This Week I Learned -
* Azure Service Health helps you assess the health of Azure, while Azure Monitor helps you determine if there are any issues on your end. Both services use the same alerting platform to keep you notified and informed of the availability and performance of your Azure workloads. This means that you can set up an action group once and use it multiple times for different scenarios. Azure Monitor and Azure Service Health are complementary services that you will often use together when troubleshooting issues. The Azure Status page only reports on major, widespread outages and doesn’t include any information about planned maintenance or other health advisories.
* The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a virtual machine
* PowerShell is available for .NET Core, which also runs on Linux.
* Within Azure Cloud Shell, you can run bash inside PowerShell by typing bash, and you can run PowerShell inside bash by typing pwsh. Cloud Shell is intended for interactive use cases.
* With SQL Server 2017, Microsoft entered the world of multi-OS platform support for SQL Server.
* SQL Server is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and Ubuntu. It is also supported as a Docker image, which can run on Docker Engine on Linux or Docker for Windows/Mac. Microsoft also supports deploying and managing SQL Server containers by using OpenShift and Kubernetes.
* The core Database Engine for SQL Server is the same on Linux as it is on Windows. However, some features are currently not supported on Linux.
* Azure Shared Image Gallery allows sharing of an organization's images among different users, service principals, or AD groups. An image is a copy of either a full VM (including any attached data disks) or just the OS disk, depending on how it is created. When you create a VM from the image, a copy of the VHDs in the image are used to create the disks for the new VM. The image remains in storage and can be used over and over again to create new VMs.
* Ignore X-Frame headers is a Chrome Extension and a developer tool that strips out the X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy HTTP headers from the response to all requests.
* Substital is a Chrome Extension which can play subtitles on videos online
* Understanding the principles of cost optimization [PDF] whitepaper from Google explores five ways to implement and achieve cost optimization for your cloud.
* Owned and operated by Schiphol Group, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is Europe’s fourth-largest airport in terms of passenger numbers. Schiphol is the oldest international airport in the world to be located at the original site of its first aircraft landing. .

* There are 8 kinds of vitamins in the vitamin B complex: thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folate (B9, also known as folic acid), and cobalamin (B12). B12 is naturally found in animal food products, including meat, poultry, (shell)fish, eggs, milk, and other dairy products. Vitamin B12 is generally not present in plant foods, but fortified breakfast cereals are a readily available source of vitamin B12 with high bioavailability
* Fisher Space Pens or Fisher Astronaut Pens are used on all American and Russian manned spaceflights. Because of the unique pressurized refill an Astronaut Pen works under extreme conditions. A Fisher Astronaut Pen works under any angle (including upside-down), under any weather condition (freezing cold, extreme heat) and on virtually any surface (the Fisher Space Pens even work underwater!).
* Chinese culture is more collectivist and displays a greater respect for authority than elsewhere. The relationship between manager and staff is more hierarchical than Western workers might expect. Employees should never shoot down a boss’s idea directly. If there is a difficulty in implementing the plan, they should blame it on outside factors. Working long hours seems to be a way of expressing group solidarity in Chinese companies even though it is not always the most efficient use of time. Employees are expected to attend after-work functions as a way of showing team spirit. Western-style slides with lots of space are seen as lacking useful content - The Economist
* The Indian Army is 13 lakh strong. Some 1.50 lakh troops are mandated for the China front under normal circumstances. However, in emergencies, the numbers can be ramped up - The Tribune

Air India offered training in the 1970s for the fledgling Singapore carrier, Singapore Airlines, soon to be rated the best airline in the world. Government interference, including the sacking of JRD Tata as chairman in 1977, problematic industrial relations, an ageing and demotivated workforce, poor attention to service quality, allegations of corruption, massive losses and unsustainable debt, have all combined to undermine one of the great brands of the world.
