Hello folks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are still seeing a lot of hybrid events, but with more people attending in-person it\u2019s almost starting to feel like the former days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Microsoft Build was held last month, and with AI being in the news a lot lately, Microsoft had a lot to share on the topic as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some key Build announcements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Personally, it\u2019s always exciting to watch Mark Russinovich go over Azure Innovations<\/a>. He spoke about the latest innovations in Azure architecture such as hollow-core fibre to optimise our WAN connections, and the AI workload-aware scheduler called Project Forge, a globally aware resource scheduler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kevin Scott, CTO & EVP of AI went over the Era of AI copilot and how Microsoft and the partnership with OpenAI\u2019s platform can help develop the next generation of AI apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Microsoft\u2019s Dev Box<\/a> is bringing the tools your developers need to be ready to go with cloud computing. In the age of hybrid work, a physical PC is no longer required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We always encourage learning, and after Build there\u2019s so much to catch up on. Be sure to check out this Microsoft Learn page<\/a> to join the Learn Cloud Skills challenge and earn a free certification voucher and see the other Build Learn Collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
