In this fascinating interview, recorded at Microsoft //Build 2019, I talk with Sharad Agrawal,  Program Manager at Microsoft about Azure Front Door. This remarkable service fronts some of the largest web properties on the planet, including Xbox, Bing, Teams, and Azure DevOps, serving millions of requests per second. Azure Front Door is now generally available to all customers, offering a truly global Layer-7 Load-balancer with Web Application Firewall, DDOS protection, automatic SSL certificate management and  much more. Sit back and enjoy as Sharad takes us deep into this service and the Microsoft global network that powers it. As always, Sharad and I are employees of Microsoft and our opinions are our own.

Dan Rosanova

Craig Loewen

At Microsoft //Build 2019 I spent time talking to some of the people who build the products and services that run on Azure and on Windows. In this Build Special I combine two interviews; the first with Dan Rosanova, Group Program Manager for Azure Messaging, and the second with Craig Loewen, Program Manager  for Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). But first let's hear Dan Rosanova talk about two of the amazing messaging services provided by the Azure Platform: Azure Service Bus and Event Hubs, including recently announced Availability Zone (AZ) support and Azure Event Hubs for Apache Kafka. Next we hear from Craig Loewen from the Windows Subsystem for Linux team - yes, you heard right! For three years now Microsoft have been shipping a Linux Subsystem in Windows 10 which means you can use many Linux commands at the command line inside Windows. Pretty mind-blowing stuff in 2016! But now that all seems par for the course as at Microsoft //Build 2019 we announced that, this year, we will ship a full Linux Kernel in Windows 10 as part of the major improvements in the next version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux - WSL2. Here's Craig to tell us all about it. Show links:  What  is Azure Service Bus?

Divya Sangar

Divya Sangar started her career in Fiji doing Dialup Internet and PABX installations (when we used to connect customers by hand, crimping on to the MDFs). Now she works on one of the largest private owned fibre networks in the world, the Microsoft Azure Global Network. In this episode Divya takes us on her journey from Network Engineer to Global Networking Blackbelt, unraveling mysteries along the way of this fascinating area of computing that enables distributed services to operate at truly global scale. We also talk about the recently launched ExpressRoute Edge Node in Auckland, which allows  New Zealand customers to connect locally to the global Azure network, reducing the costs of internetworking with our Australian Azure Regions and the world. The ExpressRoute Edge Node in Auckland is a first for New Zealand, unlocking new Network Services including Azure Front Door, ExpressRoute Global Reach and Virtual WAN.

In this episode Dan picks Matt's brain on "Serverless" and what is in a name - what does Serverless really mean? And where are all the servers? In this wide-ranging talk we discuss which workloads suit Serverless technologies, common programming languages and frameworks including the new Azure Functions Runtime 2.0, and the radidly expanding range of services that fall into the serverless category: Azure Functions, Open FaaS (Functions as a Service), Serverless Databases (!) and global platform services that present as "serverless" including Cosmos DB, Azure Event Grid, Event Hubs and more!

In this episode Dan picks Matt's brain on "Serverless" and what is in a name - what does Serverless really mean? And where are all the servers? In this wide-ranging talk we discuss which workloads suit Serverless technologies, common programming languages and frameworks including the new Azure Functions Runtime 2.0, and the radidly expanding range of services that fall into the serverless category: Azure Functions, Open FaaS (Functions as a Service), Serverless Databases (!) and global platform services that present as "serverless" including Cosmos DB, Azure Event Grid, Event Hubs and more!

Azure Governance, a developer's perspective

It's really easy to get started quickly and go fast with Azure. But what happens when the business starts asking for compliance, security and cost control? In the past this has meant slowing down and implementing large and complex governance frameworks. But now you can have control and go fast with a suite of Azure Governance services and features that were announced at Ignite 2018: Azure Blueprints, Resource Graph, Management Groups and Azure Policy (ARM Policies). In this talk, Daniel Larsen (Technical Evangelist at Microsoft) will demonstrate the new Azure Governance features in the Azure Portal and CLI (Command line interface), and how to quickly implement pragmatic and sensible policies and controls that keep the business happy without slowing developers down. These great new features have drawn from field experience with some of Azure's largest customers, so that everyone can benefit from the right amount of control and go fast.
