Improved GitHub builds in Visual Studio Team Services: Did you know that Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) now supports building from GitHub forks? The VSTS team strengthened integration with GitHub by enabling you to build pull requests from repository forks on GitHub.com and continuously integrate from GitHub Enterprise through an official build source.
Deploy Azure Functions as an IoT Edge module: You can use Azure Functions to deploy code that implements your business logic directly to your IoT Edge devices. This tutorial walks you through creating and deploying an Azure Function that filters sensor data on the simulated IoT Edge device that you created in the Deploy Azure IoT Edge on a simulated device on Windows or Linux tutorials. In this tutorial, you learn how to use Visual Studio Code (VSCode) to create an Azure Function, use VSCode and Docker to create a Docker image, and publish it to your registry. Read more.
Accelerated Spark on GPU-enabled clusters in Azure: Along with the recent release of the latest GPU SKUs, the Azure team expanded support running Spark on a GPU-enabled cluster using the Azure Distributed Data Engineering Toolkit (AZTK). In a single command, AZTK allows you to provision on demand GPU-enabled Spark clusters on top of Azure Batch’s infrastructure, helping you take your high performance implementations that are usually single-node only and distribute it across your Spark cluster. Check out the Azure blog for more.
