Microsoft Ignite happens next week!
November is almost here - and that means we are this much closer to Microsoft Ignite, a signature conference for cloud computing practitioners, IT Pros, developers and decision makers. It's a 2-day event (Nov 2-4) packed with sessions from industry and community experts - and it's free and online!
In addition to the technical sessions, keynotes and "Ask The Experts" interactive Q&A opportunities, you also have multiple learning resources from the Cloud Skills Challenge to Learn Live sessions featuring instructor-led walkthroughs of key learning modules or paths.
Why I'm excited for MSIgnite this year
That's easy - I had the opportunity to work with the Azure Percept Product team and my Azure Cloud Advocates colleagues to create a unique session focused on Azure Percept - a unique solution that accelerates your ability to design, develop, deploy, and manage, your Edge AI solutions.
Here's a sneak peek at what makes this session special - yes, it's an experiment in visual storytelling that hopefully will engage and educate you on why Edge AI matters, and how the Azure Percept platform enables end-to-end solutions to be crafted seamlessly in a scalable and secure manner. Join us!
In addition to these sessions, I also recommend these two sessions from industry partners and early adopters, that will give you additional insights into the platform and features.
- Discover how DataRobot & Microsoft deliver more connected AI solutions at scale
- Automate Your Operations with Edge AI
If you have any questions before or after the event, do drop us a comment below - or join us for the interactive Q&A session (Ask The Experts) during the event.
What is Azure Percept - and Why?
I'm glad you asked! Azure Percept is an end-to-end platform for developing Edge AI solutions that provides:
- "Dev Kit" Hardware with AI-accelerated processing for rapid prototyping.
- "Azure Percept Studio" Portal for low-code & advanced code flows
- Sample AI Models to jumpstart prototyping
- Rich Partner Ecosystem to engage with.
Why Azure Percept?
The short answer is that it was intentionally designed to provide a seamless silicon-to-services approach that anyone can use to develop, deploy, and manage their edge AI solutions - without necessarily having a data science or cloud computing background. Easy integrations with Azure IOT and Azure AI services, and built-in AI models (vision, audio) to support popular scenarios like people or vehicular tracking.
To get started, setup your Azure Percept Dev Kit device - then check out the quickstarts to build your first low-code edge AI solution! Want to learn more? Check out this previous post:
