This Week I Learned - Week #46 2019
This Week I Learned -
* Azure Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) enables partners to have end-to-end ownership of the customer lifecycle and relationship for Microsoft Azure. That means partners are empowered to manage sales, own the billing relationship, provide technical and billing support, and be the customer's single point of contact. Azure CSP supports only Azure Resource Manager services.
** If you are moving an existing workload to Azure, start with the VM size that's the closest match to your on-premises servers. Then measure the performance of your actual workload in terms of CPU, memory, and disk input/output operations per second (IOPS), and adjust the size as needed.
* When deploying to availability zones, use the Standard SKU of Azure Load Balancer and the v2 SKU of Application Gateway. These SKUs support cross-zone redundancy.
* When possible, Azure prefers at least 300 miles of separation between datacenters in a regional pair, although this isn't practical or possible in all geographies.
* OWASP API Security Top 10 project focuses specifically on the top ten vulnerabilities in API security
* Chrome on Android automatically turns off JavaScript on slow connections in order to speed up page load times.
* At the recommendation of a neuroscientist, all the money is the same size in Europe. It forces you to look longer to see if the bill is a counterfeit.
* The E.U.’s flag is designed by committee, and it shows: The 12 yellow stars don’t represent anything; 12 is somehow considered to be the symbol of perfection and unity - NYT

She was a co-creator of Apache Kafka, a popular open-source stream-processing software platform that was created at LinkedIn. She saw a big opportunity with Kafka and convinced her fellow Kafka co-creators to start Confluent as a B2B infrastructure company in 2014. Kafka's event streaming is used by 60% of Fortune 100 companies today. Goldman Sachs uses it to help deliver information to traders in real-time, Netflix to collect data for its video recommendations, and Uber to analyze data for its surge-pricing system

* 12% of Hyderabad's working population is directly or indirectly employed in the food sector - as bouncers, bakers, baristas, chefs, delivery executives, cooks, scullions, maitres d'hotel, and even rat catchers - The Hindu
* Only the stigmas of each saffron bloom are taken out painstakingly and dried to get the fragrant strands that are among the most expensive spices in the world. About 50,000 flowers yield roughly 500g of the spice.
* Wetlands are areas where water is the primary factor controlling the environment and the associated plant and animal life.
