In this episode, Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure revealed Brain, the AI-powered AIOps system that continuously monitors Azure's health, detects incidents, identifies root causes, and increasingly automates responses such as pausing problematic deployments and notifying affected customers. Built on Azure Resource Graph, Brain creates a real-time digital twin of Azure, mapping dependencies across hundreds of services, data centers, and regions. Although Brain predates the generative AI boom, years of data engineering, standardized service-level indicators (SLIs), and machine learning laid the foundation for today's capabilities. Brain combines standardized SLIs, service-specific monitoring, and third-party signals to detect anomalies, while ML models dynamically establish service baselines and correlate outages with software rollouts. Microsoft says automated notifications have reduced customer support tickets by four to six times, with 80–90% of Brain-covered services receiving notifications within 15 minutes, often in under five. The company is also layering LLM-powered agents, called Triangle, on top of Brain to streamline incident routing and eventually enable AI agents to autonomously troubleshoot and remediate outages.

What happens when a cyberattack strikes without warning—and no defense exists to stop it? In this gripping and timely episode, Mark Russinovich explores Zero Day, diving into one of the most dangerous threats in the digital world. Drawing from his deep expertise in cybersecurity, Mark explains what a “zero-day” vulnerability is—an unknown flaw in software that can be exploited before developers even realize it exists. He discusses how these vulnerabilities can be used in sophisticated attacks, potentially targeting infrastructure, corporations, and even governments. This episode goes beyond fiction, examining the real-world implications of cyber warfare and digital security. How vulnerable are the systems we rely on every day? What happens when critical infrastructure is targeted? And how can individuals and organizations better protect themselves in an increasingly connected world? Join us for a fast-paced and eye-opening conversation that brings the invisible battlefield of cybersecurity into focus—where the threats are real, the stakes are high, and awareness is the first line of defense.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Varje sekund skapas ofantliga mängder datafiler i världen, och nya format för lagring avlöser varandra. Nu kommer glasskivor som ska hålla data i 10 000 år. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Djupt nere i ett bergrum på Kungsholmen i Stockholm lagrar Riksarkivet enorma mängder data, som ska bevaras ”in i evigheten”. Men de hårddiskar och databand har begränsad livslängd, så materialet måste kopieras över till nya lagringsmedier omkring vart femte år. Och när gamla disketter, cd-skivor och annat dyker upp och behöver läsas av så kan det innebära svårigheter, om de läsare som krävs inte finns på plats. Nyligen presenterade forskare en teknik som ska kunna lagra data säkert i 10 000 år på små tunna glasskivor. Det väcker frågor om vilken teknik den tidens människor kan förväntas använda och om hur mycket av de data som vi skapar som är av intresse för kommande generationer, och filosofiska funderingar om informationspåverkan mot samhällen långt in i framtiden. Medverkande: Johan Ekdahl, arkivarie Riksarkivet, Stockholm; Michael Fokine, professor tillämpad fysik, KTH; Gunnar Björk, professor emeritus tillämpad fysik KTH. I programmet hörs också Ioan Stefanovici på Microsofts forskningslaboratorium i Cambridge och Mark Russinovich, teknisk chef på molnlagringsplattformen Azure.

The AI race is no longer just about models — it's about infrastructure, security, and who controls the pipes. On this episode of the Tech Field Day News Rundown, Tom Hollingsworth and Alastair Cooke break down NVIDIA's $4 billion investment in optical networking leaders Lumentum and Coherent, strengthening its AI supercomputing supply chain as competition with AMD and Meta intensifies. They examine the “ClawJacked” vulnerability impacting locally hosted AI agents and what it reveals about governing high-privilege AI systems. A new paper from the Association for Computing Machinery by Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman raises concerns that generative AI tools could shrink the junior developer pipeline if companies fail to rethink mentorship. They also discuss reports that attackers leveraged Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT during a breach of Mexican government systems, underscoring AI's growing role in cybercrime. Plus, Google folds robotics firm Intrinsic into its core business to accelerate physical AI, Accenture acquires Ookla for $1.2 billion to expand AI-driven network services, and Qualcomm outlines its AI-native wireless strategy at Mobile World Congress 2026 as the industry looks ahead to 6G.Time Stamps: 0:00 - Cold Open0:29 - Welcome to the Tech Field Day News Rundown1:20 - NVIDIA Invests $4B in Lumentum and Coherent to Power AI's Optical Future4:42 - OpenClaw Flaw Lets Malicious Websites Take Over Local AI Agents8:08 - Microsoft Leaders Warn AI May Shrink the Developer Talent Pipeline13:36 - Hacker Uses Claude and ChatGPT to Breach Mexican Government Systems16:51 - Google Moves Toward “Android for Robotics” with Intrinsic Integration20:11 - Accenture Acquires Ookla from Ziff Davis24:21 - Claude Outage Follows Surge in Demand Amid White House Dispute28:33 - Qualcomm Unveils AI-Native Wireless Vision at MWC 202632:38 - The Weeks Ahead: Upcoming Tech Field Day Events35:11 - Thanks for Watching the Tech Field Day News RundownFollow our hosts Tom Hollingsworth, Alastair Cooke, and Stephen Foskett.

In this episode Michael and Mark talk with guest Mark Russinovich, Technical Fellow, Deputy CISO and Chief Technology Officer of Microsoft Azure about quantum cryptography and quantum computing and its implications for security and the future. NOTE: There's a portion where Mark and Michael talk about a quote made by Richard Feynman about understanding technical topics, but this is actually attributed to Albert Einstein. However, there is no definitive record of Einstein writing or saying this exact phrase in his published works or speeches.We decided to not cover any Azure Security news in this episode.
How has Azure been innovating lately? While at Build Richard chatted with Azure CTO Mark Russinovich about some of the latest innovations in Azure, including some of the new hardware available. Mark talks about working with hardware manufacturers to build servers optimized to the workloads the largest Azure customers need. The conversation also explores the new innovations in AI and how Azure is being optimized to serve those workloads - and be shaped by them! Mark also talks about how material science is evolving with generative AI technologies leading to a discussion about the coming role of quantum computing - and how that will live in the cloud as well!LinksScott and Mark Learn to...Azure F-Family VMsHollow Core FiberMajorana 1 Quantum ProcessorRecorded May 20, 2025

Talk Python To Me - Python conversations for passionate developers
When you run your code in the cloud, how much do you know about where it runs? I mean, the hardware it runs on and the data center it runs in? There are just a couple of hyper-scale cloud providers in the world. This episode is a very unique chance to get a deep look inside one of them: Microsoft Azure. Azure is comprised of over 200 physical data centers, each with 100,000s of servers. A look into how code runs on them is fascinating. Our guide for this journey will be Mark Russinovich. Mark is the CTO of Microsoft Azure and a Technical Fellow, Microsoft's senior-most technical position. He's also a bit of a programming hero of mine. Even if you don't host your code in the cloud, I think you'll enjoy this conversation. Let's dive in.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZDTech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je suis Guillaume Serries et aujourd'hui je vous explique pourquoi la NSA vous demande de changer votre langage de programmation pour améliorer la sécurité de votre code. C'est un message que tient à faire passer la NSA - la principale Agence américaine de renseignement - aux développeurs. Il faut en finir avec les langages C et C++. Et pourquoi donc ? Parce que ces langages sont susceptibles de permettre des attaques informatiques qui utilisent la mémoire informatique. Et se passer de C ou C++ pourrait signifier une réorientation vers C#, Go, Java, Ruby, Rust ou encore Swift. Et ces langages ont par ailleurs déjà fait leur preuve. Un exemple ? Java est le langage le plus utilisé dans les entreprises et pour le développement d'applications Android. Un autre exemple ? Swift figure dans le top 10 des langages de programmation les plus utilisés, notamment bien sûr grâce au développement d'applications sous iOS. L'agence d'espionnage américaine cite des recherches récentes de Google et de Microsoft selon lesquelles 70 % des problèmes de sécurité dans le navigateur Chrome et le système d'exploitation Windows, sont liés à la mauvaise gestion de la mémoire avec les langages de programmation C et C++. Reste la question de savoir pourquoi C et C++ ont des problèmes de mémoire. "Ils offrent beaucoup de liberté et de souplesse dans la gestion de la mémoire tout en s'appuyant fortement sur le programmeur pour effectuer les vérifications nécessaires sur les références mémoire" mentionne la NSA. L'Agence recommande donc d'utiliser un langage à mémoire sécurisée lorsque cela est possible. Et le langage Rust semble être le principal candidat au "remplacement" de C et C++. Le noyau Linux d'ailleurs a récemment introduit Rust comme deuxième langage après le C. Ces projets développés en Rust ne remplaceront pas l'ancien code C ou C++. Oui, ce sont de nouveaux projets qui auront les faveurs de ce nouveau langage. Même son de cloche chez Microsoft. Mark Russinovich, le directeur technique de Microsoft Azure, a récemment appelé tous les développeurs à utiliser Rust plutôt que C et C++ pour tous les nouveaux projets. Il faut cependant bien comprendre que l'utilisation d'un langage sécurisé pour la mémoire n'empêche pas par défaut l'introduction de bugs de mémoire dans les logiciels. De plus, les langages autorisent souvent des bibliothèques qui ne sont pas écrites dans des langages sûrs pour la mémoire. Enfin, La NSA note que certains langages recommandés peuvent avoir un coût en termes de performances. Donc dans ce cas là, les développeurs peuvent prendre des mesures pour renforcer la sécurité les langages non sécurisés en mémoire. L'équipe Chrome de Google par exemple, étudie plusieurs méthodes pour renforcer le langage C++. Et il semble que C++ restera dans la base de code de Chrome dans un avenir prévisible.

Today's guest is Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure. In this episode, we focus on large language models, and Mark speaks with us about two distinct topics. First, he discusses actual, in-the-field applications of large language models today. Mark goes over several of them, but one use-case with Carmax is particularly useful for natural language generation in an enterprise use-case. Secondly, Mark talks about what he would recommend for enterprise leaders who would like to look at their own business and identify where they can apply the value of large language models within their enterprise and the particular workflows that might be optimal for LLMs. This episode is sponsored by Kisaco Research. This year, the Kisaco Research AI Hardware Summit takes place from September 13th through September 15th at the Santa Clara Marriott in California. Mark is among many distinguished speakers, including infrastructure and AI leaders at Meta, Wells Fargo, Salesforce, and more.
Build and deploy container-based apps and microservices at scale, with the new fully managed Azure Container Apps service. Jeff Hollan, serverless technology expert for Microsoft Azure, joins Jeremy Chapman to show the benefits and how it works under the covers. Microservices help teams build and deliver apps faster and more scalable than traditional architectures. Containers are a core piece of tech when building microservices, because they provide a consistent way to package and run microservice code anywhere. You can still run containers and microservices in Azure, but rather than having to do it directly with Kubernetes, get it up and running quickly using Azure Container Apps. ► QUICK LINKS: 00:00 - Introduction 00:44 - Why use containers and microservices? 03:08 - How Azure Container Apps service differs 05:35 - How it works 07:40 - Modernize existing apps 10:03 - Benefits of modernizing to container apps 11:46 - Wrap up ► Link References: If you're new to Dapr, check out our show with Mark Russinovich at https://aka.ms/DaprMechanics Try out the new Azure Container Apps preview at https://aka.ms/ContainerAppsDocs ► Unfamiliar with Microsoft Mechanics?

Remember when a hard drive that could hold a terabyte of data was a big deal? Well, we're now in an era where peta-, exa- and even zetta-bytes are the bytes of the day, and it turns out it's hard to fit that many zeroes on a hard drive. That's where Dr. Ant Rowstron, Deputy Lab Director of Microsoft Research Cambridge, and Mark Russinovich, Chief Technical Officer of Azure, come in. Their respective teams are working on paradigm-breaking solutions to give us phenomenal storage power in an itty-bitty living space. Today, Ant and Mark discuss their roles in the development of new optical technologies, like Project Silica, for cloud-scale storage demands, and talk about the Optics for the Cloud Research Alliance, an exciting new collaboration between academic researchers and MSR. They also explain how just the right mix of innovation and engineering can make the cloud more powerful and less expensive to use and, at the same time, deliver “forever” storage that's both dishwasher and microwave safe! https://www.microsoft.com/research
