What is CI / CD Pipeline in Azure DevOps?

In the process of learning Azure DevOps, you’ll face numerous challenges, but the most sophisticated of them is setting up the CI Pipeline to work appropriately.

The pivotal point is the Azure Pipelines Agent that establishes and monitors connection with the machine running the DevOps CI Pipeline. Though it is a regular practice, the procedure has its peculiarities. The current tutorial will focus on them and explain how to choose the Azure DevOps CI Pipeline agent and how to configure it correctly.

How to install SQL Server vNext and Azure data studio on Ubuntu 18.04

December 13, 2019December 13, 2019 Nisarg Upadhyay Leave a comment

Azure data studio is a cross-platform database management tool. This tool is used to connect, configure, and administrate SQL Server instances installed locally or in the cloud. This tool can be installed on the following operating systems:

Microsoft Windows
Linux
- Redgate
- Debian
- Ubuntu
macOS

Initially, Microsoft introduced this tool as the “SQL Server operations studio.” Later they renamed it Azure Data Studio. You can get more information about it here.

In this article, I am going to explain the step-by-step installation process of SQL Server 2017 and Azure data studio on Ubuntu. I have divided the article into two parts. Firstly, we will install SQL Server 2017, and later I will explain the process of installing Azure Data Studio. For demonstration purposes, I have created a virtual machine and installed Ubuntu 18.04 on it. You can download Ubuntu here. Read More

Applying SQL Transformations and Handling Missing Values in Azure ML

October 16, 2019October 23, 2019 Ben Richardson Leave a comment

In this article, we will introduce SQL transformations in action. We will also see how to handle missing values in our dataset.

Consider a scenario of a movie rating dataset containing records of different movies along with the average user ratings associated with each movie. The ratings are in numeric form ranging from 1 to 10 with 1 as the lowest rating and, respectively, 10 as the highest rating (though no movie in the history has achieved 10 rating:). Suppose that we want to convert the numeric ratings into categorical ratings. For instance, we want to replace ratings of 1-3 with the categorical value “poor”, of 4-6 with “average” while ratings of 7-10 will have the value “good”. We can accomplish it with SQL transformation in Azure ML Studio. Read More

How to Test Azure Web Application Performance through Microsoft Azure and Visual Studio

October 23, 2018November 6, 2018 Amarendra Babu Leave a comment

Before deploying your application into production, doing a performance load test is imperative for measuring future performance and ensure that your application is production-ready.

Testing is essential for every application to make sure that any application works and performs according to the desired requirements. During the application testing process, we can attempt and find out if any imperfections are remaining in the application. There are numerous sorts of testing like functional testing, unit testing, acceptance testing, and integration testing. We compose Functional and UI tests to see whether the application is working as per the requirements. Read More

Introduction

Azure is growing every day. Microsoft created Azure, which is a Cloud Computing service released on 2010.

According to Microsoft, 80% of the fortune 500 companies are using Azure. Also, 40% of the Azure Revenue comes from Startups and independent software vendors. 33% of the Azure Virtual Machines are using Linux. Microsoft expects to earn $20 billion in 2018.

That is why companies are migrating part of the data to Azure and sometimes all the data.

Azure Data Lake is a special storage to analyze Big Data in parallel in Azure. It is optimized for analytics. You can store Social network data, emails, documents, sensor information, geographical information and more.
