In this episode of The Endpoint Zone with Brad Anderson, Brad and Simon talk about Windows PCs in the modern workplace and what it means to manage them. They spend time delving into the reasons why co-management is better than co-existence and why ONLY Intune and ConfigMgr can provide co-management. Also as mentioned, here's a link to the Microsoft Office Twins Challenge

Corey Sanders, Corporate VP of Microsoft Solutions sat down with Scott Manchester, Principal Group PM on the Silicon, Graphics and Media team to talk about what new things are available in the current preview of Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) being offered in Azure. Windows Virtual Desktop was released in preview on March 21st, 2019 and had a bare bones method of PowerShell and direct API calls being made to manage and configure it. A lot has evolved since the preview kicked off! In this episode - Scott is here to show Corey the progress the team has made to create a much easier Azure portal experience to setup and manage your WVD HostPools. At the time of recording there were over 4800 tenants participating in this preview - running their workloads in Azure. Prior to WVD being announced - if you wanted some type of desktop experience in Azure - you had the choice of running a shared Server VM in the cloud, with desktop experience installed or you stood up and ran a full VDI infrastructure. Now with Windows Virtual Desktop - you enable a Windows 10 multi-user scenario based on a solid PaaS offering where Azure handles all the infrastructure required. Scott walks though this new preview portal experience to easily provision a new host pool along with all sorts of easily selected parameters. Because this is now integrated into the Azure experience - it also exposes all sorts of platform parameters like subnets, IP address ranges and more robust VM size options. Speaking of sizing the pool - a sizing calculator allows you to define your workload and define sizing density and performance levels to optimally recommend your host pool size.

Securing IoT, especially the intelligent edge, is a tall challenge that is best deliverable through a transparent community approach of unifying value contributions from various technology expertise to include but not limited to secure chip technologies, cryptography, software security engineering, and secure device engineering. The IoT Edge security model encourages this transparent community approach where we invite the experts to join us in engineering a safe and secure IoT. Is this episode of the IoT Show, Eustace Asanghanwa, security PM in the Azure IoT team, walks us through the Azure IoT Edge security model and describes the Azure IoT Edge Security Manager.

Five Things is back, baby! We're back and this week we're bringing you five tools for building API's with GraphQL. True story, we shot this at the end of about a twelve hour day and you can see the pain in Burke's eyes. It's not GraphQL he doesn't like, it's filming for six straight hours. Also, Chris picks whistles over bells (because of course he does) and Burke fights to stay awake for four minutes.
