Data marts, warehouses, lakes, whatever the name, the pattern of consolidating data across an enterprise for comprehensive analytics is a familiar one. Every enterprise has many data sources, some operational, some analytics, some telemetry, and bringing them together has always been a challenge. Cleaning the data, curating for consistency, exploring, doing data science, building reports, monitoring, is another series of challenges in bringing a range of tools to bear on the data, thanks to diverse data formats and tooling. With Gen AI, the requirements (e.g., vector indexing for RAG) and potential value of the data have both gone up. And the pressure to ensure right use of the data, to comply to a broad range of regulations, to secure the data has never been higher. We believe the time has come to come together around open data standards to ensure that data is easy to consolidate and easy to plug into a wide variety of tools, all in a properly governed way. Josh and I describe the approach we are taking at Microsoft with Fabric and Purview. We are building on open Parquet-based updatable table formats such as Delta, Iceberg and Hudi, and interop across them with XTable. We are making it easy to consolidate data with mechanisms like mirroring and shortcuts. Ultimately, users should be able to use their tool of choice for a given task with the least friction.

It was an honor to represent the work of my team yesterday at Build. we introduced new features, products and services like 1. Azure Compute fleet which lets you seamlessly scale to 10K VMs using variety of SKUs. 2. VMSS-flex-mix which uses Compute Fleet to provide VMSS customers the ability to scale seamlessly using variety of SKUs. 3. Attach/Detach of VMs to VMSS-flex - this helps customers to scale and get availability guarantees even when you start from a single VM by attaching the running VM to VMSS and scale. 4. Standby Pools- Ability to scale out in seconds and to pre-configure these VMs and maintain a pool. Here is the recording. #scale #build #microsoftbuild #vm #infrastructure

Wishing everyone a Happy Buddha Purnima! On this day of reflection, the Buddha's teachings of compassion, kindness, and gratitude resonate deeply. As I lead my team at Goognu, I find these principles to be the foundation for a successful and fulfilling work environment. By fostering a culture of compassion, we can create a space where everyone feels supported and valued. Kindness goes a long way in building strong relationships within the team, leading to better collaboration and problem-solving. And gratitude? It fuels motivation and keeps us focused on the bigger picture. When we appreciate each other's contributions and celebrate our collective achievements, we create a powerful synergy that propels us towards our company goals. May the Buddha's wisdom guide us all towards a more compassionate, kind, and grateful world, both personally and professionally. #BuddhaPurnima #Compassion #Kindness #Gratitude #Teamwork #CompanyGoals

📉 Bay Area tech's 'layoff surge' has slashed salaries📉 🔻 Tech workers across America saw their salaries shrink in 2023, and those in the Bay Area were hit especially hard, according to new data from a study conducted by the advocacy group Women Impact Tech 🔻 Tech pay dropped an average of 12.1% in 2023, from $207,000 to $182,000 🔻 Workers in the Bay Area received the highest average tech pay of any American metro but also withstood the largest year-over-year drop at 15.25%, according to WIT’s data 🔻 Jobs were still being available. They just weren’t paying as lucratively as we saw people paying right after the pandemic 🔻 The layoffs seemed to have been harder-hitting for women and people early in their careers, and she suggested it’s because they’re less likely to have extensive networks 🔻 American tech workers with less than six years of experience saw around 15% pay decreases on average in 2023 🔻 Tech jobs in the real estate, software, retail, ecommerce, construction and consumer products industries saw the largest salary drops year over year https://lnkd.in/gRfmV9mH

If the phrase 'Nice guys finish last.' Should be eliminated from language, why, after being a noce guy, and doi g the right thing for the people I work for (my employees...), have I kept losing? I work to enhance the abilities of the people I work with to think logically, to understand how to analyze problems, and see that simple aolutions often but bot always are the answer. Why then, has consistently being a nice guy, kept getting me punished for soing the right thing. I cannot do all my team does. We are, together, more than just the sum of our parts. We have to magnifiy the capabilities of each other... not by being an echo chamber, but my being disagreeable when it matters. I never punished anyone for having a difference of opinion. I only fault people for failing to take learning and growing seriously. If I have e er had to suggest improvements more than a few times, then you need to be worried. I do not suffer fools easily. I always give people the chance to learn and grow. But not recognizing that I am doing just that, and trying my best to help you be part of something bigger than all of us together, will be noticed and not recognized in a good way. But if you grow... learn... adapt... build... and healp each other, we will all be successful together. My skills are not measured by how well I remember last years technology... but rather by how well I can help you use last year's technology, to solve tomorrow's problems. That is what you need to succeed.

One of my side passion projects is serving as #HDI Featured Contributor and sharing the experiences, lessons and hopefully a few nuggets of wisdom gained from being in 'the thick' of the operations over the last 20+ years. So here is my take on #adaptiveleadership and leading with agility in turbulent times. My 5 key principles of how to steer through uncertainty? 1) Embrace Change with Open Arms: Adaptive leadership isn't a luxury; it's a necessity 💡 2) Communicate Clearly in the Fog of Uncertainty: When storm clouds gather, clarity becomes the guiding star 🌟 3) Foster Innovation Born from Adversity: True innovation often emerges from the crucible of adversity 🔰 4) Cultivate Resilience in the Face of Setbacks: Setbacks are inevitable, but their impact is determined by the team's resilience 🤲 5) Balance Stability and Flexibility: Adaptive leadership is a delicate dance between stability and flexibility ⚖ One of my favourite phrases (attributed to Winston Churchill, but would love to claim this one ;) is "Never let a good crisis go to waste” is all about not missing an opportunity to reflect on fire drills, IT disasters big and small because these moments provide valuable lessons which have the power to test #teamwork and #resilience, and to shape the #culture and #collaboration of any team. Enjoy! #fridaywisdom #serviceandsupport #learningculture #unisys #innovationmindset Full article link:
