Millions of people use Azure AI Search every day without knowing it. You can enable your apps with the same search that enables retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capabilities when you build Custom GPTs or attach files in your ChatGPT prompts. Pablo Castro, Microsoft CVP and Distinguished Engineer Azure AI Search, joins Jeremy Chapman to share how with Azure AI Search, you can create custom applications that retrieve the most relevant information quickly and accurately, even from billions of records. Manage massive-scale datasets while maintaining high-quality search results with ultra-compact, binary quantized vector search indexes that use Matryoshka Representation Learning (MRL) and oversampling to equal the search accuracy of vector indexes up to 96 times larger. These approaches drive significant cost savings by optimizing your vector indexes without compromising quality. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - RAG powered by Azure AI Search 00:50 - Azure AI Search role in ChatGPT 02:01 - Azure AI Search use case - AT&T 03:27 - Start in Azure Portal 04:35 - Massive scale and vector index 06:08 - Scalar & Binary Quantization 07:21 - Martyoshka technique 09:07 - Oversampling 11:31 - How to build an app using Azure AI Search 13:00 - See it in action 14:28 - Enable binary quantization with oversampling 14:54 - Wrap up   ► Link References Get sample code on GitHub at https://aka.ms/SearchQuantizationSample  Check out search solutions at https://aka.ms/AzureAISearch   ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?  As Microsoft's official video series for IT, you can watch and share valuable content and demos of current and upcoming tech from the people who build it at Microsoft. • Subscribe to our YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MicrosoftMechanicsSeries • Talk with other IT Pros, join us on the Microsoft Tech Community: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-mechanics-blog/bg-p/MicrosoftMechanicsBlog • Watch or listen from anywhere, subscribe to our podcast: https://microsoftmechanics.libsyn.com/podcast   ► Keep getting this insider knowledge, join us on social: • Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MSFTMechanics  • Share knowledge on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft-mechanics/ • Enjoy us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/msftmechanics/ • Loosen up with us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@msftmechanics

In episode 193 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the Azure Center for SAP Solutions and how it helps you from the Azure Portal to create and operate SAP systems. We talked about integrating other Azure solutions like Azure Monitor or the Health Check with your SAP system. One cool thing that is availalble under the hood are APIs which allows you to fetch all this information from your SAP system. And this can actually be quite powerful. Trond Stroemme took these APIs and built a really neat Copilot scenario around it. Using the Azure AI Studio you can now build a simple Chat that allows you to interact with the Azure Center for SAP Solutions.

One of the things I've seen in working with cloud based resources is that you get a lot of them in your account quickly. A database might end up with a server, an IP address, a network, security groups, and more. A few clicks of the mouse in the Azure Portal can create a new Resource Group that doesn't just have the one thing you need, but 3, 4, or more other items. In addition to the quantity, there are also the problems of namespaces in cloud resources. Some of the items you provision are publicly named in a domain, such as database.windows.net. In these cases, the resources need to be unique among all cloud customers. Just like domain names, this means that you might have collisions with your favorite name. While I might like jones.com, there are a few other people that would likewise prefer this. The rest of us might have to choose jones2.com, stevejonesincolorado.com, or some other variation. In large organizations, you might end up with LA34532345454.database.windows.net for an Azure SQL Database. Read the rest of The Useful Cloud Tags

☠Azure AD fell down last week, causing outages with Microsoft's Cloud properties Outlook 365, Office 365, the Azure Portal, and Teams were all affected.​The root cause was a bug during key rotation, and I'll let the Azure Post Mortem team take it from here:Azure AD utilizes keys to support the use of OpenID and other Identity standard protocols for cryptographic signing operations. As part of standard security hygiene, an automated system, on a time-based schedule, removes keys that are no longer in use. Over the last few weeks, a particular key was marked as “retain” for longer than normal to support a complex cross-cloud migration. This exposed a bug where the automation incorrectly ignored that “retain” state, leading it to remove that particular key.Metadata about the signing keys is published by Azure AD to a global location in line with Internet Identity standard protocols. Once the public metadata was changed at 19:00 UTC on 15 March 2021, applications using these protocols with Azure AD began to pick up the new metadata and stopped trusting tokens/assertions signed with the key that was removed. At that point, end users were no longer able to access those applications.Service telemetry identified the problem, and the engineering team was automatically engaged. At 19:35 UTC on 15 March 2021, we reverted deployment of the last backend infrastructure change that was in progress. Once the key removal operation was identified as the root cause, the key metadata was rolled back to its prior state at 21:05 UTC.This is the second time in six months that Azure AD has gone down. This happened 6 months ago. These are growing pains for Microsoft's cloud endeavors, and the ops teams involved need #hugops. Microsoft being the "safe bet" for enterprises means in part being stable, and two enterprise outages in 6 months is a lot.

Have you used the biggest, most complex Single Page Application (SPA) in the world? It's the Azure Portal! Carl and Richard talk to Jakub Jedryszek, one of the folks building the framework that runs the Azure Portal. Jakub talks about the portal framework being built on TypeScript and Knockout so that all the different Microsoft teams building Azure products don't get delayed in delivery because they can't get on the portal. The challenge is to keep everything orderly so that folks using the Portal can actually make sense of it, and that takes a lot of negotiations and management within the teams. Software is hard, but expectation management is even harder!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/net-rocks/donations
