Ziv Rafalovich joins Donovan Brown to introduce Azure Dedicated Host, which is a service that provides physical servers - able to host one or more virtual machines - dedicated to one Azure subscription.Dedicated hosts are the same physical servers used in our data centers, provided as a resource. You can provision dedicated hosts within a region, availability zone, and fault domain. Then, you can place VMs directly into your provisioned hosts, in whatever configuration best meets your needs.[04:48] DemoIntroducing Azure Dedicated Host (blog)Azure Dedicated Host overivewPreview: Deploy VMs to dedicated hosts using the Azure CLIPreview: Deploy VMs to dedicated hosts using the portalPreview: Deploy VMs to dedicated hosts using the Azure PowerShellAzure Dedicated Host pricingPreview: Azure Dedicated Hosts (docs)Create a free account (Azure)

Data integration is complex and has many moving parts that spans across hybrid data environments. Typically, data integration projects have dependencies upstream and downstream making dependencies an important aspect to consider in any job scheduling.Gaurav Malhotra joins Scott Hanselman to show how you can create dependent pipelines in Azure Data Factory by creating dependencies between tumbling window triggers in your pipelines. Using these dependencies assures you that the trigger is only executed after the successful execution of the dependent trigger in your data factory.Create a tumbling window trigger dependency docsAzure Data Factory overviewAzure Data Factory pricing(blog post mentioned at [07:16] not published  yet)Create a free account (Azure)

Michael Hansen joins Scott Hanselman to explain what FHIR is and how to get started with FHIR on Azure. Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (or, FHIR) is a new standard for representing and exchanging healthcare data. Developed by the HL7 community to address problems with interoperability, pieces of healthcare data are represented as resources in FHIR (i.e, a patient is a resource, observation is a resource, etc.). Resources are healthcare data objects with properties (e.g., a patient has a name) and relationships. The FHIR specification also describes how to exchange these objects using a REST API. A FHIR server is a REST API that enables you to search, retrieve, modify, and delete healthcare data objects. Microsoft developed a first-party FHIR server, which is available as an open source project on GitHub and as a managed service, Azure API for FHIR.Jump To:[04:30] Demo Start Azure API for FHIRAzure API for FHIR Preview docsmicrosoft/fhir-server (GitHub)microsoft/fhir-server-samples (GitHub)HL7 FHIR standards frameworkCreate a free account (Azure)
