Recently, the Microsoft Special Projects Research Group has just announced the salvage of a small underwater data center that sank into the cold seabed of northern Scotland two years ago. This data center, which looks like a reduced version of a "submarine," has 864 servers and 27.6 PB of data storage. . Anyone who has dived knows that the underwater world is not as fresh and magical as seen in an aquarium. Undercurrents and strong pressure, seawater is corrosive, and the environment is more sinister than terrestrial data centers.
What has the data center code-named "Northern Isles" (Northern Isles) experienced during the past two years underwater? Is there any leak? Rusty? Now it's finally revealed. Unexpectedly, through the monitoring of the performance and reliability of data center servers by Microsoft engineers, the failure rate is only 1/8 of that on land! This small underwater data center of Microsoft is as stable as a submarine~

You think this is over (but not), and Microsoft, the company, has to let Azure cloud services "go to heaven"! At the Ignite 2020 conference, Microsoft has released to the world a cloud computing hosting service based on space satellites and space data-Azure Orbital, through Azure, you can also get space satellite data. In addition to the agricultural and meteorological analysis in the past, you may be able to do some interesting research from satellite data through Azure Orbital. For example, use satellite cloud pictures to confess to the goddess?
Microsoft has many other black technologies, such as the head-mounted mixed reality device HoloLens 2, which is helping NASA's manned moon landing plan to build spacecraft! It allows the crew of the "Orion spacecraft" to see the animation effect of the parts being assembled together without looking at the drawings or the screen, and even the engineering drawings, which look quite amazing.

World-class cloud giants such as Azure have extended the application of cloud computing to the frontiers of science. "Going to collect data, go to the sea to build infrastructure", Microsoft is always cool when it comes to cloud computing research verification and exploring the application potential of data computing.
Tools that let developers not have to work overtime are good tools
In addition to the cool black technology of "going up to the sea", Microsoft is also providing developers with more convenient development tools.
For example, at the Ignite conference, to help simplify development, Microsoft introduced a series of low-code features in Power Platform and Azure. Professional developers can integrate Azure APIM and GitHub to quickly create custom applications, RPA, and workflows.
Developers can quickly publish Azure API-managed connectors to Power Platform, which greatly reduces the time required to create applications. Low-code developers can also build applications that utilize these connectors through Power Apps hosted in Teams, without paying additional licensing fees.
In addition, Power Automate Desktop will be launched soon, and all developers can simply use the desktop RPA application to automate the development business process.
A tool that allows developers to work overtime is a good tool! The integration of Microsoft development tools improves efficiency and simplifies development. Be a programmer who does not work overtime!

Charles Lamanna, the global vice president of Microsoft's "Post Wave", explained in detail the three most important things of Power Platform for Chinese developers, which are related to the great vision of not working overtime. This must be recorded in a small book;
Pan Zhenglei, Microsoft's top code goddess and the head of VS code, focused on Microsoft's trends and solutions in hybrid cloud deployment, such as cross-local data center, multi-cloud and edge operation. We also typed the code and talked about the composite technical person who got the solution.
There are also well-known technical directors of large companies to share development experience , and listen to what tasks IT "supervisors" worry about every day;
There are more exciting new blueprints for Microsoft products in China , best practices in digital transformation, and more . You will learn all in one package!
With so much content, um, the Microsoft Fall Technology Class is really a good opportunity to improve (bi)me(ge)~
