Announcing Azure Functions extension for Dapr
We’re excited to announce a new extension for Azure Functions that lets a function seamlessly interact with Dapr for building cloud-native applications. Azure Functions provides an event-driven programming model and Dapr provides a set of essential cloud-native building blocks.
Hyperspace, an indexing subsystem for Apache Spark™, is now open source
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).
Announcing Azure Service Operator for Kubernetes
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.
What’s new in SandDance 3
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.
See you at camp…virtual Cloud Native Camp that is!
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.
Announcing the Azure DevOps Provider for Terraform
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.
The Open Application Model reaches a new milestone with v1Alpha2 and Crossplane
In March of this year, the Open Application Model (OAM) specification reached the second draft milestone of the spec, dubbed v1Alpha2.
Announcing cloud-native workflows using Dapr and Logic Apps
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.
Announcing accelerated training with ONNX Runtime—train models up to 45% faster
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.
Introducing the new differential privacy platform from Microsoft and Harvard’s OpenDP
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.
Scaling Kubernetes: Intro to Kubernetes-based event-driven autoscaling (KEDA)
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.
Accelerating open source and hardware innovation to meet data and security demands
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.
