure Monitor Resource Diagnostic Logs, and there is a handy new feature around using Server Aliases which allows users to connect to an alias server name instead of the server name exposed in the Azure portal.

For the developers out there, there are a couple of new features in Azure Data Lake Tools for Visual Studio: it now supports Python & R programming and ad-hoc U-SQL queries.

Now, a couple of non-announcements, but interesting links nonetheless: Azure WebJobs and Azure Functions are compared in a detailed article about running apps on Azure, and there is an interesting podcast about AI at Microsoft on .NET Rocks.
