SQL Server v.Next - Data, analytics and artificial intelligence live event - April 19th, 2017

By
The IT landscape is changing every day. Nowadays it is more usual than ever to talk about data collecting, processing and visualization. If a few years ago we use to talk in TB of data, now PB is a normal data unit.
I remember than 10 years ago having a database that was bigger than 1GB it was acceptable, but not very common for small or medium company size. If we are looking now around us, a database of 20GB is a commodity. Anyone will think the database is to big or you need special hardware for it.
Security became now the biggest concern, where you persist data, what data you persist, who access what data are the questions that you need to face up.
5 years ago if you would say that you want to run SQL Server on Linux... it would be a joke, but look where we are not. We have SQL Server on Linux, we have containers, Docker and we see how Microsoft embrace the open source word.
We are exited to find out more about new features that SQL v.Next is preparing to us. It's not only about Linux support, this is just a small part. Features like:

  • In-memory OLTP
  • Columnstore
  • Always Encrypted
  • Transparent Data Encryption
  • Row-Level Security
  • Dynamic Data Masking

are the big things that are coming.

If you want to find more about this you can join the live event that will take place on April 19th. If you are from Cluj-Napoca, please join our meet-up event to find out what future is reserving to us.

Windows Docker Containers can make WIN32 API calls, use COM and ASP.NET WebForms

By
After the last post , I received two interesting questions related to Docker and Windows. People were interested if we do Win32 API calls from a Docker container and if there is support for COM. WIN32 Support To test calls to WIN32 API, let’s try to populate SYSTEM_INFO class. [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct SYSTEM_INFO { public uint dwOemId; public uint dwPageSize; public uint lpMinimumApplicationAddress; public uint lpMaximumApplicationAddress; public uint dwActiveProcessorMask; public uint dwNumberOfProcessors; public uint dwProcessorType; public uint dwAllocationGranularity; public uint dwProcessorLevel; public uint dwProcessorRevision; } ... [DllImport("kernel32")] static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO pSI); ... SYSTEM_INFO pSI = new SYSTEM_INFO(

Azure AD and AWS Cognito side-by-side

By
In the last few weeks, I was involved in multiple opportunities on Microsoft Azure and Amazon, where we had to analyse AWS Cognito, Azure AD and other solutions that are available on the market. I decided to consolidate in one post all features and differences that I identified for both of them that we should need to take into account. Take into account that Azure AD is an identity and access management services well integrated with Microsoft stack. In comparison, AWS Cognito is just a user sign-up, sign-in and access control and nothing more. The focus is not on the main features, is more on small things that can make a difference when you want to decide where we want to store and manage our users.  This information might be useful in the future when we need to decide where we want to keep and manage our users.  Feature Azure AD (B2C, B2C) AWS Cognito Access token lifetime Default 1h – the value is configurable 1h – cannot be modified
