Today we are excited to announce the general availability of Azure Monitor, Microsoft’s built-in platform monitoring service for Azure.

As you create your workloads in Azure the essential monitoring capabilities are available without any need for manual configuration or purchase of additional tools, enabling a seamless movement to the cloud. Azure Monitor provides you all the vital monitoring telemetry including platform- and service-level metrics and logs, gives you the ability to configure alerts to take intelligent actions on that data, and empowers you to unlock deeper insights and analytics on top of the telemetry through seamless integration with your preferred advanced monitoring solutions. Azure monitor comes with REST APIs, Resource Manager templates, PowerShell cmdlets and Azure CLI support, enabling flexibility in how you consume and configure monitoring capabilities.

We are excited to see the growth and adoption of Azure Monitor among customers and partners alike since preview. We want to take a moment to acknowledge your continued support and feedback and share stories about how our customers and partners are responding to the service.

Built-in support for alerts and notifications

New Zealand based Theta Systems Ltd is a premier consulting service that provides Azure-based solutions to many of their clients. The DevOps team at Theta uses Azure Monitor as their first line of defense for everything related to monitoring.

“At Theta, we have a customer in the utilities sector with an implementation of multiple Logic Apps in production for which we provide 24/7 support. Azure Monitor is a crucial part of our support strategy and gives us all the necessary features to stay on top of issues,” said Wagner Silveira, Principal Integration Architect at Theta. “Using Azure dashboards we have a good overview of the status of the integration environment – we track successful runs and failed runs, in the last 3 hours, for each one of the logic apps in the solution. Our service desk has a one stop shop to see the current health of the system and drill down to specific information when and where required. We use email alerts to get notified of issues before the client notices it, allowing us to be proactive in our support of the solution. Understanding the patterns of alert triggers via Activity Logs helps us proactively identify, prioritize and fix issues, avoiding future errors.”

Wagner continued, “Having many such built-in features in Azure was a very positive aspect for both the client and our support team. It is definitely a feature loved by them. Although no one wants to see errors in their solution, it is reassuring that when it happens, we have the tools to help us to act swiftly on it.”

Theta Systems seeks to maintain highly available services on the Azure cloud, which requires them to get immediate notification of any incident whether the source is poor performance of an individual resource, a change to an Azure subscription, or even a service health incident from Azure.

New Activity Log alerts with SMS, webhook and email notifications

While our existing metric-based alerts have allowed you to become aware of issues in your infrastructure and take automated action using email and webhooks, many of you wanted to create alerts on Activity Log events to do the same for events such as VM reboot, deployment failure, or user permission change. Today we are excited to announce two new features, also now generally available, that help you with just that: Reusable “Action Groups” for managing lists of alert “receivers” and Activity Log Alerts. These flexible new tools enable a wide range of options for alerting, including the ability to have your operations team receive an SMS when events such as an Azure service health incident, a deployment failure, or an autoscale event occur. To learn more about these new features, please visit our documentation.

Unlocking deeper insights and integrated end-to-end monitoring

Rackspace’s Microsoft Cloud team provides Fanatical Support for Azure, delivering expert-level monitoring and management support for their customers’ workloads on Azure. The support team at Rackspace leverages resource- and platform-level telemetry from Azure Monitor in conjunction with rich operational insights from Azure Log Analytics, available as part of Microsoft Operations Management Suite, to perform end-to-end monitoring and troubleshooting for their customers.

“To have a holistic view of your environment, you need to have insights into many things including: the health of the cloud platform, IaaS VM telemetry, application logs, as well as PaaS metrics. At Rackspace we have harnessed the power of Azure Log Analytics to provide a leading Azure support experience for our customers”, quoted Dugan Sheehan – Principal Product Architect – Azure Cloud, Rackspace. “Azure Log Analytics and Azure Monitor offer very strong capabilities out of the box, and the extensible nature of these services allowed us to very quickly develop our production monitoring offering. Through automation (using ARM Template) we can fully onboard a new customer environment in a matter of minutes. Our standard workspace deployment includes things such as Windows/Linux performance counters and events, Azure Activity Logs, Azure PaaS metrics and logs among other telemetry data from applications. Now, let’s say that you receive an availability alert for your web site, and you want to perform root cause analysis. Upon logging into Azure Portal you could instantly check a number of things related to your application: Query Activity log for platform-level events or errors in App Services, query the metrics for performance and health of the web site or search for errors from components in the application.”

Dugan added, “It would take a monumental amount of time, money and effort to recreate the comprehensive services provided by Azure Log Analytics and Azure Monitor. Leveraging these services allows Rackspace the time to focus on other unique and leading customer centric support features and drive significant value to our customers.”

As you continue to grow your footprint in Azure, you need scalable monitoring solutions to gain deep insights and take intelligent actions promptly. With platform-level telemetry from Azure Monitor, application-level telemetry from Application Insights and the ability to seamlessly analyze, search and alert across all that data in Azure Log Analytics, customers can unlock a holistic end-to-end monitoring and management experience all within the Azure portal.

A growing ecosystem

Azure Monitor also goes beyond completing Microsoft’s holistic monitoring experience to provide simple and powerful integration points for a growing number of partner tools. Azure customers use a variety of services to meet their individual needs, and we work closely with many of them to enable high-quality experience for Azure in their solutions.

Datadog Inc is one such partner offering a single pane of glass for monitoring infrastructure and has been continuously boosting their Azure integration & support using Azure Monitor.

"The Azure Monitor API allows our customers to gain insights across the various Azure services they are running. Once their Azure telemetry arrives in Datadog, customers take advantage of interactive dashboards, alerts, collaborative troubleshooting and integrated application monitoring experiences among other capabilities," said Amit Agarwal, Chief Product Officer at Datadog. " We've seen the tremendous adoption of the Azure platform amongst our enterprise customers over the past year."

Our full list of partners integrating with Azure Monitor today is available here. We’re committed to building an open ecosystem of partners to deliver the best monitoring experiences for Azure customers, so we invite you to give us feedback on the tools most important to have integrated with Azure Monitor using this brief survey.

Wrapping up

We are excited to see the tremendous adoption of Azure Monitor. In the coming months, you will see additional services emitting data through Azure Monitor. Based on your feedback, many service teams are considering enriching their telemetry by adding more metrics and logs. You can also expect to see richer alerting, auto scaling and log routing experiences become available.

Before we sign-off, here is a quick overview of Azure Monitor.

After Internet Privacy Vote, Some ISPs Pledge Not To Sell Browsing Histories

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai

This week, Congress voted to gut internet privacy regulations. The new legislation — which only needs President Trump’s signature to become law — would make it easier for internet providers like Comcast and Verizon to sell your browsing history and other information about your online habits to third parties. But just as giant carriers are seeing new avenues for data collection and ad revenue opening up, two California-based internet providers have pledged not to sell their customers’ browsing history, or any other data.

Sonic, a carrier with around 100,000 subscribers that offers service to most of California, and Monkeybrains, a San Francisco-based provider with around 9,000 subscribers, both promise to never sell your internet browsing history, subscriber information, or usage data.

“We're not in the business of selling data and we&039;ve never done so. We provide internet as a service and that’s it,” Alex Menendez, co-founder of Monkeybrains.net, told BuzzFeed News. “We have consistently had pro-consumer policies with regards to our privacy practices,” Dane Jasper, the CEO of Sonic, told BuzzFeed News. “We have a long history of differentiating ourselves that way.”

The Electronic Frontier Foundation consistently gives Sonic the highest marks on its annual scorecard “Who Has Your Back,” which evaluates the privacy and transparency practices of internet and technology companies. Monkeybrains counts the EFF as a client of its own. Both companies were among more than a dozen small-scale ISP and networking companies who publicly opposed the repeal of the internet privacy rules. But most Americans don’t have access to these services and have to rely on big ISPs for internet access.

Back in January, several major internet providers, including Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Charter, and T-Mobile, voluntarily pledged to abide by a set of “ISP Privacy Principles” which rely on guidelines shaped by the Federal Trade Commission. However, there’s a crucial difference between these FTC guidelines and the more robust Obama-era rules that Congress just voted to overturn. The rules established that your browsing history is considered “sensitive” information, meaning that broadband providers first need to get permission before they can share it with third party companies like advertisers.

The ISPs, in their privacy principles, made no such commitment. They favor the older FTC guidelines, where customers’ browsing history may be collected and shared by default, without your affirmative consent.

Now that a Republican-controlled Congress has voted to ensure that these stronger rules won’t take effect, consumer advocates and former regulators have argued that key protections have been erased. Internet providers now have more freedom to make money off of your online activity.

“There is no reason to compete on privacy — that&039;s the problem.”

Under its privacy policy, AT&T, for example, states that it may collect: “IP addresses, URLs, data transmission rates and delays. We also learn about the pages you visit, the time you spend, the links or advertisements you see and follow, the search terms you enter, how often you open an application, how long you spend using the app and other similar information.”

“We or our advertising partners may use anonymous information gathered through cookies and similar technologies, as well as other anonymous and aggregate information that either of us may have to help us tailor the ads you see on non-AT&T sites,” the privacy policy states. “For example, if you see an ad from us on a non-AT&T sports-related website, you may later receive an ad for sporting equipment delivered by us on a different website. This is called Online Behavioral Advertising, which is a type of Relevant Advertising.”

When asked how they planned to use customers’ web histories if the rules were removed, AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint directed BuzzFeed News to their privacy policies. Comcast, Charter, and T-Mobile did not respond to queries about their use of browsing history. (Disclosure: Comcast Corp.&039;s NBCUniversal is an investor in BuzzFeed.)

Telecom industry representatives and Republican lawmakers say they oppose the privacy rules because they unfairly target ISPs, while favoring web companies like Google and Facebook. Because the rules don’t apply to these companies, they can use their customers’ data to rake in ad dollars.

USTelecom told BuzzFeed News that the repeal opens up advertising opportunities for internet providers, which may be helpful to consumers. NCTA — The Internet & Television Association told BuzzFeed News that the repeal will allow internet providers to better compete in the advertising marketplace.

But privacy advocates and Democratic lawmakers have argued that internet subscribers need special protections for two main reasons. The first is that ISPs can monitor everything a person does online, so long as the traffic is unencrypted, which is something web services like Google and Facebook cannot do. Second, most Americans live in areas with only a single internet provider. That means they can’t switch to more privacy-friendly ISPs like Sonic or Monkeybrains; instead, they’re forced to accept the privacy practices of a single carrier if they want internet access.

“We don&039;t believe that telephone companies should listen to our telephone calls,” Sonic’s Jasper said, using an analogy to describe how customers view their internet providers. “Carriers are in a different position, and that position is a trusted position in the minds of consumers.”

On platforms like YouTube and Gmail, for example, Jasper said there is a commonly understood relationship, where businesses provide a free service in exchange for advertising that’s shaped around tracking your behavior. This “implicit compact,” he argued, doesn’t exist between customers and their internet service providers.

Jeff Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, told BuzzFeed News that he hopes consumer pressure might influence how internet providers modify their data collection, but absent strong regulations, he believes the economic incentives are too strong for the big ISPs to ignore. “There is no reason to compete on privacy — that&039;s the problem,” he said.

“You could make the argument that it’s good business — and it is — but there are no regulations requiring any real privacy protections at all. If everybody is just buying and selling your data, then being the one that says &039;No, I&039;ll do better&039; does impact the bottom line.”

Azure Backup’s cloud-first approach and why it matters

Backup is all about how quickly you can be back up from a disaster or data loss situation. On this World Backup Day, this blog post is dedicated to explaining Azure Backup's cloud-first approach and how it helps you be back up quickly and securely.

Backup is a deeply entrenched market and companies generally tend to stick with their backup solution unless there are major shifts in the IT infrastructure. When such a shift occurs, companies are open to evaluating alternate backup solutions that offer significant value tied to that infrastructure shift. Virtualization was a hardware infrastructure inflection that happened in the 2000s that allowed companies to significantly reduce their IT costs with the consolidation and portability benefits offered by virtualization. It also allowed new backup players to emerge and the ones that delivered significant value tied to virtualization became successful. The infrastructure inflection currently underway is the shift to the public cloud and Azure Backup has taken a cloud-first approach to deliver maximum value for backup scenarios in a cloud-transformed IT environment.

Cloud-first value propositions

These are the benefits customers would likely expect in backup scenarios as they augment the public cloud to their IT infrastructure:

Consistent management experience for Hybrid IT: Companies will be in a hybrid model where in addition to the on-premise IT, they will have a cloud foot print that has IaaS (“lift-and-shift applications”) that possibly extends to PaaS (“born-in-the-cloud applications”) and SaaS (O365). It is important to have a consistent experience to manage backups across the IT assets in this hybrid model.
Agility: Business owners are seeking more agility offered by the public cloud where they can deploy solutions from the marketplace to meet their business needs. From a backup perspective, an application admin should be able to sign up for backup and do self-service restores without having to go through a central IT process to provision compute/storage in the cloud to enable backup.
Reduce TCO (Total Cost of Ownership): A subscription based model (PAYG) is an obvious benefit of the public cloud, but it is also important to consider overall IT cost for backup. For example, if you need to deploy additional infrastructure in the cloud (compute and storage) for backups your overall costs would be higher.
Freedom from infrastructure: This is one of the fundamental benefits companies seek when they move their IT to the cloud and since backup has a significant infrastructure footprint in on-premises IT (storage, compute, licenses, etc), an infrastructure-less backup solution would be a natural expectation for customers.

There are 3 possible approaches backup solutions can take to leverage the cloud inflection and it is important to consider how well they deliver on the above promises in each approach:

Cloud as storage: In this model, the backup solution leverages the public cloud as a storage target for backup either for the second backup copy or to replace tape backups. The customer still needs to manage storage in the cloud, pay for any egress costs for restores, and manage bulk of backup infrastructure that is still on premises.
Cloud as infrastructure: This is the next level where the customer can run the backup application in an IaaS VM, which can protect applications deployed in IaaS. While it does offer a similar experience, it can only protect IaaS VMs and not the other cloud assets (PaaS, SaaS) and has TCO implications. For example, a single IaaS VM only supports 32 TB of total addressable storage, which is far too small for a backup application so to back up at scale, customers need to deploy additional IaaS VMs, configure scale sets for availability and provision/manage backup storage, all of which adds to the overall TCO for backup. Also, as the name implies, it does not free the customer from infrastructure management which is a fundamental promise of moving to the cloud.
Cloud as platform: Backup can be built in a PaaS model to deliver backup as a service and architected to provide a consistent management experience to both on premises infrastructure as well as backup for born-in-the-cloud applications (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS). Since all the service infrastructure is owned and managed by the service, there would be no additional costs for the backup and there is complete freedom from managing infrastructure associated with backup.

Azure Backup is architected from the ground-up as a first-class PaaS service in Azure as described in approach 3 and delivers on the cloud promises customers expect as they cloud transform their IT infrastructure. In addition, since it is a first-party service in Azure, it can also leverage other services in Azure to deliver value beyond backup scenarios. For example, rich monitoring and reporting using PowerBI or the capability to do advanced analytics on backup data in Azure.

Compelling backup scenarios enabled by the cloud first architecture

The cloud-first approach of Azure Backup provides unique benefits to customers which are either difficult or not possible in traditional approaches.

Native Backup for IaaS/PaaS: Azure Backup seamlessly integrates with IaaS VM by providing an enable-backup experience in the VM blade itself. A VM extension is deployed when the customer chooses to enable backup and with a few clicks, the IaaS VM is configured for backup. Backup can also be enabled via ARM templates and it supports all the features of IaaS VMs such as disk encryption, premium disks etc. This capability will be extended for SQL Azure, Azure Files, and other Azure PaaS assets like WebApps and Service Fabric for a first-class backup experience in Azure.
Restore as a service: One of the key concerns customers have when they store their backups in the cloud is the restore experience. There are egress costs, the time it takes to restore data back on premises and handling encryption requirements. Restore operation typically requires all the data has to be restored on premises or a restore appliance needs to be hydrated in the cloud to browse items from the cloud restore points. Azure Backup, restore-as-a-service feature uses a unique approach to mount a cloud recovery point as a volume and browse it to enable item-level-restore. The customer does not need to provision any infrastructure and the egress from Azure is free which are both unique value propositions of Azure Backup. This feature is currently available for IaaS VMS (Windows and Linux) and on premise Windows servers. The same capability for System Center Data Protection Manager and Microsoft Azure Backup Server will be available over the next few months.

Secure Cloud Backups: Azure Backup leverages Azure authentication services to provide multiple layers of security to secure cloud backups against malware attacks such as ransomware. While the predominant ransomware attacks are limited to infecting on-premises data, some of the more evolved ransomware attacks also target backup copies of the data. Typical infections include reducing backup retention, re-encrypting data, and deleting backup schedule/copies that are initiated from compromised machines. Azure backup has several layers of protection to prevent and alert against such attacks.

Lyft Is Launching A Commuter Shuttle Service

Lyft, your “woke” ride-hailing option, has started testing a shuttle service in San Francisco and Chicago.

Available only during commute hours (6:30 to 10 a.m. and 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays), Lyft says its shuttles will cost a fixed price that won't be subject to surge pricing during high-demand commuting hours. Lyft says the cost of a Shuttle ride will vary depending on the length of the trip; a screenshot the company shared with BuzzFeed News suggests a benchmark price for a Shuttle ride is $3.50.

Lyft says Shuttle is an extension of its Line service, a cheap and popular carpool feature that is competitive with Uber Pool. “Lyft Line is the future of rideshare, and we often test new features that we believe will have positive impact on our passengers&039; transportation options,” the company statement reads.

A Lyft spokesperson said drivers will earn the same amount driving Shuttle as they do driving Lyft Line.

To book a shuttle ride, passengers type in their destination, get matched with a Lyft shuttle route, and walk to the pick up spot. Commuters trying to make the morning meeting can expect Shuttle to estimate how long it will take to walk to the pickup spot, how long the drive will be, and how long it will take to walk from the drop off point to the final destination.

Here’s how the system will work, based on an email Lyft sent to customers.

Lyft Line is a door-to-door ride hail service with extra stops to pick up and drop off fellow carpoolers along the way, but Shuttle has fixed routes, and passengers will need to walk to central points on both ends of the trip.

Based on the email, it looks the shuttle routes in San Francisco will primarily serve passengers who live and work in the city&039;s posher neighborhoods (like the Marina and Russian Hill) and the South of Market neighborhood where lots of tech companies have their offices. Lyft says Shuttle will only appear as an option when you launch the app if you&039;re near one of these routes.

If the idea of multiple people sharing a ride from a mutually convenient origin point to mutually convenient destinations along a fixed route sounds a lot like a bus to you, you&039;re right. Ride-hailing services have been working with public transit authorities in various cities, and they&039;ve had aspirations to replace or at least augment mass transit for a while now.

The use of private shuttle buses instead of public transit options is a historically contentious issue in San Francisco, where busloads of tech employees use private, company-funded shuttles to get to and from work in Silicon Valley everyday. But there&039;s also opportunity, and therefore competition, in the commuter transit space; last fall, Ford acquired Chariot, a San Francisco-based shuttle company that is also meant to supplement public transportation.

Tesla's Valuation Could Overtake Ford Any Day Now

Susana Bates / AFP / Getty Images

Tesla, the loss-making electric car company that sold about 84,000 vehicles last year, is now worth about as much as Ford, which sold 6.7 million cars in 2016 and turned a $4.6 billion profit.

Valuations for the two companies converged in recent months, as Ford slid and Tesla surged. By Wednesday afternoon, Tesla was worth $45.2 billion and Ford's was valued at $46.6 billion, according to Bloomberg data. Tesla could overtake Ford any day now, and become America&039;s second most valuable car company. GM, the current number one, is worth about $54 billion.

How wildly optimistic are investors about electric cars? Based on its current market price, Tesla is worth about $600,000 per vehicle sold in 2016, while Ford is worth about $7,000, according to calculations by Barclays analyst Brian Johnson.

Here’s the market valuation of Ford, in light blue, and Tesla, in black, over the last 12 months, up to the close of trading Tuesday

The stock market, of course, is supposed to reflect how investors rate the future of a company, not its past. On that front, Tesla, founded in 2003, has plenty of reasons for optimism. The company is right at the front of the two biggest trends in the industry: electric engines and self-driving cars.

And its revenues are heading up, fast: in 2016 it brought in $7 billion, up 73% on the year prior and up almost 1600% compared to four years ago. Ford&039;s revenue barely moved in 2016 and is up about 14% since 2012.

Analysts expect Tesla&039;s revenues to keep surging as it releases more affordable models — their best guess is the company could sell $19 billion worth of cars in 2018, according to data collected by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Ford, on the other hand, is expected by analysts to see its revenues fall slightly in the same period.

Ford, like other major carmakers, is making sizable investments in self-driving technology and electric vehicles, but none have captured the imagination like Tesla. Imagination or not, Ford is in good shape to benefit from lower gas prices, as buyers move away from sedans and towards Ford&039;s more profitable SUVs and trucks.

But it&039;s easy to see why investors have a crush on Tesla. If the future of of transport involves a network of self-driving electric cars, powered by batteries that charge with solar power, Tesla has set itself up to benefit from it. The company is rushing to build a giant battery factory, and now owns a major solar power business as well.

Tesla stock has risen 22% in the last year, and 714% in the last five years. Ford shares, on the other hand, have fallen by 11% and 5% in the last 1 and 5 years respectively.

Tesla also earned the endorsement of another massive technology company on Tuesday, when Tencent, the Chinese internet conglomerate that runs the social network WeChat, bought 5% of the company. Tencent is a “new adherent” of the “Tesla cult,” Johnson wrote.

Some still have their doubts. Hedge fund manager Jim Chanos has long questioned Tesla&039;s business prospects, and those of its recently acquired solar energy business, Solar City, saying that the loss-making car company would constantly have to take new money from shareholders to fund its losses.

Johnson said in February that the jump in Tesla stock (the shares fell after the election and started rising again in December) had “less to do…with anything around the near-term financials, and more to do with the nearly superhero status of Elon Musk.”

Here Are The 15 Most Batshit Things People Have Lost In Ubers

Uber released a series of ~fascinating~ lists today about what people lose in Ubers and when they lose it.

Giphy

The top five most commonly lost items are what you'd expect.

Phone
Ring
Keys
Wallet
Glasses

Getting back your phone seems tricky, given that Uber is an app. But it&039;s possible.

There are certain cities where people are more prone to losing their stuff:

Giphy

Los Angeles
New York City
San Francisco

Tbh, though, these just seem like the cities where people take the most Ubers.

In 2016, a lot of people left something behind in their Uber on Halloween weekend:

Giphy

More people were absent-minded on October 30 and December 11 than any other days of the year. Saturday and Sunday are the days when people lose the most stuff — again, these are the days when it seems people take Uber most frequently. Uber did say that it sees an increase in lost plane tickets on Saturdays and lost wedding dresses on Sundays.

The real treasure, though, is the company&039;s roundup of the “most unique” items abandoned in Ubers:

🤔 We have some questions.

Lobster (was it still alive when you got it back?)
Potted plant (same question as the lobster)
“Valuable Nordic walking poles” (how much $$ we talkin&039;?)
Lottery ticket (same question)
“Sweet potato care package” (“who&039;s my little sweet potato?” —your mom, probably)
Rubber mallet (who are you, the Joker?)
Laser (What kind? For tag, for science, or for annoying people in a movie theater?)
Hot Cheetos (honestly girl they&039;re like $1 plz chill?)
Smoke machine (it&039;s lit?)
Bullet proof vest (…um, what were going to use that for?)
“Meat packet” (…what?)
“Expensive slipper” (hope Cinderella wasn&039;t mad?)
Diary (did the driver read it?)
Arm sling (you took it off and forgot your arm was broken?)
“Money bag” (you used an Uber as a getaway car for a bank robbery?)

Uber wouldn&039;t tell us what happened when people asked for the items back.

Just FYI, here&039;s how you can get your lobster back if you leave it in an Uber, ya klutz:

Twitter revamped its reply feature today: @usernames won’t show up in replies to tweets anymore.

And people are ~stressed~

People pointed out that it&039;s tough to remove yourself from replies with the new feature:

And just generally…loathe the change

But some people love it, I guess?

The overwhelming majority of reactions have been negative, though.
