NeuroIntiative using GPUs to simulate drug tests for treatments for Alzheimer&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no one way to use Azure. Find the bits you want to use and deploy them in a good way that suits.<\/p>\n<h2>Infrastructure for Every Workload<\/h2>\n<p>54 announced regions. Availability Zones in US, Europe, and Asia, more regions coming soon.<\/p>\n<h2>New VM Portfolio<\/h2>\n<p>NDv2: 8 x NVIDIA Tesla V100 NVLINK GPUs, 40 Intel SkyLake cores, 672 GB RAM, AI, ML, and HPC workloads.<\/p>\n<p>NVv2: Tesla M60 GPU. Premium SSD suppor, up to 448 GB RAM, CAD, Gaming 3D design<\/p>\n<p>HB: Highest memory bandiwidth in the cloud. 60 AMD EPYC cores, 100 Gbps Infiniband. Memory bandwidth intensive HPC workloads.<\/p>\n<p>HC: Up to 3.7 Ghz clock speed. 44 Intel SkyLake cores, 100 Gbps Infiniband. CPU intensive HPC workloads.<\/p>\n<h2>Storage<\/h2>\n<p>200 trillion objects. 160 trillion transactions per month.<\/p>\n<p>Standard SSD is GA. Ultra SSD in preview \u2013 sub millisecond latency, up to 160,000 IOPS and 2,000 MB\/s throughput.<\/p>\n<p>A demo of Ultra SSD. Opens up an E64s_v3 VM with Ultra SSD. Run IOMETER. Gets nearly 80,000 IOPS and .6 millisecond latency. That&#8217;s a single disk! Now for demo 2 with a new VM type. Runs IOMETER. Gets 161,000 IOPS on a single ultra SSD without striping or caching &#8211; durable writes. Double the performance of the competition.<\/p>\n<p>There will be a single VM SLA for VMs running Ultra SSD.<\/p>\n<h2>Networking<\/h2>\n<p>100,000 miles of fibre to connect the 54 regions with 130+ edge sites.<\/p>\n<p>ExpressRoute Global Reach allows you to connect your connections together to use the MS WAN as your WAN. Virtual WAN is GA. Front Door uses those edge as a globally available secure entry point to web services in Azure. And Azure ExpressRoute Direct offers 100 Gbps connections to Azure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post\">\n<div class=\"body\">\n<div id=\"1125e8e6-57c0-4d36-a4b0-941878280b90\" class=\"postBody\" contenteditable=\"true\">\n<h2 align=\"left\">SAP<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">24 TB RAM physical machines. 12 TB RAM VMs on the way. 20+ certified solution architectures on Azure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Containers<\/h2>\n<p align=\"left\">Reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Agility<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Portability<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\">Density<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>Rapid Scale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A new feature in Kubernetes (K8s) to allow burst capacity based on Azure Container Instances called Virtual Node. The node is a VM that can be loaded up with ACIs when demand spikes. You get per-second billing to deal with unusual loads.<\/p>\n<h2>Hybrid<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft offers the only true consistent hybrid experience. Azure Stack, DevOps, data, AD, and security\/management.<\/p>\n<p>A key piece of this is Windows Server 2019, which has hybrid built in. Hybrid: Azure Backup, ASR, Storage Migration Services, Azure Network Adapter<\/p>\n<p>Erin Chapple comes out to demo Windows Admin Center.<\/p>\n<h2>Windows Server 2008\/R2<\/h2>\n<p>End of life coming January 2020, and for SQL Server on July 9, 2019. If you migrate these to Azure, you&#8217;ll get 3 years of free security fixes &#8211; you&#8217;ll have to pay if you stay on-premises.<\/p>\n<h2>Edge<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft has announced availability of the first Azure Sphere dev kit.<\/p>\n<p>Data Box Edge is also announced. You can pre-process data on-prem before moving it to the cloud. It has FPGAs (or whatever) built in.<\/p>\n<p>Azure Stack will support more nodes in the coming weeks. Event hubs and Blockchain deployment coming in preview this year.<\/p>\n<h2>Security &amp; Management<\/h2>\n<p>Starts with the physical and software security of Azure and extends out to the edge and on-premises. 1.2 billion devices and 750,000 user authentications offer a lot of data for analysis.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>85+ compliance offerings.<\/li>\n<li>40+ industry specific regulated offerings<\/li>\n<li>Trusted, responsible, and inclusive cloud<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>New announcements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Confidential computing is a new series of VMs &#8211; DC-Series. The data is protected even from Azure when being processed by the CPU.<\/li>\n<li>Azure Firewall is GA.<\/li>\n<li>Azure Security Center improvements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Governance<\/h2>\n<p>Governance normally restricts and slows down. Azure Policy doesn&#8217;t slow you down. A new addition, Blueprints, plans out deployments that are known and trusted. DevOps can deploy a blueprint to stay within the guardrails. It&#8217;s ARM template + Policy, resource group(s), and RBAC.<\/p>\n<p>In a demo, we see a new Azure Policy feature &#8211; the ability to remediate variance.<\/p>\n<h2>Migration<\/h2>\n<p>CTO of JB Hunt, Gary Downy comes on stage. A trucking company that also does last mile and rail transport. Facing disruptive technologies such as driver-less and a shortage of drivers. They had on-prem systems but they wouldn&#8217;t scale with the business. Now they use Azure DevOps, Git, and Kubernetes for most of their systems.<\/p>\n<p>Start with assessment. Then migrate. Then optimize and transition into management &amp; security (ownership).<\/p>\n<p>Tools:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Azure Migrate now supports Hyper-V and VMware.<\/li>\n<li>Azure Database Migration Service which does Azure SQL, MySQL, PostreSQL, and MongoDB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Corey Sanders 95% of Fortune 500 building on Azure.
