Most of the time, your apps are running happily and healthily. However, when things go wrong, you can use Genie and Navigator in App Service Diagnostics to figure out what's wrong. Jen Lee joins Scott Hanselman to show how the App Service Diagnostics interactive interface (Genie) guides you intelligently through the self-troubleshooting experience. Navigator, enables you to find potentially breaking changes to your app and its dependencies.[0:00:54] - DemoAzure App Service diagnostics overviewNavigator now provides dependency mapping and change analysis in App Service DiagnosticsProvide feedback on App Service DiagnosticsAzure App ServiceBakery Web App Template (GitHub repo)Create a free account (Azure)

Gaurav Malhotra joins Scott Hanselman to show how wrangling data flows in Azure Data Factory empower you with a code-free, serverless environment that simplifies data preparation in the cloud and scales to any data size with no infrastructure management required. It uses the industry-leading Power Query data preparation technology (also used in Power Platform dataflows, Excel, and Power BI) to prepare and shape the data. Built to handle all the complexities and scale challenges of big data integration, wrangling data flows enable use Apache Spark execution to help you easily prepare data at scale.[0:02:00] - DemoWrangling data flows docsPower QueryAzure Data Factory overviewAzure Data Factory docsCreate a free account (Azure)

Container startup time is the price of admission, but startup time is also an inhibitor for many serverless scenarios. Steve Lasker joins Lara Rubbelke to show how Project Teleport eliminates the download and decompression of layers by directly mounting expanded layers, potentially unlocking many new scenarios.[0:02:13] - DemoAzure Container Registry Adds Teleportation blog postTeleport Preview sign-up formAzure Container Registry overviewAzure Container Registry docsCreate a free account (Azure)

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are rampant and it's not a question of if a business will be impacted but when. Anupam Vij shows Scott Hanselman how Azure DDoS Protection Standard can protect your applications against targeted DDoS attacks and why it is critical for every business running in Azure to use the service to enhance their security posture. If your protected applications are under attack, Azure DDoS Protection Standard provides an SLA guarantee and cost protection.[0:06:20] - DemoAzure DDoS ProtectionAzure DDoS Protection Standard overviewAzure DDoS Protection - Designing resilient solutionsHoliday season is DDoS season blog postAzure Networking productsCreate a free account (Azure)

Aman Bhardwaj and Yaron Schneider join Scott Hanselman to talk about the actor model of Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr).
