#3.Serverless tutorial – On HTTP trigger store data in Azure Cosmos DB

Azure Functions lets you execute your code in a serverless environment without having to first create a VM or publish a web application.In Azure Functions, input and output bindings provide a declarative way to connect to external service data from your function.In this tutorial, we are going check how to update the function we have created to have an output binding to store the data.Azure Functions allows to write code in response to events in Azure and other services, through triggers and bindings.

#4.Docker tutorial : Build Docker images using Jenkins

Docker as we know,is an open platform for developers and sysadmins to build, ship, and run distributed applications, whether on laptops, data center VMs, or the cloud.

In this article, we are going to check how to configure Jenkins to build Docker Images based on a Dockerfile. Below are the steps of how you can use Docker within a CI/CD pipeline, using Images as a build artifact that can be promoted to different environments and finally production.

#5.12 Open Source IoT Platforms that you should know

The Internet of Things (IoT) has opened up a new, virtually inexhaustible source of technical innovations, which are equally valuable for a broad variety of industries. Applying smart connected devices, sensors, and gateways to control each part of the production process, manufacturing and infrastructure companies are dramatically increasing their operational efficiency. At the same time, the consumer tech market has exploded with abundance of smart products and spin-off cloud services that they brought to life.

In this article,we are going to look at some of the notable open source projects in IoT arena!

#6.Serverless Comparison : AWS Lambda vs. Azure Functions vs. Google Functions

In this article,we will compare above cloud provider’s support for Serverless,also its advantages/disadvantages.

#7.5 easy steps to mine & earn Ethereum on Azure

Ethereum as we know is an open blockchain platform that lets anyone build and use decentralized applications that run on blockchain technology.In this post,lets check the steps of how to setup mining in Azure.

#8.Build real time Twitter dashboard using Azure LogicApps + Power BI

In this post,we are going to look how to build a real-time PowerBi dashboard using any of trending Twitter hashtags (ex.#Rajinikanth hashtag) here we are going to analyse social media sentiment post Rajini’s political debut, by analysing twitter hastags hope you would like it!

#9.Tutorial : Prometheus open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit

Prometheus is an open-source systems monitoring and alerting toolkit originally built at SoundCloud.Prometheus primarily supports a pull-based HTTP model but it also supports alerts, it would be right fit to be part of your operational toolset. Prometheus works well for recording any purely numeric time series. It fits both machine-centric monitoring as well as monitoring of highly dynamic service-oriented architectures.

In this post,we are going to learn about Prometheus concepts,configuration & view metrics.

#10.TOP 20 Microservices Design Patterns

Microservices  is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which implement business capabilities.Applications built as a set of modular components are easier to understand, easier to test, and most importantly easier to maintain over the life of the application.

In this article,check out some of key micoservices design patterns.
