The presentation concludes with practicing modeling data for example transactional applications like a blog, online store, and refrigeration trucks.
Move a successful onpremise oltp application to the cloudIke Ellis
This document discusses preparing to move a legacy on-premises SQL Server application to Azure. It recommends:
1. Decoupling the database from the server name and database names to allow future changes.
2. Making the database smaller by deleting old data, unused indexes, and moving BLOBs to Azure storage.
3. Defragging and shrinking the database, implementing compression, and moving the backup process to Azure.
4. Migrating SQL Server to an Azure VM as the first step, choosing appropriate VM sizes and premium SSD disks for performance. Further steps will break the database into microservices and move components to Azure PaaS offerings.
Azure Databricks is Easier Than You ThinkIke Ellis
Spark is a fast and general engine for large-scale data processing. It supports Scala, Python, Java, SQL, R and more. Spark applications can access data from many sources and perform tasks like ETL, machine learning, and SQL queries. Azure Databricks provides a managed Spark service on Azure that makes it easier to set up clusters and share notebooks across teams for data analysis. Databricks also integrates with many Azure services for storage and data integration.

So You've Lost Quorum: Lessons From Accidental DowntimeScyllaDB
The best thing about databases is that they always work as intended, and never suffer any downtime. You'll never see a system go offline because of a database outage. In this talk, Bo Ingram -- staff engineer at Discord and author of ScyllaDB in Action --- dives into an outage with one of their ScyllaDB clusters, showing how a stressed ScyllaDB cluster looks and behaves during an incident. You'll learn about how to diagnose issues in your clusters, see how external failure modes manifest in ScyllaDB, and how you can avoid making a fault too big to tolerate.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Facilitation Skills - When to Use and Why.pptxKnoldus Inc.
In this session, we will discuss the world of Agile methodologies and how facilitation plays a crucial role in optimizing collaboration, communication, and productivity within Scrum teams. We'll dive into the key facets of effective facilitation and how it can transform sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. The participants will gain valuable insights into the art of choosing the right facilitation techniques for specific scenarios, aligning with Agile values and principles. We'll explore the "why" behind each technique, emphasizing the importance of adaptability and responsiveness in the ever-evolving Agile landscape. Overall, this session will help participants better understand the significance of facilitation in Agile and how it can enhance the team's productivity and communication.
An All-Around Benchmark of the DBaaS MarketScyllaDB
The entire database market is moving towards Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), resulting in a heterogeneous DBaaS landscape shaped by database vendors, cloud providers, and DBaaS brokers. This DBaaS landscape is rapidly evolving and the DBaaS products differ in their features but also their price and performance capabilities. In consequence, selecting the optimal DBaaS provider for the customer needs becomes a challenge, especially for performance-critical applications.
To enable an on-demand comparison of the DBaaS landscape we present the benchANT DBaaS Navigator, an open DBaaS comparison platform for management and deployment features, costs, and performance. The DBaaS Navigator is an open data platform that enables the comparison of over 20 DBaaS providers for the relational and NoSQL databases.
This talk will provide a brief overview of the benchmarked categories with a focus on the technical categories such as price/performance for NoSQL DBaaS and how ScyllaDB Cloud is performing.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

Azure & AI Conference
3. let’s get pricing out of the way
Power BI Desktop – Free to use and share
Still needs Power BI Pro to publish
5. All things being equal, when is power bi premium
worth it? Well, at the lowest tier
• 500 users who view reports in the portal. $10 per user per month
• 1,000 users who view: $5 per user per month
6. Examples
1) If an organization consists of 200 total users – 50 are engaging in self-service BI, while the remaining 150 are limited
to viewing BI content – Power BI Pro is the most economical deployment option for all users within the organization.
2) However, if the organization consists of 700 total users – 100 are engaging in self-service BI, while the remaining 600
occasionally view BI content – the most economical deployment option would be to license Power BI Pro for the 100
users engaging in self-service BI and to license Power BI Premium for the 600 seeking occasional access to view BI
content.
7. Dedicated capacity
• The Power BI Service (portal) is a
shared resource
• Makes performance inconsistent
• Cheaper
• Power BI Premium means having your
own Power BI server, with dedicated
compute (CPU) and memory
• Surprises me that people who spend
$250,000 in SQL Server licensing
complain about Power BI Premium
costs
8. Early use of new features
Microsoft has stated that features will be released in Power BI Premium
BEFORE Power BI Professional
This could be considered a huge competitive advantage
9. Power BI Report Server
• Power BI reports and SSRS reports
completely within an organization’s
firewall
• The same number of virtual cores
provisioned in the cloud can also be
deployed on-premises with Power BI
Report Server – without the need to split
the capacity
• providing the freedom to move to the
cloud at your pace.
18. Incremental refresh advantages
• Refreshes are faster
• Refreshes are more reliable - It's no longer necessary to maintain long-
running connections to volatile source systems.
• Resource consumption is reduced - Less data to refresh reduces overall
consumption of memory and other resources.
22. Paginated reports
• based on Report Definition Language in SQL Server Reporting Services.
• not the same as Power BI Report Server
• using the free Power BI Report Builder Windows Desktop application,
• Paginated reports are a workload that must be enabled for a capacity by using
the Admin portal
24. Power BI Embedded
• Pausable
• Billable hourly
• Cheaper
• No Power BI Service (Portal) for viewers
• Deploy to SharePoint or a custom portal written by
developers
• Similar to Premium
26. Azure Analysis Services
• Both Power BI Premium and AAS have incremental refresh
• Also pausable – can keep costs very, very low
• AAS is around $500 a month PBI Premium AAS
29. Future Features
• Data Lineage
• Data Protection
• Datasets larger than 10GB in Premium
• Historical Capacity Metrics
• Power BI Home Customization
• XMLA Read/Write Endpoint (Read is GA, Write in
Preview)
• SSMS Connectivity
• Excel
• Profiler
