This Week I Learned -
* A custom connector is a wrapper around a REST API (Logic Apps also supports SOAP APIs) that allows Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Power Apps to communicate with that REST or SOAP API. Once you have an API with authenticated access, you can describe your API using OpenAPI definitions and Postman collections so that Logic Apps, Power Automate, or Power Apps can communicate with your API. If you'd like to share your connector with all users of Logic Apps, Power Automate, and Power Apps, you can submit your connector for Microsoft certification.
* Google Cloud Certification - Professional Cloud Architect prep material
* Cisco's perspective on multi-cloud - As the adoption of multicloud has increased, so has the potential for evolution to cloud-native operating models and the transformation in IT capabilities delivered by such an evolution. That transformation, in turn, helps enable agility and responsiveness for the business. Hence, the rationale for multicloud is evolving from IT economics to business advantage—it is what multicloud does for the business that really matters.
* A shared-nothing architecture (SN) is a distributed computing architecture in which each update request is satisfied by a single node (processor/memory/storage unit). The intent is to eliminate contention among nodes. Nodes do not share (independently access) the same memory or storage. SN eliminates single points of failure, allowing the overall system to continue operating despite failures in individual nodes and allowing individual nodes to upgrade without a system-wide shutdown.
* VirtaMove's subscription-based software moves server applications to new cloud or datacenter servers in hours instead of months. Highly customized applications that are no longer supported by the original ISV and using older Windows Server operating systems can be moved with minimal issues and without completely changing the applications. VirtaMove software, was once called AppZero.
