\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n At the Data Science for IoT course at the University of Oxford<\/a> \u2013 I have been working on a strategy implementing Artificial Intelligence holistically on the Cloud and Edge. This is a complex approach with many new concepts to learn. One of the books I have learnt from is \u00a0\u201clearn azure in a month of lunches\u201d by Iain Foulds<\/a>. The great thing is: the whole book is free\u00a0 – pdf download – learn azure in a month of lunches<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A brief review follows:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Cloud brings many aspects together and thus changes the role of the Developer who wants to build scalable, secure applications. The developer now needs to understand the functions of IT operations including the functionality of (CICD and devops \u2013 in context of Azure<\/a>). Each Cloud platform implements similar concepts<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The book is readable in chunks of 45 mins per chapter(hence the name)<\/p>\n The book has four sections<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n PART 1 AZURE CORE SERVICES<\/p>\n PART 2 HIGH AVAILABILITY AND SCALE<\/p>\n PART 3 SECURE BY DEFAULT<\/p>\n PART 4 THE COOL STUFF<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n AZURE CORE SERVICES includes an understanding of github, creating a virtual machine, managing web apps etc<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n HIGH AVAILABILITY AND SCALE includes Azure Resource Manager,\u00a0 Infrastructure redundancy, oad-balancing applications etc<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n SECURE BY DEFAULT section includes Backup, recovery, replication, Encryption etc<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n And finally<\/p>\n THE COOL STUFF section includes Machine learning and artificial intelligence; Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Automation, Azure containers, Azure Kubernetes, Serverless computing<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Overall, this is a very readable book. I found it useful both for my teaching and for projects. And the fact its free is even better!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
