Open source is the foundation for AI and, as AI workloads scale, developers need that foundation to be more secure, more predictable, and easier to build apps and agents.
For Microsoft’s internal teams and external customers, we store datasets that span from a few GBs to 100s of PBs in our data lake. The scope of analytics on these datasets ranges from traditional batch-style queries (e.g., OLAP) to explorative ”finding the needle in a haystack” type of queries (e.g., point-lookups, summarization).
Today, we’re announcing Azure Service Operator―an open source project we’ve been working on in collaboration with a handful of customers to expose several Microsoft Azure services as Kubernetes operators. As we’ve seen Kubernetes adoption grow exponentially, we’ve also seen an increasing desire from customers to manage their resources exclusively through the Kubernetes control plane.
SandDance, the open source data visualization tool from Microsoft Research, is launching several new features in version 3. Facets on all chart types We’ve added much more control to faceted data. All chart types now have the Facet By column feature.
Join us next Tuesday, June 23, for Camp Cloud Native! Previously known as Cloud Native eParty, the free live virtual event is focused on the cloud native ecosystem, with a focus on education and fun! The 12-hour event will span from 5am PT to 5pm PT.
On behalf of HashiCorp and Microsoft, I am excited to announce the release of Azure DevOps Provider 0.0.1 for Terraform. With this provider, you will be able to manage Azure DevOps resources like projects, CI/CD pipelines, and build policies through Terraform.
In March of this year, the Open Application Model (OAM) specification reached the second draft milestone of the spec, dubbed v1Alpha2.
The Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) project is growing rapidly are we’re grateful for all the community support and customer feedback. While working with customers building business applications, we find that one of the most frequent needs is the ability to schedule, automate, and orchestrate business processes. This is often called a business workflow.
ONNX Runtime is an open source project that is designed to accelerate machine learning across a wide range of frameworks, operating systems, and hardware platforms. It is used extensively in Microsoft products, like Office 365 and Bing, delivering over 20 billion inferences every day and up to 17 times faster inferencing.
The code for a new open source differential privacy platform is now live on GitHub. The project is jointly developed by Microsoft and Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science (IQSS) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) as part of the OpenDP initiative.
A Kubernetes cluster requires compute resources to run applications and these resources may need to increase or decrease depending on the application requirements. This typically falls under the category of “scaling” and can be broadly divided into cluster and application scaling.
The Open Compute Project (OCP) Global Summit, kicking off virtually on May 12, is where a vibrant and growing community will come together to help grow, drive, and support the open hardware ecosystem.
Yesterday, Helm became a graduated project in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), joining a select group of projects that the CNCF recognizes for achieving majority adoption by the cloud-native community.
