The final video in the series showing you how production Docker deployments look in Azure.I take the same application I've used in the whole series and deploy it to a highly-available cluster of VMs running Docker. I use Docker Enterprise Editi
For this episode, I have created another chatbot that is aimed at helping factory workers to intervene on machines whenever they encounter operating problems. This factory comes with a specific jargon and workers are surrounded by permanent noi
Now that we built a chatbot using most of the NLP-related APIs and that we saw how to categorize incidents based on end users screenshots thanks to the custom vision service, it's time to see how to add speech to this bot! We'll see several fla
There is no reason to abandon standard software development practices with functions. In this episode, we explore how to build functions projects using Visual Studio Team Services.
In this episode, we play around with how to get unit tests running against functions. It can be slightly tricky!Here are the entries that need to be added to your testing .csprojhttps://gist.github.com/stimms/020ac8d26ee55512c68ba365764fc695
There is currently no request pipeline for function apps but we can create our own by leveraging aspect-oriented programming. In this episode, we explore how PostSharp can help make function applications more maintainable.
Different Azure services can be coupled together using functions as the glue. In this episode, we'll talk about how to couple together blob storage and table storage.
So far in this course, we mostly focused on NLP related APIs! It's now time to see how to use the power of Vision-related services. We'll start with a glance of vision-related services but the meat of this episode is to leverage the Custom Vis
So far in this course, we saw the high level AI concepts and we built a chatbot bound to a LUIS app. We also saw how to take advantage of the Linguistic Analysis API to perform natural search queries against external data sources. In this episo
The third video in the series showing you how to move existing .NET apps to Docker, so you can run them in Azure without any code changes.In Part 3 I push the Docker image which I built in Part 2 up to a private Docker registry, where I have fi
The second video in the series showing you how to move existing .NET apps to Docker, so you can run them in Azure without any code changes.In Part 2 I use the open-source PowerShell module, Image2Docker, to extract an ASP.NET 3.5 application fr
How do you take a .NET app running on Windows Server 2003 and move it to Azure? This is the first in a five-part series which shows you how to do it using Docker and Windows containers.Docker is an application platform that runs server apps in
So far in this course, we saw the high level AI concepts and we built a chatbot bound to a LUIS app. Our bot is already able to respond to IT-related questions and can tackle day-to-day conversations thanks to QnA Maker.While QnA Maker is a gre
In the 3 first episodes, we have been building a minimal chatbot and we created the LUIS app that fullfills the following purposes: the ability of handling casual chat with end users, the ability to respond to IT-related questions, the possibil
Episode 1 was about analyzing what's available in the Microsoft ecosystem in terms of artificial intelligence. In Episode 2, we setup the foundations to get us started with a minimal bot & we saw the typical steps involved in creating & consumi
Blob Storage is one of the foundational services in Azure. It is home to virtual machine disks and is integral to any service which wants to store data in a persistent and reliable fashion. It is also the last in our series on the various diffe
Event Hubs are the penultimate trigger type in Azure Functions. Designed to inject massive quantities of data from a large number of mobile or IoT devices Event Hubs find a useful companion in highly scalable Azure Functions.
Episode 1 was a global introduction to AI & Cognitive Services. Episode 2 is much more hands-on oriented and is aimed at building fundamental assets for the next episodes. You will learn how to get started with a minimal chatbot (that we'll reu
In this episode, Eric takes us through how to set up a schedule triggered function. We talk Slack integration and VSTS integration. Integrate all the things with Functions!
In this two part event John Craddock will show you how to create identity solutions using Azure Active Directory.In Part 1 you will learn how to build identity and authentication solutions for your users, this provides a mechanism to authentica
Episode 5 already? Yep! In this episode, we talk about service bus triggers and get a little sidetracked by looking at how the bindings in Functions are generated.
Storage Queues are one of the original services on Azure from way back in the day. They continue to be a great offering and now, with a function trigger, they become even more powerful. In this episode, we'll set up a storage queue and trigger
