Just recently I attended Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft’s annual flagship technology conference with a focus on cloud and developers. The key theme this year was around “Tech Intensity” that Satya also talked about on LinkedIn earlier this year. Here is a quote from the LinkedIn post: There are two aspects to tech intensity: First, every organization will need to be a fast adopter of best-in- class technology, and equally important, they will need to build their own unique digital capabilities, which starts with workers who are deeply knowledgeable about the latest technology. I think of tech intensity as being an equation – (tech adoption) ^ tech capabilities = tech intensity – and as a company Microsoft is focused on providing the inputs to help our customers solve it. ...

One of the things I am very interested in is the .NET stack and especially the .NET Core platform. In this blog post I want to briefly highlight what it takes to get a sample .NET Core application up and running on Azure and how to use New Relic’s Application Performance Monitoring (APM) to monitor this application. Please note: while I am writing this, the latest version of .NET Core SDK is .NET Core 2.0 Preview 2; dependent upon how you get the SDK, there is already a preview 3 of the .NET Core CLI out there, but this is currently not supported on Azure. You can check for support by using a Developer Console (Developer Tools –> Console of an Azure App Service) within the Azure portal and navigate to D:\Program Files (x86)\dotnet\sdk. ...

I have just recently watched the keynote sessions of the current dockercon'16. It’s been very interesting and eye-opening. You can still watch the recordings here: https://2016.dockercon.com/ (original URL https://2016.dockercon.com/). I do use Docker for some internal infrastructure deployments. It enables me to efficiently use a broad set of different application servers that form a deployment scenario for a complete solution. One of the key themes I heard from the Docker conference are the topics around application modernization. This is quite interesting since one wouldn’t connect Docker with transformations of business applications to modern environments. I do think that the major theme of Docker makes sense and it is a viable approach to modernizing business applications. At least it helps to migrate these applications from one platform to another. ...
