Simply your multicloud Kubernetes deployments, with Anthos, with a focus on running Anthos clusters on Microsoft’s Azure. Anthos on Azure provides a way to manage Kubernetes clusters that run on the Azure infrastructure with the Anthos Multi-Cloud API, link below to video, from Google Cloud Tech YouTube channel, on how to get started.

For today’s post, I would like to share a video from “Microsoft Developer,”  YouTube Channel. Talking about working with Azure SQL optimizing  for Virtual Machine storage, is a critical areas to focus on when architecting for performance with SQL Server, on a  Azure Virtual Machines.

Virtual machines have input/output operations per second and throughput performance limits based on the virtual machine type and storage limits. This is part one of this seven-part VM series, that cover how capping occurs at the virtual machine and storage levels and how caching can help remove the impact of  these performance limits, link below to the video.

For this post, I going to talk about a new service from Microsoft Azure Cloud, called Bicep, currently in preview. Bicep is a language for deploying Azure resources. You can use Bicep instead of JSON for developing your Azure Resource Manager templates (ARM templates).  Example of the differences from Bicep to JSON is below, when it comes to author a expressions, also declares a variables in Bicep.

To author an expression, and declare a variables in Microsoft Bicep:

 

                Bicep, you would write “func()”

                JSON, you would write "[func()]"

 

                Bicep, to declare a variable you would write “var demoVar = 'example value'

                JSON, to declare a variable you would write "variables": {"demoVar": "example value"},

 

Remember Bicep simplifies the coding experience by providing concise syntax, better support for code reuse, and improved type safety. Also Bicep is a domain-specific language (DSL), which means it's designed for a particular scenario or domain. Three link below with more information about s Microsoft Azure Cloud, Bicep
