• Introducing the third of three Microsoft Clouds: Azure. 4 major sections of the Cloud Models are:
  • On-Premises: As you start on the left in the traditional on-prem configuration you are responsible for all layers of IT from the networking stack all the way up to the applications which are being provided. You may also be responsible for the data center, power, Internet service, and other underlying aspects.
  • Infrastructure as a Service: In IaaS (Take & Bake) the cloud vendor is responsible for the stack from networking through virtualization and your IT team is responsible for the Operating System (OS) through the applications. Common uses of IaaS are testing environments, development environments or hosting of a website.
  • Platform as a Service: In PaaS (Pizza Delivered) the cloud vendor is responsible for the networking layers through the runtime layer and your IT team is responsible for the data and the applications. PaaS is commonly used to test, build and deploy applications for an organization.
  • Software as a Service: In SaaS (Dining Out) the cloud vendor is responsible for all layers from the networking through to the application layer. A common example of SaaS is a web-based email service such as Outlook, Hotmail or Gmail.

Register applications in Azure AD. Authenticate apps and services

• ==agrenpoint.com: Azure AD & Microsoft Graph permission scopes, with Azure CLI== In this small post, we will look at a scenario where we want to register an Azure AD Application using specific scopes. When adding scopes for service principals using the Azure CLI we need to use the internal Ids. And one way would be to manually create one registration, get that app and then print out the scopes and then copy and paste.

• medium.com/medialesson: Assigning Azure built-in roles vs Azure AD built-in roles with Azure CLI Depending on what action you are trying to perform in Azure you might require either to be member of a certain Azure role or a certain Azure AD role. For example if we want an identity to create an app registration in Azure AD we need the role Application Administrator which is part of the Azure AD roles. When we want to create a resource in a certain resource group we need the Contributor role which is part of the Azure AD and typically scoped to a either a subscription, a resource group or a distinct resource.

Mobile Apps

• Visual Studio App Center VS Azure Pipelines
• itnext.io: How to setup CI CD pipelines for Android with Azure DevOps At Royale Cheese initially we had setup CI/CD for Android via Microsoft’s Visual Studio App Center (an upgrade of Hockey App), but last year they declared the retirement of MBaas which got us worried about the overall future of VS App Center. That was one of the reasons we wanted to switch away from it. Secondly, the free tier provided around 400 minutes of build time per month per account which would had been sufficient for other technologies, but Android takes around 15 minutes to create a single build and deploy. We all know what gradle is capable of 😉. So having multiple apps (both iOS and Android) in the same account didn’t fare well.

Data Ingestion. Azure Data Factory

• ==medium.com/codex: 7 Best Practices for Data Ingestion==
  • Data engineering is the practice of designing and building systems for collecting, storing, and analyzing data at scale.
  • Data Ingestion is defined as the process of absorbing data from a vast multitude of sources, and then transferring it to a target site where it can be analyzed and deposited.
  • A Data Engineer spends more than 50% of his time writing different pipelines that move data from one place to another. There are two basic frameworks to achieve the same:
    • ETL: Extract — Transform — Load
    • ELT: Extract — Load — Transform
  • However, in both the frameworks the common element is to be able to extract the data and load it into another destination. This is Data Ingestion.
  • On a broad categorization, there are mainly 3 types of Data Ingestion:
    • Batch-based Data Ingestion: Batch-based ingestion happens at a regularly scheduled time. The data is ingested in batches. This is important when a business needs to monitor daily reports, ex: sales reports for different stores. This is the most commonly used data ingestion use case.
    • Real-time/Streaming Data Ingestion:
      • The process of gathering and transmitting data from source systems in real-time solutions such as Change Data Capture (CDC) is known as Real-Time Data Ingestion.
      • CDC or Streaming Data captures any changes, new transactions, or rollback in real time and moves changed data to the destination, without impacting the database workload.
      • Real-Time Ingestion is critical in areas like power grid monitoring, operational analytics, stock market analytics, dynamic pricing in airlines, and recommendation engines.
    • Lambda-based Data Ingestion Architecture: Lambda architecture in Data ingestion tries to use the best practices of both batch and real-time ingestion.
      • Batch Layer: Computes the data based on the whole picture. This is more accurate however is slower to compute.
      • Speed Layer: Is used for real-time ingestion, the computed data might not be completely accurate, however, gives a real-time picture of the data.
      • Serving layer: The outputs from the batch layer in the form of batch views and those coming from the speed layer in the form of near real-time views get forwarded to the serving. This layer indexes the batch views so that they can be queried in low latency on an ad-hoc basis.
