There is sometimes a misconception about the usage of a ledger database and ledger tables. In this blog post, I will explain the main difference and how they work together to provide tamper-evidence capabilities for your data. A ledger database is a database that has the ledger property set to on, WITH LEDGER = ON. This means that all tables created in the database are updatable ledger tables by default unless you specify the APPEND_ONLY = ON clause to create append-only ledger tables. Note that a ledger database can only be configured at creation time. Once created, a ledger database cannot be converted to a regular non-ledger database. Ledger database…

SQL Server's INT data type, by design, provides a range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647. But often, developers only utilize the positive range for primary keys and other identifier fields, effectively wasting half of its potential. What if we could harness this full range to temporarily extend the capacity of an INT column? In this article, we explore this idea in-depth. Why Consider Negative Values? In large-scale applications with a massive influx of data, an integer-based identifier might approach its positive limit faster than anticipated. One approach to circumvent this limitation, without immediately switching to the BIGINT data type, is to utilize …

On behalf of our engineering and product management teams, we are excited to announce the general availability of long-term backup retention (LTR) in the Hyperscale tier of Azure SQL Database. Many applications have regulatory, compliance, or other business requirements that require the database backups to be stored beyond the 1-35 days provided by short-term (or PITR) backups. Long-term backup retention helps users meet these requirements by storing database backups for up to 10 years. Hyperscale backup overview Unlike other service tiers in Azure SQL Database, Hyperscale databases use a unique architecture with highly scalable storage and compute pe…

On behalf of our engineering and product management teams, we are excited to announce the general availability of short-term backup retention up to 35 days in the Hyperscale tier of Azure SQL Database.

In some scenarios, you might need to preprocess files before they're used by your application. For instance, you're deploying a machine learning model that relies on precomputed data files. An Init Container can download, extract, or preprocess these files, ensuring they are ready for the main application container. This approach simplifies the deployment process and ensures that your application always has access to the required data. The below example defines a simple Pod that has an init container which downloads a file from some resource to a file share which is shared between the init and main app container. The main app container is running a php-apache image…

Multi-tenant environments add an additional layer of complexity to today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Whether organizations have grown through acquisition, or have strategically implemented multi-tenant setups, navigating across multiple environments is no small task. Mundane and repetitive tasks require security operations center (SOC) teams to log in and out of each customer environment individually. This not only consumes valuable time but also reduces the overall efficiency of the SOC teams. To improve efficiency and stay ahead of modern attacks, SOC teams need an efficient yet comprehensive security solution that delivers a unified and connected experience to bo…

In today's digital era, businesses rely heavily on technology and online systems. To help safeguard against cyber threats and ensure business continuity, maintaining basic cyber hygiene is imperative. Adhering to basic security hygiene can protect against 98% of attacks.1 Here are five key standards every organization should adopt: Require phishing-resistant multifactor authentication (MFA): Enable MFA to help prevent 99.9% of attacks on your accounts.2 Opt for MFA options with minimal user friction, like biometrics or FIDO2 compliant factors such as Feitan or Yubico security keys. Use conditional access policies and single sign-on (SSO) to s…

A common practice for implementing the retrieval step in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications is to use vector search. This approach finds relevant passages using semantic similarity. We fully support this pattern in Azure Cognitive Search and offer additional capabilities that complement and build on vector search to deliver markedly improved relevance. In this blog post, we share the results of experiments conducted on Azure Cognitive Search and present a quantitative basis to support the use of hybrid retrieval + semantic ranking as the most effective approach for improved relevance out-of–the-box. This is especially true for Generative AI scenarios…

As a publisher that is offering their software solutions on the Azure Marketplace, in particular Azure Managed Applications, it is essential to monitor the customer deployments to make sure they occur without incidents, and to get notified and act quickly when something fails. While Partner Center provides a dashboard to view your deployed apps, data is not updated in real-time and it make take some time to reflect the latest state. Moreover, it might be challenging to integrate with other Azure services for analytics, alerts, and more.
