Azure

Finally, Microsoft launches "Natural language to SQL," after it has been available for several months in Optimizely CMS!

When running Optimizely CMS in Azure, you will be using an instance bound cloud license. What instances are counted, and how can you check them? Let me explain...

You may adjust the log levels for your site in Optimizely DXP yourself, but only for the Integration environment. Follow this step-by-step guide.

When running your .NET website on a Linux-based WebApp, you might want to set the current culture to make sure dates are formatted correctly, etc.

.NET 5 has reached end of support - you should update to .NET 6 today!

The time zone for a Windows-based Azure WebApp can be set using the WEBSITE_TIME_ZONE app setting. If you try the same with a Linux-based WebApp you may find yourself in trouble. Read how to do it!

If you are doing manual updates directly to your Episerver database, or performing an upgrade that updates the database schema it could be a good idea to have a backup from the exact time right before the change is made. In Azure, you always have!

For noen måneder siden var det ikke fritt frem for å opprette SQL-databaser i Azure-regionen Norway East - men nå er det! Jeg viser hvordan man kan flytte en Azure SQL-database på tvers av regioner.

The time zone of an WebApp will be UTC by default, but you may change it with an AppSetting.

I made a module for Episerver CMS that uses Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Computer Vision API to generate automatic metadata for uploaded images.

With the introduction of the GDPR storing personal information is not something that should be taken lightly. Using Azure Cognitive Services it is possible to identify what's in the images that editors, or users, upload to your site. You may then choose to take action, based on the identified content and your policy.
