Microsoft Build is Microsoft’s annual Developer Conference. This year, it took place from 24th – 26th May 2022. Not only were there several fantastic announcements, but we were lucky to have a regional spotlight on the UK! Join our panel of Cloud Solution Architects and Technical Specialists for an interactive discussion on the announcements from last week.

Chris and Matt deploy their containerized microservices to Azure Container Apps for the first time, pulling images from GitHub Packages and exploring the Dapr, KEDA, and Envoy integrations that Container Apps provides.

Your monthly digest covering a packed May 2022 — headlined by Microsoft Build! In this episode, Chris walks through Azure Container Apps going generally available (and why it's one to watch), the limited access preview of Azure OpenAI Service with GPT-3 and Codex models, Azure DNS Private Resolver for hybrid name resolution, Open Service Mesh extension for Azure Arc GA, NGINX natively integrated on Azure, AKS host process containers in preview, Azure Communication Services Email GA, hierarchical partition keys in Cosmos DB, and much more. Plus GitHub and Azure DevOps highlights from a very busy month for the developer ecosystem.

Come together with peers and experts May 24–26, 2022, for an engaging experience around the latest in innovation and tools that will help you stay informed. New for this year, experience market-specific content and connection opportunities for France, Germany, Japan, Latin America, and the UK. Join April Edwards and I, who will be hosting you!

Technology is always evolving. We’ve seen physical machines turn into virtual. Virtual machines turn into containers. But often, those containers need an orchestrator like Kubernetes to reap the full benefits. What if there was a simpler option? Join Tighe and Chris as they introduce you to Azure Container Apps (Preview), Dapr and Keda - Helping you get started on your serverless cloud native journey.

Chris and Matt containerize their Go microservices by writing Dockerfiles, building images, and publishing them to GitHub Packages container registry using GitHub Actions workflows with GITHUB_TOKEN authentication.

GitHub recently posted about a new GitHub Action that can be used to summarise your test results. The action is called test-summary/action, available at github.com/test-summary/action. There are several examples on how to use the action at github.com/test-summary/examples. However, there were no examples on how to use this with Go. I contributed a pull request which showed how to achieve this. In this post, I will show how to use the action with Go.

In this post, I'll be talking about how to use interfaces in Go. This is a continuation of my learning using the Go language. I'll use interfaces to create an application that interacts with several types of bank accounts.

Have you heard about the term Developer Velocity, and wondered why it even matters for you? Join Steph and Chris as they run through Microsoft's transformation from shipping boxed products to always-on online services. Developer Velocity is a critical part of that journey to ensure the teams can keep delivering value to their end users at scale. In this session, you will learn about some of the tips & tricks that Microsoft used along the way.

Chris and Matt wire up Dapr state management for their .NET player state service, configure VS Code debugging for multi-service development, and document game use cases covering player enrollment, world event ticks, and decision lifecycle.
