Improving reliability and introducing direct inking to Dynamics 365 Guides Drawing has been a universal form of communication and expression for millennia. From cave paintings to modern-day instruction manuals, the act of putting ink to a surface is a powerful tool for conveying ideas and information in a simple manner. Mixed reality technology takes this instinctual medium to unchartered territory by enabling users to annotate anywhere in their physical space. With Dynamics 365 Guides 8.0, we brought the power of ink to augmented reality, offering a unique way for remote participants to transfer their expertise by inking directly within a HoloLens (HL) operator's vi…

Object replication asynchronously copies block blobs between a source storage account and a destination account. Because block blob data is replicated asynchronously, the source account and destination account are not immediately in sync. There's currently no SLA on how long it takes to replicate data to the destination account. In some cases, you might need to check the replication status, in this article we will go over the different methods that you can use to check and monitor the object replication status for the storage account. Using Azure Portal To check the replication status for a blob in the source account in the Azure portal, follow these steps: …

Journey to Containers
by Guest saverioproto- 0 replies

The technology: what is a container? According to the Cloud Computing Dictionary a container is a standard unit of software that packages up code and all its dependencies so the application runs quickly and reliably from one computing environment to another. In Linux, a container is a sandboxed process isolated from all other processes on the host machine. That isolation leverages kernel namespaces and cgroups, features that have been in Linux for a long time. Docker has worked to make these capabilities approachable and easy to use. To summarize, a container: It is a runnable instance of an image. You can create, start, stop, move, or delete a container u…

Bitlocker is not resuming after reboot count has been reached
by Guest hewagen- 0 replies
- 0 views
Hi, I'm Helmut Wagensonner, a Cloud Solution Architect Engineer at Microsoft. Recently, I ran into an unexpected Bitlocker behavior at a customer. It turned out that this behavior is on purpose so I thought I let you know about it, even if you may never run into it. BitLocker is a feature in Windows 10/11 that encrypts your device’s hard drive to protect your data from unauthorized access. However, there are some scenarios where you may need to suspend BitLocker temporarily, such as when you update your BIOS or firmware using a vendor’s update utility. When you suspend BitLocker, you can specify how many times your device can restart before BitLocker resumes…

Why to consider synthetic data? Without any doubt, machine learning (ML) is one of the most transformative technological areas these days. Affordable cloud-based compute, complex and more efficient algorithms, plus accessible big data volumes helped to make incredible scientific breakthroughs in various fields and achieve (or even exceed) human parity with computer vision (CV) and natural language processing (NLP). Quality and variety of data is crucial to the machine learning’s generalisation and reliability of its outcomes. At the same time, there are certain situations where data may be rare or hard to find. E.g., NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center f…

Secure Linux Access Using Azure Virtual Desktop
by Guest John_Kelbley- 0 replies
- 0 views
I've heard time and time again that Azure Virtual Desktop does not support Linux VMs in Azure. I think that's really semantics, based on the realities of and complexities of Linux (so many distros / kernel version / management tools / access methods). While Azure Virtual Desktop does not itself provision or manage Linux VMs, it does a wonderful job of supporting secure access to those Linux VMs through publishing access tools for Linux on Windows! I know that many developers and testers love using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on Windows VMs via AVD, but that can be complex to install, and usually means users leverage personal (expensive!) VMs to support …
