Azure This Week is your weekly news roundup for all things Azure. Join our expert hosts as they cover everything you need to know about the past week’s developments, keeping it short, fun and informative. Whether you’re just beginning your cloud journey, or you know your stuff, there’s something for everyone!
By now, cloud computing is not a new shiny thing. It isn't whirlwind journey of a constant stream of new products, and it certainly isn't niche. However, there are still some things that change and adapt. I'm Lars Klint. You are watching Azure This Week and this week I share my top predictions for 2023. As opposed to last week, my five predictions for 2023 aren't a top five, but more of a like equal five. I'll be starting with hybrid cloud computing. Now, many organizations are expected
to continue to adopt a hybrid cloud model, which allows them to use a mix of on-premises, private, and public cloud services to meet their specific needs. This can provide [inaudible]. This can provide greater flexibility and scalability as well as the ability to choose the most appropriate platform for different workloads and data. Hybrid is becoming more and more important as companies move gradually to the cloud, either with an aim to do it a hundred percent or just have certain services on it. As you will continue to invest in hybrid cloud services and products to make it as seamless as possible to move your llama party planner app to the cloud, including the llama decoration generator, the directory of llama-themed vendors, and the incredibly llama party social platform photo sharing thing. Yes, do it. Edge computing! With the proliferation of connected devices and the increasing amount of data being generated, there's a growing need for edge computing, which involves bringing computing power and storage closer to the data source. Now think sort of fruit quality data for each tree
in an orchard. Weather station observation data, live video streaming processing, and much more. Azure will create more hardware for running Azure services on the edge, and there will be more focus on moving data processing to the device that is collecting that data, such as an autonomous vehicle. It needs to know immediately what to do in any given scenario as it's well driving along and evaluating and reacting to the real world. If you want to know more about autonomous vehicles and edge computing, check out the first episode on my new podcast TECHnically Possible. I'll provide a link below. You like free stuff. Of course you do. So this month the free courses on the ACG platform
includes "Intro to Serverless on Azure" and "Managing Azure Resources with Ansible". There are more than that, but those two should be enough to have a go, right? Did I mention they're free? Sign up with only name and an email address and start learning straight away. Also, I've been told this, the AZ-900 Azure Fundamentals is still free too, and I hear the instructor is amazing. Anyway, use the links in the description. All right. My third topic is artificial intelligence and machine learning. Cloud computing has made it easier for organizations to access and
utilize advanced AI and ML technologies. And this trend is going to continue. These technologies can be used for a wide range of applications, including image and speech recognition, predictive maintenance, and personalized recommendations. Those are all pretty cool, actually. You should go play with it if you haven't. Hmm. Or this is my favorite. What about AI chat services? Like chatGPT, which wrote this joke: A cloud, a news show host, and a llama walk into a bar. The cloud starts to pour rain and the bartender says, "Hey, we don't want any of that bad weather in here". The new show host says, "Don't worry, I'll just turn on the lights and we'll have a
special report on it". The llama looks at them and says, "I'm just here for the alpaca- ccino". Okay. Okay. That might need some work. Do fake clapping or whatever. That'd be fine. All right. The fourth topic is containerization. Containers are a lightweight, portable way to package and deploy applications, and they're becoming increasingly popular in the cloud. They allow developers to easily move applications between different environments and can help to improve the efficiency and scalability of cloud-based applications.
Now we're going to see more focus on making containerizations your apps even easier and integrate these services with other Azure products, perhaps AI in containers? Hmm. And finally, number five, security. Ensuring the security of cloud-based systems and data is a top priority for many organizations, and Azure will continue to invest in, and improve, their security measures. We'll see much more investment in protecting against data breaches, such as securing the use of storage and VMs. Yeah, breaches. Hmm. Compliance with even more stringent regulations will make sure us cloud consumers and developers feel even safer using these services.
And I would personally love to see something that monitors access and permissions to Azure, Azure resources even more. Maybe, maybe AI, again can help us out? So what are your thoughts about 2023 and Azure? Let me know in the comments. Whatever happens, it will be another big year for Azure and cloud computing. It's the place to be in tech to learn new tools, skills, and be part of the future of technology development. That's it for me for this week at least. But if you're after much more cloud content,
why not subscribe to this channel, follow us on Twitter, or maybe even start your own llama-themed app on Azure. In any case, take care, do more cloud, and stay awesome Cloud Gurus.
