As part Azure Machine Learning service general availability, we are excited to announce the new automated machine learning (automated ML) capabilities.

Building on our announcements at Microsoft Ignite in September 2018, I’m excited to share several new announcements we are making to enable organizations to easily apply AI to transform their businesses.

In countries around the world, natural disasters have been much in the news. If you had a hunch such calamities were increasing, you’re right. In 2017, hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires cost $306 billion worldwide, nearly double 2016’s losses of $188 billion.

Premium Blob Storage, which is currently in limited public preview, unlocks a new level of performance in public cloud object storage. It uses a combination of solid-state drives in our storage clusters and enhancements to our blob storage software to provide very fast response times.

In this blog post we will discuss how to build a multi-tenant system on Azure Cosmos DB. Azure Cosmos DB itself is a multi-tenant PaaS offering on Azure.

For the past 25 years, companies of every size have trusted Windows Server and SQL Server to run their business-critical workloads. In fact, more than 70 percent of on-premises server workloads today run on Windows Server.

We’re committed to ensuring that you can run your workloads reliably on Azure. One of the areas we’re investing heavily into optimizing reliability is using the combination of machine learning and live migration to predict and proactively mitigate potential failures.

Last week we announced a preview of Docker support for Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services with an initial set of containers ranging from Computer Vision and Face, to Text Analytics.

Azure Cosmos DB is a ring zero Azure service. This means it will be available in any new Azure data center as soon as it goes online and must keep all its compliance certificates current.

Data visualization is one of the most critical components for any kind of solution, and graph databases are no different. For Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB, a highly-scalable and enterprise-ready visualization solution has been a common ask from customers.

Most modern applications are built using events whether it is reacting to changes coming from IoT devices, responding to a new listing in a marketplace solution, or initiating business processes from customer requests.

How can you take billions of lines of log data, explore it to identify those hidden gems of information, and act on those insights instantly to improve your customers’ experience, enhance your product, and maintain a competitive advantage in a digital-first world?
