Ziv Rafalovich joins Scott Hanselman to show how to use low-priority VM scale set for a significant cost saving with Azure. Low-priority VM scale set allows you to take advantage of unutilized capacity without any availability guarantees. By combining low-priority scale sets with autoscaling and mixing two scale sets behind a single SLB, Ziv shows how to get the most out of this new offer currently in preview.

This week, James is joined yet again by friend of the show Sr Cloud Developer Advocate Matt Soucoup, who shows us how to take the pain out of adding user accounts to your apps with Azure AD B2C. He tells us what that acronym stands for, walks us through the Azure portal to setup an Azure AD B2C tenant, and then demonstrates the awesome features that come along with AAB2C; such as social authentication and multi-factor authentication, customizing the login page your app displays when the user signs-in and using the MSAL library within your apps.

Here are some interesting concepts about data in IoT applications Kevin Saye shares with us on the IoT Show: all data has value, data needs to be preserved in its raw form for later usage and you want to store this data in a cost effective manner. Curious about these statements? Watch this very interesting episode about these concepts illustrated with a demo showing Azure Data Lake Analytics used to analyze data from IoT devices collected through Azure IoT Hub.
