Hey embedded developers, ever tried to transfer 1M of data when your IoT device has only 2K of RAM? Then this IoT show is for you! (aka.ms/iotshow/ulib) Marcos Perez Mokarzel and Dane Walton, Software Developers on the Azure Device SDK team, appear in this episode to talk about the uStream library, written in the C language. uStream is an Azure utility library for embedded and constrained devices. It enables developers to expose and use large amounts of data without the need for large amounts of memory. Marcos gives an overview of the constrained memory use cases that IoT device developers face and Dane steps through how the uStream library solves these issues. Dane presents a system level overview of the uStream library and demos ustream_read(), ustream_clone(), and more . Embedded IoT developers, make your life easier.

Container registries are repositories for storing container images, but who should use them? Which one should we choose and why are they important for cloud native applications? Steve Lasker sits with us in Building 99 today and talks about registries and more specifically Azure Container Registry and the practices around using them for your applications. [03:50] - How do I choose the registry to use?[06:15] - Additional benefits to registries beyond to being close to my deployment?[08:10] - How do you think about life cycle management, from the point of development to long term patching support? I've seen acr build, and tasks, but what's the magic here?[11:00] - Security patching, does that happen automatically with ACR?[14:00] - Steve breaks down the trigger of an automated build by ACR[18:25] - What's coming next?

Showcasing how you can build productive and intelligent solutions with Azure Cognitive Services. We'll walk through a series of demos highlighting our Computer Vision, Form Recognizer and Custom Vision services. Re-Visit Your Favorite Part: [00:39] Here we showcase how the Cognitive Services are allowing businesses to be more productive and intelligent. Azure Cognitive Services are a suite of APIs that allow you to embed the ability to see, hear, speak, search, understand and accelerate decision making into your apps without requiring machine learning expertise [01:10] The code for these demos are available on GitHub Here [01:50] We demo the capabilities of our Form Recognizer service which builds on our OCR capabilities by providing the extracted text in a structured, intelligent format. You can extract key/value pairs as well as tables, forms and receipts without manually labelling by document type or the intensive coding and maintenance required when you build your own model. [03:25] In our last demo we how combining Form Recognizer with Custom Vision can help automate insurance claim processing. Our example solution uses Custom Vision to identify and categorize the damage to a vehicle from an image. We then use Form Recognizer to extract the customer's responses to the insurance claim form into a structured format. Since Form Recognizer provides the key/value pairs instead of just raw, extracted text we can easily pass this structured data on to downstream business processing without the need to manually enter in the customer's responses. We can now quickly verify if the image shows the damage being claimed by the customer. This demo highlights how combining multiple Cognitive Services together allows you to build powerful, productive solutions for your business without requiring deep machine learning expertise.

Azure Maps Mobility Services make the life of an IoT developer easier! And they contribute towards a great end user experience. (aka.ms/iotshow/azuremapsmobilityservice) Watch this episode to see Outi Nyman, Senior Program Manager, Azure Maps, step through the APIs for these services. Designed to support developers creating smart city applications that move people and things from one place to another, they help create applications that decrease traffic congestion and increase air quality. The Mobility Service APIs for Azure Maps are brought to life in partnership with Moovit, Inc. Moovit combines information from public transit operators and authorities with live information from its user community to offer a real-time picture of public transit services, including stops, route information, and travel time estimations. Developers can access Azure Maps Mobility Service APIs through an Azure subscription. Outi demonstrates a few of these APIs including Nearby Transit, Transit Stop Details, Transit Line Details, Transit Route, Transit Itinerary and Real-Time arrivals. She also demonstrates how data can be visualized for the end user with an Azure Maps Web SDK or an Android SDK. With Azure Mobility Services, just a few API calls for the developer create a rich smart city application for the end user! Learn more: aka.ms/iotshow/azuremapsmobilityservice
