4. Microsoft Azure formerly known as Windows Azure – is Microsoft's public cloud computing platform and provides wide
range of cloud services for compute, analytics, storage and networking.
Microsoft is not only professing its love for Linux, but also chasing the latest developments in the Linux ecosystem.
Microsoft has clearly realized that for Azure to stay a top-tier cloud it needs to be an open platform that can keep pace
with the breakneck speed of open source technology development.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) with
Microsoft
In recent years, we have seen the commoditization of artificial intelligence APIs from
vendors such as Microsoft with their Cognitive Services Platform.

Cognitive Services are APIs, SDKs, and services available to help developers build intelligent applications without having
direct AI or data science skills or knowledge. Cognitive Services expand on Microsoft’s evolving portfolio of machine
learning APIs and enable developers to easily add cognitive features – such as emotion and video detection; facial, speech,
and vision recognition; and speech and language understanding – into their applications.
The goal of Azure Cognitive Services is to help developers create applications that can see, hear, speak, understand, and
even begin to reason. The catalog of services within Cognitive Services can be categorized into five main pillars - Vision,
Speech, Language, Search, and Knowledge.

From fully hosted and managed Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to distinct and specialized Platform as a Service
(PaaS) offerings, as well as technologies to build the intelligent edge, Azure IoT delivers a rich set of options and tools that
are adapted to your industry needs and your company skills and resources.

11. IoT Services: There are several IoT-related services in Azure and it can be confusing to figure out which one you want to
use. Some, such as IoT Central and the IoT solution accelerators, provide templates to help you create your own solution
and get started quickly. You can also fully develop your own solutions using other services available -- it all depends on how
much help you want, and how much control. Here is a list of the services available, as well as what you may use them for.
IoT Central: This is a SaaS solution that helps you connect, monitor, and manage your ioT devices. To start, you select a
template for your device type and create and test a basic IoT Central application that the operators of the device will use.
The IoT Central application will also enable you to monitor the devices and provision new devices. This service is for
straightforward solutions that don't require deep service customization.
IoT solution accelerators: This is a collection of PaaS solutions you can use to accelerate your development of an IoT
solution. You start with a provided IoT solution and then fully customize that solution to your requirements. You need Java
or .NET skills to customize the back-end, and JavaScript skills to customize the visualization.
IoT Hub: This service allows you to connect from your devices to an IoT hub, and monitor and control billions of IoT
devices. This is especially useful if you need bi-directional communication between your IoT devices and your back end. This
is the underlying service for IoT Central and IoT solution accelerators.
IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service: This is helper service for IoT Hub that can use to provision devices to IoT hub
securely. With this service, you can easily provision millions of devices rapidly, rather than provisioning them one by one.
IoT Edge: This service builds on top of IoT Hub. It can be used to analyze data on the IoT devices rather than in the cloud.
By moving parts of your workload to the edge, fewer messages need to be sent to the cloud.
Azure Digital Twins: This service enables you to create comprehensive models of physical environment. You can model
the relationships and interactions between people, spaces, and devices. For example, you can predict maintenance needs
for a factory, analyze real-time energy requirements for an electrical grid, or optimize the use of available space for an office.
Time Series Insights: This service enables you to store, visualize, and query large amounts of time series data generated
by IoT devices. You can use this service with IoT Hub.
Azure Maps: This service provides geographic information to web and mobile applications. There is a full set of REST APIs
as well as a web-based JavaScript control that can be used to create flexible applications that work on desktop or mobile
applications for both Apple and Windows devices.

12. The blockchain is decentralized in nature, and provides instant transmission of information. This instant and immutable
transmission of data helps improve the performance of different platforms, such as virtual reality. This is especially true as
the storage of data in centralized units could reduce its growth and viability.
Blockchain technology offers a way for untrusted parties to reach consensus on a common digital history. A common digital
history is important because digital assets and transactions are in theory easily faked and/or duplicated. Blockchain
technology solves this problem without using a trusted intermediary.
Microsoft believes blockchain tech could help fight human trafficking, child exploitation and it is partnering with ConsenSys
and Blockstack Labs to build an open source, blockchain-based identity system to help provide legal identification for people
around the world.
05
Blockchain
Blockchain tech and virtual reality share one thing in common: their lack of awareness
in the public eye. However, they can complement each other in a number of ways. For
example, virtual reality is popular with the creation of digital environments in real
world applications like gaming, property, security, and organizational training.

13.  1.5B people are without proper identification, that's one-fifth of the world's population.
 One in three children under the age of five does not officially exist because their birth has not been recorded.
 Cumulatively, 230M children under the age of five have no birth certificate; this number is growing.
 50M children, the size of the UK, are born without legal identity each year.
The issue of legal identification is often taken for granted in countries such as the US and the UK, but it isn't always easy to
obtain in every country. People without proper identification are more vulnerable to crimes such as human trafficking,
prostitution, and child abuse.
