In episode 208 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about security!Sentinel for SAP has been around for quite some time now. It is even certified for RISE with SAP and we see a lot of interest by customers in the additional protection that Sentinel can provide for their SAP system. Speaking of SAP Systems - a lot of customers are using the SAP Business Technology Platform, to leverage Integration Suite, SAP Fiori or SAP Build services and of course also AI core services. Just a few weeks back the Microsoft Sentinel for SAP BTP solution went also General Availability, which means that now you can also detect attacks on BTP with Sentinel. To help us understand more about the features I am happy to have Will King, Yossi Hasson and Martin Pankraz with us today.

Salesforce has announced the general Availability of Einstein Copilot - the conversational AI assistant for CRM - along with new capabilities designed to enhance seller productivity and scale adoption of generative AI. Introducing new sales actions For 25 years, Salesforce has been helping sales teams find, win, and keep customers across every facet of the sales cycle - from prospecting and activity tracking, to forecasting and revenue operations - all of which can be tailored to your business through customisable metadata. Salesforce is using this wealth of experience to collapse the most common and valuable seller processes into conversational AI interactions grounded on your business-specific data and metadata and delivered at scale through new analytics and testing tools. A key component of this metadata, and unique to Einstein Copilot, are Copilot Actions - pre- programmed capabilities that enable Einstein Copilot to not only answer questions using your business data, but also string together workflows to get things done on behalf of your users. Today, Salesforce is increasing their library of actions with new capabilities where sellers can benefit from conversational AI directly in Sales Cloud. Instead of navigating to a bespoke AI tool disconnected from their CRM, reps can simply open up Einstein Copilot and ask for a personalised close plan, insights on why an opportunity may not close in the month, or to check if pricing was discussed on a recent call - which means more time focused on the customer, and less sifting through data and screens. And because Einstein Copilot includes a reasoning engine that can interpret user requests and dynamically automate tasks from a library of actions, every new action expands the breadth of use cases it can support - and it does so without the need to train or fine-tune a large language model (LLM). Dive deeper into what's new Einstein Copilot now includes new sales actions for boosting seller productivity across an array of cross- functional use cases: Close Plans: To accelerate time to close, sales reps and managers can have Einstein Copilot create a grounded, personalised close plan for an opportunity - with step-by-step tactics based on historical opportunity and account data as well as recommended dates of action. Forecast Guidance: Sales managers can understand and de-risk forecasts through Einstein Copilot, asking questions such as "What deals are at risk?" and getting a summarised list of deals that could explain why a rep might not hit their quota, as well as top reasons for why those deals were chosen, such as their close date or lack of recent activities. Call Explorer: Using retrieval augmented generation (RAG), which enables companies to use their structured and unstructured proprietary data to make AI more trusted and relevant, sales reps can query prior call transcripts captured in Einstein Conversation Insights, asking questions such as "What was the customer sentiment on this call?" and getting a semantically relevant answer scoped just to that call to avoid hallucinations. Follow-Up Emails: To facilitate deal progression, reps can have Einstein Copilot craft customised follow-up emails, based on prior calls - helping move deals along. Einstein Copilot in Sales Cloud Everywhere: Take Einstein Copilot everywhere you work. Research prospects, get up-to-speed on deals, and draft outreach from any webpage with Sales Cloud Everywhere. In addition to these new capabilities for sellers, Einstein Copilot is introducing platform enhancements that make every conversational AI experience better: Copilot Analytics: Admins can visualise usage of Einstein Copilot through a pre-configured analytics dashboard, enabling them to understand and accelerate Einstein Copilot adoption by dissecting key metrics such as actions used, average interactions per user, and success rates to help businesses drive and measure ROI from AI. Recommended Actions: Teams are now empowered to quickly c...

On this episode, Paul shares his thoughts on the Snapdragon X Elite chip with Leo and Richard. Windows 11 24H2, AI, NPUs, and SoCs from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are all on the way this year. But a schedule is finally starting to emerge. And it looks like we'll soon have answers to the questions about how or why AI will matter on PCs. Windows, AI, and the future Windows 11 version 24H2 - staggered release schedule as discussed last week Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-based PCs in May/June - nothing but good news to date, but Paul went hands-on last week. It's the real deal.

Of course, we still don't have all the features. In particular, waiting on Android phone as a webcam. IDC says PC market grew by 1.5 percent in Q1 and acts like it's the turnaround of the century Microsoft is manually blocking certain registry keys related to default browsers now: Apple-like non-EU belligerence or pragmatic protection of user choice?

On this episode, Paul shares his thoughts on the Snapdragon X Elite chip with Leo and Richard. Windows 11 24H2, AI, NPUs, and SoCs from Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm are all on the way this year. But a schedule is finally starting to emerge. And it looks like we'll soon have answers to the questions about how or why AI will matter on PCs. Windows, AI, and the future Windows 11 version 24H2 - staggered release schedule as discussed last week Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite-based PCs in May/June - nothing but good news to date, but Paul went hands-on last week. It's the real deal. Intel's first-gen Core Ultra chipsets are lackluster, but now we have big promises for Arrow Lake in late 2024 Microsoft Build 2024 is in mid-May, and now we have a session list with some nice clues. For example, Introducing the Next Generation of Windows on Arm Microsoft is expected to unveil 24H2 and new X Elite-based Surface PCs at Build Computex and other milestones, and then back-to-school and holiday selling periods Windows 11 Moment 5 arrives in stable with yesterday's Patch Tuesday (which is now called the General Availability channel, by the way). Of course, we still don't have all the features. In particular, waiting on Android phone as a webcam. IDC says PC market grew by 1.5 percent in Q1 and acts like it's the turnaround of the century Microsoft is manually blocking certain registry keys related to default browsers now: Apple-like non-EU belligerence or pragmatic protection of user choice? Why can't it be both?

We're not surprised this is the end result.   Of course, iRobot proceeded to lay off 350 employees, or around 31 percent of its workforce.  In addition CEO Colin Angle, who co-founded the company, stepped down from his CEO position and his chair position.  Amazon gets to pay 94 Million in a termination fee to iRobot, which will help pay off a loan iRobot took the year prior.  04:02 Terraform fork OpenTofu launches into general availability OpenTofu has moved into General Availability.  The milestone is after a four month development effort, with hundreds of contributors and over five dozen developers.   Now that they have a stable version separated from the main Terraform product, they are promising a steady set of new features and enhancements.  The GA version is OpenTofu 1.6, which includes hun

As organizations embark on adopting zero trust network access (ZTNA) solutions, they often desire the flexibility of a hybrid strategy with the choice to use a mix of SaaS-based and / or customer-managed solutions to best suit their needs. Particularly organizations with closed networks, highly regulated environments, and / or strict data & privacy controls continue to prefer an on-premises solution while leveraging a vendor-operated cloud-based solution where it makes sense without compromising security and end-user experience outcomes.One year ago, we launched Citrix Secure Private Access service — a cloud-based zero trust security solution that provides comprehensive ZTNA to all IT-managed applications, a curated end-user experience through Citrix Enterprise Browser, adaptive authentication, app protection, and adaptive security controls including Remote Browser Isolation, to provide unified access and protect against data loss threats. Citrix has been a leader in delivering unified, secure, zero trust access to enterprise applications for decades. We are committed to the principles of “Never Trust, Always Verify” and have continued our innovation to meet our customers where they are in their secure access strategy.Today, we are pleased to announce the General Availability of Secure Private Access On-Premises solution — a major milestone in our journey to deliver ZTNA as a full customer-managed on-premises solution.Host: Bill SuttonCo-host: Todd SmithCo-host: Geremy MeyersCo-host: Patrick Coble

Artificial intelligence (AI) research and deployment company OpenAI recently announced the official launch of ChatGPT, a new model for conversational AI. According to OpenAI, the dialogue provided by this platform makes it possible for ChatGPT to “answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests.”Since its launch, social media has been abuzz with discussions around the possibilities — and dangers — of this new innovation, ranging from its ability to debug code to its potential to write essays for college students. In this podcast, we sit down for a conversation with Bern Elliot, VP Analyst at Gartner, to discuss the broader implications of this innovation and the steps that organizations should take regarding the use of these tools. Gartner has published a number of research pieces regarding ChatGPT (see recommended reading below). Here are a few of the common questions that set the stage for our interactive dialogue on the podcast.Q. What is ChatGPT and how does it work? Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer, or ChatGPT, is a chatbot and generative language tool launched by OpenAI in November 2022.1 The ChatGPT models compute the most probable set of letters or words when given an initial starting phrase, or “prompt.” ChatGPT is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 family of large language models and enables interaction with a model via a conversational user interface. ChatGPT was trained using 300 billion words taken from books, online texts, Wikipedia articles and code libraries, then fine-tuned with human feedback.On 16 January 2023, Microsoft announced the introduction of Azure OpenAI Service, which includes ChatGPT along with language models and added enterprise services..2 It is important for enterprise planners to distinguish between the OpenAI ChatGPT and the Azure OpenAI Service. The Azure version promises significant enterprise operational features, but is still emerging at the time of writing.Q. What role will ChatGPT play in the enterprise? ChatGPT, and foundation models like it, will be used as a tool alongside many other hyperautomation and AI innovations. It will form part of architected solutions that automate/augment humans or machines, and autonomously execute business and IT processes. As generative AI takes its place alongside existing approaches to work, ChatGPT or other competitors will be used to replace, recalibrate and redefine some activities and tasks that form part of many job roles.Q. How much does ChatGPT cost? The current research preview version of ChatGPT, which is the only version users could access up to the end of January 2023, is free of charge. However, there is no guarantee that this free service will persist, and it could be withdrawn at any time. OpenAI recently announced the launch of a pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT Plus for $20 a month.3ChatGPT will also come to the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service soon, but the pricing for that is currently being rolled out.4 It is possible that significant elements will be bundled with different Microsoft 365 software subscriptions.Q. Should I provide ChatGPT-powered experiences directly to my customers? No — this is too high a risk at present for most use cases, except in rare cases, possibly related to gaming or entertainment, where the correctness or impartiality of the content may have less scrutiny. Gartner expects the ChatGPT service to change rapidly over 2023 and to be complemented by other offerings. It is important for enterprise planners to distinguish between the OpenAI ChatGPT and the Azure OpenAI Service.  Gartner also expects several competitors will enter this market alongside ChatGPT. In particular, Gartner expects organizations like Baidu, IBM and Google to come to market early in 2023, along with a crop of smaller players. For example, on 6 February 2023, Google announced the introduction of its own offering, Bard.Footnotes:1 Introducing ChatGPT, OpenAI.2 Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft.3 Introducing ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI.4 General Availability of Azure OpenAI Service Expands Access to Large, Advanced AI Models With Added Enterprise Benefits, Microsoft. Host Frances Karamouzis is joined by our expert analyst, Bern Elliot. Elliot is a Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst. His research focus is artificial intelligence generally, with an added focus on natural language processing (NLP), machine translation, and customer engagement and service.

On this episode of The Cloud Pod, the team discusses the upcoming 2023 in-person Google Cloud conference, the accessibility of AWS CloudTrail Lake for non-AWS activity events, the new updates from Azure Chaos studio, and the comparison between Oracle Cloud service and other Cloud providers. They also highlight the application and importance of VPCs in CCOE.

This is a podcast presentation of an article published earlier this week. https://salesforcedevops.net/index.php/2022/12/19/salesforce-devops-center-launches-with-high-expectations/ Salesforce last week finally announced General Availability of DevOps Center, a new Salesforce feature designed to ease application development and release management. DevOps Center was originally introduced under “safe harbor” in late 2019, so this announcement culminates one of the most anticipated releases of a Salesforce feature in the last few years. “DevOps Center is one of our most-requested and most-anticipated solutions ever because it increases efficiency and productivity – and it makes work easier and more accurate for thousands of development teams. It's now easier than ever to manage changes, collaborate with team members, and ensure you have a synchronized source. And, it's designed for fusion teams made up of developers across the low-code and pro-code continuum, so you can work inside or outside the DevOps Center UI-based app and everything remains in sync,” said Karen Fidelak, a senior director of product management at Salesforce, in a press release. Table Of Contents What is Salesforce DevOps Center? Using DevOps Center Who Needs Salesforce DevOps Center? Salesforce DevOps Center Architecture Salesforce DevOps Center Industry Impact Additional Industry Reactions More Coherent Salesforce Developer Tools for Trailblazers Trailblazers Move Ahead with DevOps Center DevOps Center Moves Salesforce Devops Forward What is Salesforce DevOps Center? DevOps Center is a new Salesforce feature that lets admins, low code developers, and application developers safely and easily deploy changes to a production org. To do its work, DevOps Center relies heavily on the Salesforce org source tracking features found in scratch orgs and some sandbox types. This lets DevOps Center automatically determine meta data changes in development orgs, update GIT repositories, and then deploy change artifacts to testing and production orgs in a managed devops pipeline. Ben McCarthy, the founder of SalesforceBen.com, was asked what DevOps Center means for the Trailblazer community. “The Salesforce DevOps Center is an exciting product release for the ecosystem. It will not only change the way Salesforce professionals deploy changes, by bringing out a successor to change sets, but a new mindset, to meet modern DevOps best practices. This is exciting for both the businesses that use Salesforce, as they can accelerate development in a safer way, and the Salesforce professionals that will add another skillset to their repertoire,” said Mr. McCarthy in email correspondence. Pablo Gonzalez, a Salesforce architect who writes about CI/CD and the Salesforce API at pablogonzalez.io, was blunt about how he thinks DevOps Center is about to make some waves in the Trailblazer community. “The release of DevOps Center forces everyone to think about DevOps. Before its release, we could still hide behind the comfort zone of change sets. Now, Salesforce is sending a strong signal: Git-based deployments and pipelines are the way to deploy changes across your Salesforce orgs,” said Mr. Gonzalez in email correspondence. As everyone says, the biggest expectation of DevOps Center is to reduce or eliminate the use of change sets to deploy sandbox changes back to a production org. Based on my personal experience, DevOps Center has achieved that important goal.

Il vaut mieux définir des requêtes (des besoins en eau / CPU), plutôt que des limites (pas le droit de boire plus / d'utiliser plus de CPU) c'est plus nuancé que ca, parce que aux cas limites des choses peuvent mal se passer cas 1: on atteind 100% d'usage. Le process avait définit un request mais en fait a besoin de plus en pratique, et là paf il se met à mal fonctionner, donc dès que votre systeme stresse, vous avez des erreurs en cascade cas 2: un ou plusieurs noeuds sont recyclés, ce qui veut dire que vous avez beaucoup de redémarrages de pods et du coup ca met la pression sur le CPU, tester ces cas là, certaines applis qui démarrent trop lentement ont tendance à tomber en cascade Comment faire des attaques d'injection sur les intelligences artificielles qui recoivent du contenu utilisateur https://hackaday.com/2022/09/16/whats-old-is-new-again-gpt–3-prompt-injection-attack-affects-ai/ le jeu est de donner des phrases ambigues qui font faire à l'IA des choses qu'elle n'est pas sensé faire un des outils c'est ignore les instructions au dessus et fait un truc que je veux que tu fasses et qui n'est pas dans ta programmation initiale Voir toucher l'intention initiale de l'AI (lui faire dire) et donc d'atteindre des sphères non publiques du service Mastodon et la scalabilité https://framablog.org/2022/11/13/de-la-friture-sur-le-fediverse/ la decentralisatione et le protocole Mastodon est couteux en job donc une personne moderement populaire 27k personnes, devrait bouger vers son instance dédiée ce qui amènerait à couter assez cher par mois (en tous cas plus que 8$/mois) L’auteur explique que les devs devraient favorier un protocol fortement decentraliser plutot qu’optimiser pour les grosses instances un article qui couvre la configuration aux petits oignons de Sidekiq, qui traite les queues de tâches, pour scaler une instance Mastodon https://nora.codes/post/scaling-mastodon-in-the-face-of-an-exodus/ Rollouts de release a l’échelle avec Argo (rollback options) https://monzo.com/blog/2022/11/02/argo-rollouts-at-scale/ gros investissement sur ArgoCD Mais encore release à la main par les ingenieurs et tout ou rien pour une application idealement: push dans git et oublie, prometheus metriques dirigent le rollout basé sur des alertes génériques, garder le sisteme ouvert pour des stratégies de rollout alternatives dans le futur basé sur Argo Rollouts et sur des erreurs generiques (20% de calls en erreur, beaucoup d’erreurs de base de donnees, crashs notifie dans slack en async du success ou de l’echec interessant de voir qu’ils s’appuient sur des metriques simples Lessons apprises migration est un gros job automatiser la migration au maximum meme si c’est un one shot change le moteurt avant de changer l’UX (progressive rollout) ca simplifie les chosez Cloud Google adopte progressivement Adoptium Temurin comme version officielle de JDK dans ses produits https://glaforge.appspot.com/article/building-and-deploying-java–17-apps-on-cloud-run-with-cloud-native-buildpacks-on-temurin nous avions mentionné l'annonce de ce support dans l'épisode précédent https://blog.adoptium.net/2022/10/adoptium-welcomes-google/ dans l'article de Guillaume, il utilise les Cloud Native Buildpacks, configuré pour utiliser Java 17, et par défaut, c'est bien Temurin qui est utilisé quand on build à partir des sources dans l'exemple, une application Micronaut, développée avec Java 17, est déployée sur Google Cloud Run Pourquoi on quitte le Cloud https://world.hey.com/dhh/why-we-re-leaving-the-cloud–654b47e0 témoignage de DHH de 37Signal (basecamp et hey) Les 30% de marges d'Amazon viennent de quelque part. On dépense 500k en RDS et ES. On peut acheter beaucoup de machines pour ce prix La réduction des ops est un mythe. On a autant de personnes gérant les services AWS ou Google Cloud Le gain pourrait être la micro startup qui ne sait pas si elle aura des clients ou les volumes de demandes très variables et imprédictibles Mais on a une croissance planifiée Donc on rapatrie Présentation de Mickaël Roger de Thales, enregistrée à Cloud Nord, qui explique le fonctionnement de l'offre S3NS de Thales et Google Cloud pour le “cloud de confiance” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBwBeqd-YFs Web Est-ce que le Web3 peut battre le cloud ? https://blog.scottlogic.com/2022/10/31/can-web3-beat-the-cloud.html Le Web3 est une autre approche pour des applications décentralisées, ce n'est pas un successeur du Web 2.0 classique, et il a généralement besoin du Web 2.0 pour offrir une interface à ses utilisateurs Ce n'est pas que pour faire des cryptomonnaies qui gâchent de l'électricité, ou des NFTs qui ne donnent pas vraiment de titre de propriété d'une oeuvre d'art Dans cet article, l'auteur essaie d'implémenter une fonctionnalité (le fait de pouvoir rajouter des “applaudissements” à un article, un peu comme sur Medium), en implémentant un smart contract en Web3. Mais il se heurte à plein d'écueils le long de sa route, à la dépendance à plein d'autres services, au fait que ce n'est pas la personne qui “vote” qui devrait payer l'action mais celui qui héberge. Au final, il est obligé d'ajouter plein d'adhérences qui font qu'au lieu d'être décentralisée, l'application dépends de trop d'autres services, et a finalement besoin du Web 2.0 pour fonctionner, et du Cloud L'autre déconvenue est sur le prix de chacune des transactions, qui est finalement exorbitant par rapport à une approche Web 2.0 classique Décentralisation amène de la lenteur (latence) Objectifs du Web3 c'est d'etre le propriétaire de ses processes et ses data et de mettre des agents qui interagissent avec des données Outillage Comment debugguer les images Docker slim ou distroless https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/docker-debug-slim-containers/ Les images slim / distroless sont sympas car elles permettent d'avoir des petits conteneurs qui ne prennent pas trop de place, qui parfois sont plus rapides à charger, mais également qui exposent une surface d'attaque beaucoup plus faible Par contre, comme il n'y a pas tous les outils (parfois pas de shell, par exemple), c'est plus compliqué de comprendre ce qu'il se passe à l'intérieur quand quelque chose ne fonctionne pas L'article propose quelques approches pour pallier à cela : Installer des outils à la demande dans un conteneur qui tourne (à coup de apt-get) Passer temporairement à une image plus grosse et plus complète (par ex, distroless a des images avec un tag debug) Utiliser docker run avec un shared namespace Utiliser docker exec et un mount Podman Desktop, une alternative à Docker Desktop, mais utilisant podman https://podman-desktop.io/ Docker annonce une technical preview de conteneurs WASM https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-wasm-technical-preview/ nouveau packaging qui wrap un exécutable WASM et le fait tourner avec le runtime wasmEdge c'est un nouveau type de conteneur il y a beaucoup d'activité autour de WASM, et il y a eu de nombreuses annonces et démonstration lors de la conférence CloudNativeCon et le jour spécial sur WASM, lors de KubeCon https://www.infoq.com/news/2022/11/cloud-native-wasm-day/ docker utilise Docker Desktop et docker engine pour demarrer des “shim" Ses shim (processeS) lancent soit runc (donc pour faire tourner un containeur) soit wasmedge pour faire tourner des modules wasm Donc docker s'éloigne des container et essaie de toucher l'orchestration Un petit tutoriel utilisant Docker et YouTube-dl pour récupérer /

On trouve de nombreux articles sur Mastodon ces jours ci https://gorillasun.de/blog/getting-started-with-mastodon et vous, avez vous un compte sur Mastodon ? quelle instance avez-vous choisie ? quels outils (client, mobile, web, etc) utilisez vous ? Pour ma part je n’ai pas de compte Mastodon (je n’utilise pas twitter non plus). J’ai rapidement regardé ce matin ça n’est pas facile de trouver une instance : celles que j’ai regardé ont fermé les inscriptions (d’après ce que j’ai pu lire à cause de problèmes pour gérer l’afflux de nouveaux utilisateurs, à cause de l’augmentation de la création de comptes spam, ou dans l’objectif de répartir les utilisateurs sur d’autres instances moins connues).

GB2RS News Sunday 24th of October 2021 The news headlines: Get on the microwave bands Become an RSGB Director SAQ Grimeton transmits today   Are you looking for a new challenge? The RSGB has just released an updated video that gives a short introduction to amateur radio on the microwave bands. It explains how microwave technology is involved in everyday life and highlights the opportunities as well as the challenges of this aspect of amateur radio. You can watch the video on the RSGB YouTube channel or on the RSGB's microwave web page at rsgb.org/microwaves The RSGB Nominations Committee includes representatives of the Board, Regional Team and the Committees who work together to select Nominated Directors to serve on the RSGB Board. The Nominations Committee is seeking a wide range of new candidates with skills that will complement the existing skills and knowledge on the Board. If you are an RSGB Member with the skills, time and energy to help lead the Society as a Board Director, please contact the Chair of the Committee via email to nominations.chair@rsgb.org.uk. Today, the 24th of October is United Nations Day and the historic Alexanderson alternator in Grimeton, Sweden, with callsign SAQ, is scheduled to send out a message on 17.2kHz using CW. The live stream on YouTube starts at 1425UTC, with tuning at 1430UTC. The transmission begins at 1500UTC. Just search for SAQ Grimeton to find out more. The RSGB QSL bureau is continuing to search for a new sub-manager for the G4T to G4Z group. Members in this call group are encouraged to check the RSGB website for the latest information and not to send further collection envelopes until a new appointment is made. If you enjoy QSL cards, have space and time, plus some basic spreadsheet skills to record and distribute around 20,000 cards a year, plus a desire to support your fellow amateurs, email your interest to qsl@rsgb.org.uk. Don't forget that in the UK the clocks change to UTC or GMT next weekend. Clocks go back 1 hour at 2am on Sunday the 31st of October. The WSJT development team has announced the General Availability release of WSJT-X version 2.5.1. This release mainly contains improvements and defect repairs related to Q65 and JT65 modes when used with non-standard and compound calls. Also included is a new feature for microwave aircraft scatter, and repairs for defects detected since the 2.5.0 release. Just type WSJT-X into your favourite search engine. Eclipse and Frequency Measurement Festivals are worldwide citizen science campaigns in which amateurs and short wave listeners measure Doppler shift from their home stations, using their regular HF receivers. As the shadow of the moon passes across Antarctica on the 4th of December, it will generate travelling ionospheric disturbances that will, in turn, affect radio propagation. Data collection will run from the 1st to the 10th of December and the results will be made available for scientific analysis. All radio amateurs and short wave listeners are invited to join in, even those located far from the path of totality. In 2020, more than 100 individuals from 45 countries took part in eclipse festivals. For more information, go to hamsci.org. The Yasme Foundation Board of Directors has announced that it will be giving a grant to the Seychelles Amateur Radio Association to establish a facility for its amateur radio club.

QSL via Club Log's OQRS and Logbook of The World only. Now the contest news When operating in contests, please keep yourself and fellow amateurs safe by following relevant pandemic-related government recommendations. This weekend, the UK EI Contest Club DX SSB contest ends its 24-hour run at 1200UTC today, the 24th. Using the contest bands between 3.5 and 28MHz, the exchange is signal report, which is optional, serial number and your district code. On Tuesday the SHF UK Activity Contest runs from 1830 to 2130UTC. Using all modes on the bands between 2.3 and 10GHz, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Wednesday the UK EI Contest Club 80m contest runs from 2000 to 2100UTC. Using CW only, the exchange is your 6-character locator. The 80m Autumn Series runs from 1900 to 2030UTC on Thursday. Using SSB only the exchange is signal report and serial number. Next weekend is the 48-hour CQ World Wide DX SSB contest. Ending at 2359UTC on the 31st, it uses the 1.8 to 28MHz contest bands. The exchange is signal report and your Zone, which for the UK is 14. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA & G4BAO on Friday the 22nd of October. After a week of sunspots and DX fun it looks like we are back in the doldrums again. The Sun currently has just one sunspot visible, meaning the sunspot number is 11. This represents one sunspot in one group. There has been DX to be had, mostly thanks to DXpeditions, including Guinea Bissau, J5T, The Kingdom of Eswatini, 3DA0WW, and Sao Tome and Principe, S90K. These have been relatively easy to work and brought much-needed excitement to the HF bands. Geomagnetic conditions have been mixed, with the Kp index hitting four on Tuesday. This was the result of a large coronal hole that was Earth-facing earlier in the week. Next week, NOAA predicts the solar flux index will climb again to the high 80s, ending the week in the low to mid-90s. This is likely due to a large active region that is visible on the STEREO Ahead spacecraft's imager and which should rotate into view over the next few days. This may bring a surge in activity again, which should be welcomed by HF operators. And now the VHF and up propagation news. After a reminder of how unsettled Autumn can be, this weekend will see a weak and transient ridge crossing the country, and a possible brief Tropo window, especially to the east across the North Sea. Apart from that, the unsettled autumn flavour continues through the whole of next week and, as we have seen recently, that can mean some pretty wet and windy weather. Rain scatter on the GHz bands is, of course, an option in these conditions, but there is little else to bring cheer unless meteor scatter and aurora come into play. Today the Moon is at apogee, so EME path losses are at their maximum. Moon declination reaches maximum positive declination again on Tuesday so we'll see the Moon reaching its highest elevations at its zenith. The Orionids shower is still active and the Leonis Minorids peaks today, so there's still some interest for meteor scatter enthusiasts. The best time for reflections is, as always, around dawn. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

On The Cloud Pod this week, the team admits to using the podcast as a way to figure out what day it is. Justin also relents and includes Azure news because he couldn't handle any more Oracle mobile apps announcements.  A big thanks to this week's sponsors: Foghorn Consulting, which provides full-stack cloud solutions with a focus on strategy, planning and execution for enterprises seeking to take advantage of the transformative capabilities of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. This week's highlights Social media influencers can breathe a sigh of relief.  Amazon is dangling a carrot in front of one of its partners.  Azure is throwing a spanner in the works. General News: Not Cool News The FBI arrests a man for his plan to kill “70% of the internet” in an AWS bomb attack. 70% is quite a stretch but we're sure it would have caused a crappy day for a lot of people.   Hashicorp has released its Boundary 0.2 release with several new features. We're really excited about this.  Announcing HashiCorp Terraform 0.15 General Availability. If you believe it, this is really great news.  Amazon Web Services: Good At Compromising AWS announces AQUA is now generally available. Justin should have gotten a prediction point for this one.   Amazon Managed Service for Grafana now offers more support. We'll see if Grafana can actually make money out of its partnership with Amazon. Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL now integrates with AWS Lambda. This is really cool!  Decrease machine learning costs with instance price reductions and savings plans for Amazon SageMaker. Some pretty significant savings here.   Google Cloud Platform: Colossal Google takes a deep dive into its scalable storage solution, Colossus. Nothing new here.  Google announces tracking index backfill operation progress in Cloud Spanner. This is super important.   The new Google Cloud region in Warsaw is open. Nice to see Eastern Europe getting another region.  Azure: Someone Out There Cares User data through Azure Instance Metadata Service is now generally available. It would be great to use this with VMWare.  Microsoft announces encryption is now supported at the host level with AKS. Compliance people will be happy with this one. Microsoft announces plans to establish its first datacenter region in Malaysia. Just an announcement — don't get too excited because it's not opening yet.  TCP Lightning Round Jonathan takes the cake and this week's point, leaving scores at Justin (6), Ryan (3), Jonathan (6).  Other headlines mentioned: Amazon Pinpoint is now FedRAMP High Compliant You can now use macros and transforms in CloudFormation templates to create AWS CloudFormation StackSets Amazon Macie adds CloudWatch logging for job status and health monitoring of sensitive data discovery jobs  Amazon Textract achieves FedRAMP compliance Now visualize and report patch compliance using AWS Systems Manager Patch Manager     Things Coming Up Discover cloud storage solutions at Azure Storage Day — April 29 Save the date: AWS Containers events in May AWS Regional Summits — May 10–19 AWS Summit Online Americas — May 12–13 Microsoft Build — May 19–21 (Digital) Google Financial Services Summit — May 27th  Harness Unscripted Conference — June 16–17 Google Cloud Next — Not announced yet (one site says Moscone is reserved June 28–30) Google Cloud Next 2021 — October 12–14, 2021 AWS re:Invent — November 29–December 3 — Las Vegas Oracle Open World (no details yet)

In this round-up episode of AWS TechChat, Shane and Dean come at you with raft of short sharp and important updates that occurred in August and September in the year 2019. They start the show with an announcement - support for multiple TLS certificates on Network Load Balancers using Server Name Indication (SNI). You can now host multiple secure applications, each with its own TLS certificate, on a single load balancer listener. Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB) is now GA, and it is a fully managed ledger database that provides a transparent, immutable, and cryptographically verifiable transaction log ‎owned by a central trusted authority. They then spoke about the recently announced AWS Solution that uses Amazon Comprehend and Amazon Elasticsearch (ES) Service for indexing and analyzing unstructured text. This reference implementation in the form of AWS CloudFormation (CFN) deploys a cost-effective, end-to-end solution for extracting meaningful insights from unstructured data. Also, it has a tasty Kibana dashboard to provide visualizations. Updates for Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Flow logs - In addition to existing fields, you can now choose to add in additional meta-data that will help provide more meaningful conclusions. Finally, to close out the show we covered two updates for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS). Amazon EKS now allows you to assign IAM permissions to Kubernetes service accounts. This update gives you fine-grained, pod level access-control when running clusters with multiple co-located services. Secondly, we just released 1.14.6 for Amazon EKS. Please check out the EKS support policy as we only support the last three (1.12, 1.13 & 1.14) EKS releases.

Oh my, we take a break for a month, and things happen! We start with the news of the day (JDK 12 is General Availability, so go and download it today!). F5 buys NginX which brings more consolidation in the web appliance/software space, and there is a new Continuous Delivery Foundation! (What does it means for all of us devopsy folks) Then we dive into some interesting developments in ElasticSearch! You might have been using it, and even contributed to it, but may have not realized that some parts are actually commercial in nature. Amazon is releasing a purely "Free as in Free beer" ElasticSearch Open Distro where there's no confusion on what's commercial, since there's nothing commercial in it. It makes it harder for Elastic to make a buck, but maybe there might be a different monetization model for them? All in all, an exciting episode on how the open source community and for-profit companies are trying to find when the line is being crossed.

Dynamics 365 for Marketing - The Giant Stands Back Up Back in April, I wrote a post called "Dynamics 365 for Marketing – A Giant Tripped by a Grain of Sand" about Microsoft's new Dynamics 365 for Marketing Application. It was not a favorable post. Regardless, Microsoft added us to a very small Pilot program for the product in a, "Keep the troublemakers close" strategy. A lot has changed since then. The "Trip" In that April post, I referred to an eager fictional intern named Justin, and his lazy fictional boss, who concocted a licensing scheme for Dynamics 365 for Marketing that made no sense. The "Powers that be" recognized the error, and suggested that Justin's boss should apply for a job at Salesforce.com (and they gave him a sterling endorsement). Justin was promoted to Executive Vice President, and is now a member of the SLT. In the meantime, the non-fictional team has been hard at work, and I am pleased to report that the Giant has regained his footing. The Grain of Sand The particular issue, that stalled this product from ever reaching "greatness", was a simple one: The Licensing Model. If you recall, the original licensing model was based on the number of "Contacts" in your database. Seems simple enough, and mirrors many other competing Marketing solutions. But unlike other Marketing solutions, where the contacts that reside in them, are there specifically for Marketing purposes, in the Dynamics 365 world, Contacts is a multi-dimensional construct. With the move to Common Data Service (CDS), this was further exacerbated. In almost every customer's case, there were a significant number of "contacts" in their databases, that were not there for Marketing purposes. In some cases this was over 90% of the database! For too many customers, this was a non-starter. I am not the only one who pointed this out, many partners joined the chorus. But, like a kid incessantly pointing out a zip on your chin, I hammered on this issue in every Pilot Program call. Once something is "set" in Microsoft, there is quite a bit of bureaucracy involved in changing it. While I am sure the team would have liked me to just shut the hell up about it, it was actually the stalled motion of the product that ultimately led to revisiting the licensing model. An Almost Perfect Model I would love to report that Microsoft took my suggestion to go to a 100% consumption based model... they did not... entirely, but they did get damn close. Regardless of the virtues I see in consumption, what they came up with will work in 99% of customer cases. A complete reversal of the previous model which would only work for 1% of customers. The biggest issue has been solved: "Effective with the Oct 2018 release, pricing for Dynamics 365 for Marketing will be based only on those contacts used for a marketing activity." So it no longer matters how many contacts you have in your database, or how they got there, or why they are there. From a "Marketing" standpoint, the only ones that will count towards your cost for Marketing, are those that you are Marketing to. Hallelujah! To see the full details for the new Dynamics 365 for Marketing licensing and pricing click here to download the relevant pages of the official document. With the prior model, a conversation with a customer seldom lasted more than 20 seconds... now we can have a "real" conversation. The fact is, we still don't know if Dynamics 365 for Marketing is a world-beater, or an also-ran. It was more like a cyclist in the Tour de France, with a flat tire at the starting line, who never got to race. Well the race is about to begin, the tires are good, it's time to see if this is actually a contender... or not. BTW, I am bullish at the moment. "But Steve, you have been all over the place on this". You are free to call me a "flip-flopper". When it comes to Dynamics 365 for Marketing, that would be a fair characterization. But, I have flipped... or flopped, back to product evangelist mode. Peeling the Preview Tag I have noticed recently that many Microsoft teams, across many products, seem to be a little too eager to remove the "Preview" tag. Preview typically means the product is free to use, but is still in "Beta", and so bugs are expected. In exchange for free use, users let Microsoft know about any issues they discover, so the team can fix them before a General Availability release (Peeling off the Preview label). Some products have a high Preview signup rate, and so a good number of issues can be discovered. Unfortunately, being a new space for Microsoft, the Dynamics 365 for Marketing Preview did not have a huge number of signups. Without many bugs being reported, Microsoft apprehensively peeled the Preview tag off the Marketing App in April. Dynamics 365 for Marketing is a comprehensive application, that covers a significant number of marketing use cases. Many of these use cases clearly had not been explored by the small group of users during the Preview, and so many bugs were later discovered. In hindsight, it's probably a good thing that the licensing model kept so many customers away, as it gave the team time to address the various issues that surfaced. Bug Squishing As part of the Pilot Program, I had a front-row seat to the team's efforts to stabilize the product. I can tell you, this team was nothing short of amazing. Sometimes issues were fixed within hours. Other times, the issue was discovered to not be a bug, but simply a lack of documentation, for a brand new category of product that we were all wrapping our heads around. The team was just as amazing at plugging the documentation gaps. Many partners reached out to me to ask, "Is Microsoft serious about this Marketing thing". Based on the passion I have seen, I have no doubts in my mind about their commitment to delivering a world-class Marketing solution. If I had stock in HubSpot or Marketo, I would be genuinely concerned. Summary While the path taken by Dynamics 365 for Marketing, is probably not one that Microsoft would like to repeat, we are thankfully on the other side of that bumpy road. I look at the April launch as a "soft-launch", now we have the "real" launch. The licensing model should now make financial sense to almost everybody. The product is hardening rapidly. While the product already covers a wider swath than most any competitor, the future roadmap extends father than the eye can see. From where I was 4 months ago on it, I really have to tip my hat to the whole team. I wonder how Justin's old boss is doing over at Salesforce.com... Dynamics 365 for Marketing is a powerful solution, and as such, is also a complex solution. In addition to needing some technical chops to install and configure it, you will also need to understand Marketing in general, and how Dynamics 365 for Marketing meets those goals. To be honest, even as a 3-time Business Applications MVP, I am not well-versed enough to succeed as a partner selling this product on our own, and I'm not afraid to admit it. But I now believe very strongly in the potential of this product, and I don't want to be standing on the sidelines. So we have formed an alliance with a deep, marketing-focused Dynamics partner (Coffee + Dunn) who brings the Marketing expertise, to combine with our technical and licensing expertise. If you would like to learn more about Dynamics 365 for Marketing, feel free to reach out to either me at steve@forceworks.com, or Thomas Manders at tmanders@coffee-dunn.com.
