Big data
Big Data refers to the data from millions of devices. Azure has some solutions to handle big data.
Data Lake Analytics
- Large amounts of data
- Parallel processing – two or mode processes or computers processing the same data at the same time.
- Ready to go – can jump straight in.
HDInsights
- Similar to Azure Data Lake Analytics
- Open Source which is free and community supported
Databricks
- Based on Apache Spark, a distributed cluster-computing framework
- Run and process a dataset in many computers simultaneously
- Databricks provides all the computing power
- Integrates with other Azure Storage services
Synapse Analytics
- Azures data warehouse offering
- Used to be Azure SQL Data Warehouse
- Used for reporting and data analysis
- Only limited by your scope
- Use Synapse SQL language to manipulate the data
AI
AI is the ability of a machine to imitate intelligent behaviour. Through AI, machines can analyse images, comprehend speech, interact in natural ways and make predictions using data.
AI is a subcategory of machine learning.
Azure Cognitive Services
a collection of tools to use in your own applications. These include:
- Vision – recognise, identify and caption your videos and images. Automatically.
- Decision – apps can make decisions based on content. Detect potential offensive language, detect IoT anomalies etc.
- Speech – automatic speech to text.
Azure Machine Learning Studio
- Supports all azure machine learning tools
- Pre-made modules for your project
- Use for real-world scenarios such as twitter analysis
Serverless
Yes, there are servers. You just don’t manage them
Severless tools - function
– a single task
