Hello howdy readers, Not too long passed since my last post on Azure Monitor; I couldn’t leave you alone . In this post, I would like to explore something about gaining and keeping observability over guest users. Guest users in Azure Active Directory are external users to which you can grant permission on resources in your tenant, thanks to the B2B collaboration. Adding an external user to your tenant is remarkably simple: sending an invitation to the user’s email address is more than enough. Once the invitation is accepted, the user can sign-in and access the resources in your subscriptions(s) according to the permissions given to his/her guest account. F…

Introduction Today there is a lot of interest around generative AI, specifically training and inferencing large language models (OpenAI GPT4, DALL.E2), Git copilot, Azure OpenAI service). Training these large language models requires lots of float-point performance and high interconnect network bandwidth. The Azure NDm_v4 virtual machine is an ideal choice for these types of demanding jobs (because it has 8 A100 GPU and each GPU has 200 Gbps of HDR InfiniBand). Kubernetes is a popular choice to deploy and manage containerized workloads on compute/gpu resources. The Azure Kubernetes service (AKS) simplifies Kubernetes cluster deployments. We show how to deploy an …

MariaDB is the open-source relational database management system created by MySQL’s original developers. MariaDB is designed to be highly compatible with MySQL. It supports the same SQL syntax, data types, and connectors as MySQL, allowing for a seamless transition for applications or databases that previously used MySQL.

To address this request, this blog post focuses on moving from Azure Database for MariaDB version 10.3 to Azure Database for MySQL version 5.7 using the MySQL Shell (MySQLSh) client. However, the same process, with minor changes, can help migrate other compatibl…

Heya folks, Ned here again. Beginning in Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 25381 (Canary, zn_release) Enterprise editions, SMB signing is now required by default for all connections. This changes legacy behavior, where Windows 10 and 11 required SMB signing by default only when connecting to shares named SYSVOL and NETLOGON and where Active Directory domain controllers required SMB signing when any client connected to them. This is part of a campaign to improve the security of Windows and Windows Server for the modern landscape. You've read my posts on SMB security changes over the past year: The beginning of the end of Remote Mailslots (March 2023) SMB ins…

We've also updated the collection design so that there's more space for working with assets. When you open a collection, the assets inside will be listed on a f…
