Unleashing the Power of Hybrid with Azure Arc-enabled servers

Azure Arc-enabled servers, you can manage Windows and Linux physical servers and virtual machines hosted outside of Azure, on your corporate network, or on another cloud provider. For the purposes of Azure Arc, these non-Azure hosted machines are considered hybrid machines. The management of hybrid machines in Azure Arc is designed to be consistent with how you manage native Azure virtual machines, using standard Azure constructs such as Azure policies and applying tags. When a hybrid machine is connected to Azure, it becomes a connected machine and is treated as a resource in Azure.

In my 30 min. session, I will show you how to connect hybrid (Windows and Linux) machines to Azure using the Azure Connected Machine agent on each machine, and review and customise the pre-built installation script for at-scale deployment of the Connected Machine agent to support your automated deployment needs.

Going real-time using Azure CosmosDB and React

Traditionally, when building SPA applications, it feels a lot like we are looking at the moon. On the light side, we have the shiny and pretty UI, which everyone knows and loves. However, on the dark side, there is the complicated server-side logic behind the scenes we need to manage.

Luckily, there has been much progress towards making our lives as developers a bit easier. This is done by allowing us to concentrate on writing code, instead of causing us headaches from all aspects around hosting, deployment, and management.

In this demo-rich session, we are going to build a real-time stock monitoring system using a serverless React App backed by the power of various Azure features. You will learn how to process documents from Azure Cosmos DB Change Feed, and then broadcast this newly received data to our client, all by using out-of-the-box Azure Functions bindings for Cosmos DB and SignalR.

Coding a Drone Using Unity 3D, .NET and ChatGPT AI!

In this session, we delve into the integration of ChatGPT AI with drone programming to create a more interactive and dynamic control system for the Tello drone, while also improving the productivity and effectiveness of programmers. We will explore the foundations of using Unity 3D and .NET for programming, with a focus on networking and developing a UDP Client and Server that facilitates communication with the drone. This enables us to modify and refine the drone's behavior through AI-generated messages and commands.

By leveraging ChatGPT AI, programmers can streamline their development process and receive suggestions or insights that enhance their decision-making and problem-solving abilities. This AI-driven support results in more efficient and productive development cycles.

We will also discuss the significance of AI and ChatGPT in expanding the capabilities of mixed reality expiriences. By incorporating MRTK (Mixed Reality Toolkit), attendees will gain insight into the mixed reality spectrum and learn valuable tips and tricks for entering this domain. MRTK serves as a versatile tool that simplifies the transition to AR/VR/MR development by offering an advanced volumetric UX/UI system and predefined components for cross-platform projects.

Additionally, we will examine Azure Cognitive Services and their role in enriching drone functionality through AI. The session will culminate in a live demo or video presentation of the drone flying across multiple XR devices, showcasing the potential of AI-driven drone control systems in mixed reality environments. The specific XR devices featured will be unveiled at the beginning of the session.
