I read Microsoft’s “Enterprise Adoption Guide for Azure SRE Agent — Part 1: Deploying Your First Azure SRE Agent” and it’s a practical, no-nonsense playbook for going from zero to one. Their core advice is exactly what I’d tell a…

I dug into Part 2 of Microsoft’s Enterprise Adoption Guide for Azure SRE Agent and it’s a very practical playbook for going from a single team pilot to enterprise-wide use. The post answers three core questions — how to share…

I ran a lab on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server where I deliberately bloated a table, built a pg_cron watchdog to catch it, and then reclaimed the space online with pg_repack while keeping the app available. The watchdog uses…

I walked through Microsoft’s step‑by‑step guide for building a compact, GPU‑enabled kubeadm cluster on Azure N‑series VMs. The reference setup is intentionally small: a control plane on Standard_D8s_v6 and a GPU worker on Standard_NC24ads_A100_v4 (Ubuntu 24.04), using Kubernetes v1.33, containerd,…

I took a close look at a Microsoft Tech Community post that walks through a hands‑on playbook for recovering PostgreSQL table bloat on Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server. The author intentionally bloated a table in a lab, built a…

I’m heading into the OCP Global Summit 2026 coverage and Microsoft’s lineup is all about the stack that actually makes large-scale AI work — “from silicon and systems to the datacenter.” They’re showing off purpose-built silicon (Cobalt 200, Maia 200/300,…

I read Microsoft’s recent post on advancing AI fleet reliability and found it a solid, practical look at how collaboration and standards can tame the complexity of large, multi‑vendor AI clusters. The piece lays out why fragmented vendor tools make…

I just read Microsoft’s post from the Open Compute Project Global Summit where they rolled out six open-source hardware-security pieces designed for modern cloud and AI infrastructure. The highlights: Tessera (an open integrated HSM that brings key protection closer to…

I dug into Microsoft’s look at powering Azure “from grid to chip” and it’s a clear reminder that scaling AI isn’t just about more GPUs — it’s about getting power to them efficiently. The piece argues that as AI workloads…

I just read Microsoft’s Azure Infrastructure post about how AI is reshaping the role of networking. The short version: as models and clusters grow, the network stops being a passive pipe and becomes part of the AI system architecture. Microsoft…

I’ll be keeping an eye on Microsoft at the OCP Global Summit 2026 — they’re highlighting how they’re “advancing the infrastructure needed to scale AI, from silicon and systems to the datacenter.” Stop by booth C73 (if you’re there) to…

I read Microsoft’s piece on advancing AI fleet reliability with OCP partners and it feels like a practical step toward making large-scale AI infrastructure less fragile. They argue—and I agree—that standardizing RAS, telemetry, diagnostics, and firmware workflows across vendors reduces…

I dug into Microsoft’s recap from the Open Compute Project Global Summit and came away impressed: they announced six open-source hardware security advances that together push isolation, attestation, recovery, and post-quantum readiness deeper into server designs. The highlights: Tessera, an…

I dug into Microsoft’s post about “powering Azure infrastructure from grid to chip” and it’s a neat reminder that as AI gets denser, power—not just compute—is becoming the real bottleneck. As they put it, “greater intelligence relies on how efficiently…

I just read Microsoft’s post “Networking for the AI era: Building for scale, efficiency, and openness” and it’s a clear reminder that networks are no longer just plumbing — they’re part of the AI system itself. As models and accelerator…

I just explored the new Azure Functions Hosted Skills canvas inside the GitHub Copilot app — it neatly puts your Function App, plain‑English skill instructions (.agent.md), trigger controls and live logs all beside your conversation. You can pick a Timer/HTTP/Queue…
