Azure ARC which was announced in the year 2019 is a strategic invention that enables Microsoft to spread its roots to the enterprise data centre and public clouds. This is because, currently, only Azure ARC manages both the modern infrastructure of Kubernetes and the legacy infrastructure of physical servers.
Conversational AI is a ‘brain’ that enables computers to understand, process, and respond to voice or text inputs in natural ways, and is typically used in conjunction with bots or virtual agents. It can communicate just like human beings by recognizing speech and text, understanding intent, decoding languages, and responding in a way that imitates human conversation. We have advanced from a world where people had to be learned about and adapt to computers, to one where computers are learning how to interact with people. Microsoft comes with Azure Bot Service and Bot Framework to help develop conversational experiences in applications.
Since its inception, Microsoft Azure has seen a tremendous transformation in the way it provides cutting-edge Cloud services.
A survey by Gartner predicts that cloud computing will be a whopping $300 billion business by 2021. The concept has gained a lot of traction in the last few years with enterprises across industries and geographies leveraging the power of the cloud.
The software development world is evolving continually. The advent of new technologies has radically impacted the world of software development. Among the various technologies, cloud-based services have had a tremendous impact on the software development process.
When Microsoft announced it is transitioning from Azure Mobile Services to Azure App Service, it was a huge move for this giant corporation. However, with the option of letting Microsoft make the move automatically for you, there is no harm in being proactive about the sequences to follow when migrating.
An architecture style can be defined as a family of architectures that share some common characteristics. The right architecture is a critical aspect of any systems development process. Although an architecture should be independent of any specific technology, certain technologies may greatly facilitate the implementation of certain architectures. In this article, we will look at some architecture styles commonly used in cloud applications.
Back in early days software was developed as a single unit constructed from a mishmash of custom technologies that were clubbed together. As can be imagined, with the addition of more features, it started becoming more complicated with a codebase that steadily grew bigger and harder to work with. Microservices break apart this model into a set of small, discrete and most importantly, independent processes, helping developers improve the software faster and more efficiently.
