Learn how to manage and verify your users’ unique identity with authentication, to provide them a secure personal space in your Azure Static Web Apps.
Gain hands-on experience with running interactive queries using Azure Synapse SQL Serverless in this workshop.
In this lightboard video, Nigel Brown with IBM Cloud, answers this question and more.
He also breaks down why users should not just look at virtual machines and containers as competing technologies because there can be a lot of benefits of having them work together for particular use cases.
The Basic, Standard, and Premium service tiers fulfill a lot of customers’ needs.
For some customers, though, the General Purpose, Business Critical, and Hyperscale service tiers offer additional performance and ability that is required for certain workloads.
Even if you don’t require those abilities, the technology and infrastructure behind these are worth learning.
In this episode with Matt Gordon, we’ll discuss those service tiers as well as discussing the differences between Provisioned and Serverless deployments on the General Purpose tier. Come learn how to ramp up your Azure SQL Database experience!

Learn about two Azure services developers use to build fast and responsive applications.
First, Program Manager Thomas Weiss walks through the new serverless model for Azure Cosmos DB, the fast NoSQL database built to run mission-critical applications at any scale.
Then, take a tour of Azure Cache Redis, a fully managed cache service that helps applications scale as they gain more users.
Program Manager Carolina Uribe-Gosselin will share an overview of the service and the powerful new integration of Redis Enterprise in partnership with Redis Labs.

In this video by Traversy Media learn what serverless actually means
Azure Cosmos DB explains how there are new, cost-effective ways to run applications of any size and scale with Azure Cosmos DB.
Explore the standard and autoscale provisioned throughput offers available today for Azure Cosmos DB, and the new serverless offer that will become available very soon.
Choosing the right offer for your workload will help match performance and costs, and reduce – or eliminate – capacity planning and monitoring.

Automate and manage your cloud-native, hybrid, and even on-premises resources using PowerShell. Eamon O’Reilly, who’s leading the efforts at Microsoft for serverless automation, shows you how to get started.
If you’re new to Azure Functions, this is Microsoft’s event-driven serverless compute in Azure. You can execute code or a script, allowing you to automate rules, configuration, and processes. Because it’s on demand, you only pay for the exact time needed to run that function- right down to the second.
Think serverless is just for functions? Think again!
Brendan Burns joins Donovan Brown to look at how serverless containers can provide a cloud-native container experience without the worry of a server or operating system.
They also look at how this integrates with the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
