It felt like #GenerativeAI took over the world in 2023. You may have noted that GenAI is the thread woven throughout these trends. In fact, the most disruptive force in technology in 2023 will also remain the hottest workload in 2024. Now IT leaders must marshal their infrastructure resources to consume more GenAI workloads—spanning the multicloud estate across clouds, on-premises, colos, and the edge. This will require careful consideration of the compute and storage, as well as the architecture that will situate and run them. A multicloud-by-design approach to IT infrastructure provides a smart, responsible path. And a trusted partner can light the way along their journey.

It’s almost impossible to envision a future for corporate IT infrastructure without AI. We’re enabling Microsoft to be a catalyst for innovation, and we’re committed to innovating with AI to streamline our IT operations. AI holds enormous potential across the entire enterprise IT infrastructure, and within Microsoft Digital we are seeing how the benefits of AI-enabled transformation play out across several specific pillars: Device management, network infrastructure, tenant management, security, and the IT support experience. #AI #MicrosoftDigital #DigitalTransformation #IT https://lnkd.in/dE__YPXV

In 2023, it seemed like #GenAI had taken over the world. As a result, IT leaders now need to manage their infrastructure resources effectively to handle GenAI workloads. This includes managing workloads across various locations, such as the multicloud estate, on-premises, colos, and the #EDGE.

Better together: IBM and Microsoft make enterprise-wide transformation a reality

Revolutionize Your Scaling Performance with Standby Pools for Virtual Machine Scale Sets 🚀🔥 Excited to introduce the public preview of Standby Pools for Virtual Machine Scale Sets with flexible orchestration 🎉. This new service boosts your scaling performance by creating a pool of pre-provisioned virtual machines that your scale set can pull from when scaling out 🚀. Standby Pools save time by performing various initialization steps such as installing applications/software or loading large data sets 🕓. These steps are performed on the virtual machines in the standby pool before they are moved into the scale set 🔄. With Standby Pools, you can complete all the work you would normally do after receiving a virtual machine in the pool 🛠️. This ensures that the VMs in your scale set are the ones doing the work, while your pooled VMs are ready to go at any time ⏱️. When it’s time to scale up, a VM is automatically pulled from the pool at each scale-out event 📈. If your VM is in a running state, it’s ready to go immediately 🏃♀️. If you’re using deactivated VMs to save costs, we automatically move the VM from the pool into the scale set and start it 🔄. With deactivated VMs, you only experience the latency from the time the VM is shut down to when it’s running 🕒. There’s no additional waiting for your application to be installed or scripts to download binaries 🚫. These steps have already been performed in the pool 🎉. When it’s time to scale your scale set back down, the pool automatically refills to maintain the maxReadyCapacity 🔄. This ensures you always maintain a safe balance of VMs in your scale set and VMs in your standby pool ⚖️. Key benefits include: - Saving time by performing post-provisioning actions in the pool before instances are moved into the scale set 🕓 - Boosting scaling performance 🚀 - Saving costs by utilizing deactivated virtual machines 💰 - Maintaining a safety net of VMs ready to scale at any time 🛡️ - The standby pool scales up and down automatically based on your scale set capacity 🔄 Standby Pools are ideal for large and small businesses that need to scale their workloads quickly and have long post-provisioning steps 🏢. They’re also suitable for organizations that need a cost-effective and low-latency scaling solution 💼, as well as customers looking to optimize their deployments for random traffic spikes 📈. Adding a standby pool to a new Virtual Machine Scale Set or an existing one is easy and can be done through the Azure portal or your preferred SDK like .NET, Java, PowerShell, CLI, and more 🎉. #Azure #VirtualMachine #ScaleSet #StandbyPool #CloudComputing #TechNews https://lnkd.in/eTUapVRD

Situation An ART management system (Health domain) wants to enhance the end-user experience by providing high-speed, low-latency mobile services. They need to deploy their infrastructure closer to their end-users to achieve this. However, building and maintaining data centers in every location is not a cost-effective solution. Task The system needs to find a way to deploy their Kubernetes workloads closer to their end-users while ensuring high availability and low latency. Action The system can create an Azure AKS in Azure Stack, Local Zones, or Wavelength. AKS is a fully managed Kubernetes service that makes it easy to run and scale containerized applications. By deploying an AKS cluster in Azure Stack, Local Zones, or Wavelength, the company can ensure that their Kubernetes workloads are running closer to their end-users, reducing latency and improving performance. They can also take advantage of the scalable and highly available nature of the AKS cluster to ensure that their services remain up and running even in the event of hardware or software failures. The ART system can also leverage the auto-scaling capabilities of the AKS cluster to automatically scale their services up or down based on demand. This ensures that they can handle traffic spikes without having to worry about manually scaling their infrastructure. Result By creating an AKS cluster in Azure Stack, Local Zones, or Wavelength, the ART management system can enhance the end-user experience by providing high-speed, low-latency mobile services. They can also ensure high availability and scalability of their Kubernetes workloads, ultimately leading to higher customer satisfaction and retention.
