Kubernetes simplifies building and operating coordinated distributed systems. Often, this means scaling stateless web applications across nodes and cloud providers.

In this talk, we will discuss how to take advantage of the distributed primitives provided by Kubernetes to build a massively scalable online machine learning service on Azure.

Topics covered: - Fundamental Kubernetes constructs - Scheduling of scarce compute resources (GPUs) - Autoscaling based on application metrics - Implications of Kubernetes on service availability

Jordan Olshevski works on Azure Kubernetes Service at Microsoft, and has years of experience in the field of distributed systems and containers. Before coming to Microsoft, he helped build an enterprise-scale application runtime platform at Nike.

Join us Monday, July 30 at SoftSource for a technical presentation on Azure Logic Apps!

This presentation by Samuel Adranyi is a continuation of exploring the various Serverless solutions Microsoft Azure offers.

Logic App Service is an integration and workflow engine with per-built connectors to popular SaaS solutions like Salesforce, Dropbox, and Google services. Essentially it's an easy way to move data from Salesforce to Office 365 or to another cloud service.

A logic app begins with a trigger (like 'When an account is added to Dynamics CRM') and after firing can begin many combinations actions, conversions, and condition logic. Logic Apps is a great choice when orchestrating different Azure Functions in a process - especially when the process requires interacting with an external system or API.
