This Week I Learned - Week #245

This Week I Learned -

* Organizations can now reduce their storage costs even further than using Cool Blob Storage by storing their rarely accessed data in the Archive tier.

* Blob-Level Tiering enables customers to optimize storage costs by easily managing the lifecycle of their data across these tiers at the object level.

* Customers can easily change the access tier of a single object among the Hot, Cool, or Archive tiers as usage patterns change, without having to move data between accounts. Blobs in all three access tiers can co-exist within the same account - Azure Blog

* For SAN workloads, Azure provides integration with StorSimple, Microsoft's proprietary SAN appliance. Architecturally, StorSimple comprises an on-premises StorSimple SAN and a virtual cloud-based appliance that replicates the behavior of the on-premises SAN. On Cloud Platform, you can use persistent disks to support workloads that expect SANs. Used in a SAN context, persistent disks are analogous to the logical disk volumes you would access through logical unit number (LUN) devices, and can be provisioned in a similar way. As with LUN-based logical disk volumes, you can mount multiple persistent disks to a single VM instance. You can also mount a single read-only persistent disk to multiple VM instances - Google Cloud Platform for Azure Professionals: Storage

The sad fact we have to face now is that the web is not the main focus of people who want to offer content online any longer. Which seems strange, as apps are much harder to create and you are at the mercy of the store publishers.

* India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, has a population equal to that of Brazil, and India’s most prosperous state, Maharashtra, has an economy roughly the size of Iraq’s. India really is a "country of countries" - HBR

* “Privacy is in peril if data is parted to telecoms. There is no data protection law in place till date” -KTS Tulsi

* “Personal data given is not secured inherently. Data is not stored by the government, but outsourced to companies... American companies, who also supply to Pakistan. The individual has no remedy against data breach” - Anand Grover, senior advocate, Supreme Court of India
