A Deep Dive into Real-Time Intelligence

Image
In analytics, intelligence means using advanced methods to analyze data and create useful insights. This involves finding trends, patterns, and relationships in the data to help make decisions and plan strategies. It turns raw data into valuable and meaningful information. Real-Time Intelligence is a modern approach that uses data analytics and advanced tools to provide the most up-to-date and relevant insights instantly. It is widely used in areas like finance, crime prevention, and cybersecurity, helping organizations make timely and informed decisions. Data analytics (DA) is the process of examining data sets to find trends and draw. Data visualization is the practice of translating information into a visual context, such as map or graph. Fabric's Real-Time Intelligence solution offers a complete system for analyzing data in real time, seamlessly integrating with other Fabric services. It is highly efficient and can manage data of all sizes, from a few gigabytes to massive datas...

Getting Started with Bicep: Simplifying Infrastructure as Code on Azure

Image
Bicep is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) language that allows you to declaratively define Azure resources, enabling automated and repeatable deployments. It simplifies Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates by offering a streamlined, readable syntax while supporting Azure's full range of resources. Bicep scripts are best suited for scenarios involving Azure-specific infrastructure, such as deploying complex cloud environments, setting up multi-tier applications, managing infrastructure across multiple environments (dev, test, prod), and maintaining modularized resource definitions in larger Azure-based solutions.  Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL) for deploying resources in Azure, offering a simpler syntax than traditional JSON-based Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. It's part of Microsoft’s Infrastructure as Code (IaC) approach, enabling the deployment and management of Azure resources in a programmatic, repeatable way. # Benefits 1. Simplified Syntax: Easier to ...

Automate Your Infrastructure: Infrastructure as Code

Image
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code instead of manual processes. In the context of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), each term breaks down as follows: - Infrastructure : Refers to the underlying virtual and physical resources like servers, networks, and storage that support applications and services. - As : Indicates the concept of managing and provisioning infrastructure in a way similar to traditional code, using coding principles like version control and automation. - Code : Describes the process of defining infrastructure setup, configuration, and deployment using scripts and templates rather than manual processes, ensuring consistency and scalability.  # Key Features: 1. Automated Provisioning – Automatically creates and configures resources. 2. Consistency – Ensures consistent environments across deployments. 3. Version Control – Tracks changes, enabling easy rollbacks. 4. Scalability – Supports dynamic scaling an...

An Overview of Copilot: A Quick Insight

Image
In the 1950s, Alan Turing introduced the groundbreaking concept of Artificial Intelligence, revolutionizing his era. Today, as AI has surged in popularity, Microsoft has released several AI tools under the brand name "Copilot." While Copilot is commonly recognized as an AI chat assistant, it also includes specialized tools integrated into applications like Microsoft Word, Teams, and Excel. Copilot is a suite of generative AI tools designed for use within Microsoft applications. Leveraging advanced language models, Copilot interprets and translates user input to deliver tailored responses. It is integrated with Microsoft Graph, enabling it to access and utilize data from calendars, emails, chats, documents, and more to provide personalized and relevant assistance. Copilot is an evolving tool that was initially launched as Bing Chat on February 7, 2023, as an add-on for Bing and Microsoft's Edge browser. It is powered by OpenAI's advanced GPT-4 language model, serving a...

Demystify of cmdlets

Image
In the era of digitization, cloud is playing an important role in the software sector and Microsoft Azure has occupied a wide space in the cloud. While using Microsoft Azure, I have come across cmdlets. In first conversation, I believe it is another name for command prompt which is common use for window interaction, but gradually, I realized that cmdlets are different from command prompt. Let's start to dive deep. Microsoft Azure provides three different administrative tools to control, automate and monitor the Azure resources. The Azure portal The Azure CLI Azure PowerShell Because I'm going to discuss cmdlets, I'll highlight PowerShell. There are two command shells in the Windows operating system, the first command shell and the second PowerShell. Each shell contains software that provides direct communication between users and the operating system or application. A command shell is an input field in a text-based user interface screen for an operating system (OS) or progr...

Azure Service Bus : A Reliable Messenger for Microsoft Dataverse

Image
Data is essential to the business world, but data communication is equally important, as accurate data conveys important information about the business process and those data can be useful and effective, even giving it an advantage in business competitiveness. That's why business believes in data communication with accuracy. The communication between a computer and a software application is called Messaging . Messaging is a method of communication between software components or applications. Although there are many types of communication support by Microsoft Dataverse, event driven is important. In the previous article ( Webhook: A Unidirectional Business Event ), I talked about webhook, which communicate on an event basis. In the article, I am going to describe about Azure Service Bus. Microsoft Azure Service Bus is a cloud based Messaging as a Service  (MaaS) platform. When I started learning about Azure Service Bus, the first question that came to my mind. What is the use of thi...

Demystify of Azure Function Apps

Image
Cloud has changed the digital world and it gives a new way of digital transformation.  On premises stuff have been reached to hybrid, multilayer and type of cloud.  It has pioneered a new way of software design, developing, deploying and messaging our server and business solutions. The application hosting and execution platform includes a new concept called Serverless computing. Serverless computing is nothing, it is cloud computing execution model which cloud provider allocates machine/applications resources on demand without having manage servers. Azure Function Apps is a serverless computation service provided by Microsoft that can run code in response to predetermined events or conditions. It is one of the most popular services in Azure. They provide the ability to run pieces of code that are triggered by events or schedules. It automatically manages all the computing resources that those processes require. Azure Function Apps is an event-driven serverless compute platform...
