Starting with Az v8.2.0 we are providing suggestions when PowerShell cannot find a command, as shown in the animated GIF. We not only detect typos, but also many other use cases such as when the required module is not installed. Azure PowerShell gives a suggestion against a typo in the command name. Use cases Typo For typos, Azure PowerShell tries to find commands that are similar to the input. If any are found, the candidates will be displayed as recommendations. To do this, we maintain a static table of mappings from all the commands to modules. The table ships with each release of Az.Accounts module. Because of this, no network requests ar…

Announcing Autoscale IOPS (Public Preview) for Azure Database for MySQL - Flexible Server
by Guest Bashar-MSFT- 0 replies
- 0 views
How many pre-provisioned IOPS does your workload need to run smoothly and efficiently? This seems like an easy question to ask but difficult to answer, given that if you over-provision the IOPS you’ll incur extra charges and if you under-provision it, it’ll cause some serious throttling and performance degradation. And the situation only gets trickier if your workload is unpredictable or bursty. While scaling IOPS after-the-fact doesn’t cause a server restart, scaling it manually becomes a tedious and tough task in the long run. With Azure Database for MySQL – Flexible Server, we’re on a mission to enable customers to bring their MySQL workloads with a minimal oper…

Azure Stream Analytics (ASA) uses a SQL query language that has been augmented with powerful temporal operators to analyze data streams. One way to optimize a Stream Analytics job’s performance is to leverage parallelism in query. A parallel job divides the workload of queries into multiple streaming nodes and reduces the overall execution time. We strongly recommend that you use the Azure Stream Analytics Tools extension in Visual Studio Code (VS Code) for testing and debugging queries locally. For a job to be parallel, you need to align partition keys between all inputs, query steps, and outputs. The Job Diagram Simulator in VS Code allows you to simulate a job…
