Azure Friday

In this special episode of Azure Friday, a demo goes bad and WE KEEP ROLLING. We want you to learn as we learn. When a deployment fails, Scott and Guang step out of the demo and do some debugging and learn interesting things about Azure, Azure Websites, Git, and PowerShell. Also, much respect and a big shout out to Guang Yang who was a great sport for letting us share this teachable moment for us all!

Scott talks to Gaurav Malhotra about the Azure Data Factory, specifically how to monitor and manage large scale data workflows. When moving massive amounts of data through a data workflow managing each step and the health of the system can be overwhelming. Azure Data Factory has sophisticated tools for data ingress, health monitoring, and management.

Scott talks to Wee Hyong Tok on how to analyze huge amounts of data with Azure Data Factory. Specifically, he shows us how to create a customer "churn model" so a theoretical telco provider can better understand how their wireless customers "churn" - why they leave and how they can get them back.

The new Azure portal is getting better and better. Chandrika Shankarnarayan wows Scott with the new Essentials panel, Part Gallery and settings improvement.

Anand Subbaraj introduces Azure Data Factory, and explains why HDInsight users should adopt it to improve their reliability and maturity of their data analytics solution.

We expand on the last episode (Azure Service Bus Event Hubs 101) and demonstrate using an intelligent agent, EventProcessorHost, to scale out our telemetry processing. Dan Rosanova shows us the code and the techniques we need to know to pull in and process huge amounts of data.
