All you need to know about Azure Applied AI Services

Yönet — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 20:26:15 +0000

We have announced Azure Applied AI Services today. I am getting questions from viewers of the Build Session. I want to give you all the asnwers before you ask in FAQs section, all the links you need and say I am here to answer any of your questions.

TLDR: Applied AI Services makes it easier to implement a full AI solution for specific tasks, like digitilazing documents or managing your Video Assets. Azure Cognitive Services are the building blocks of Applied AI Services, and are still available for anyone to build anything. Applied AI is task specific services; Cognitive Services are general purpose services. Applied AI Services additionally let's you use your own Machine Learning Models if you want to, Cognitive Services doesn't have that option.

With Azure Static Web Apps you can host your serverless web app, continiously deploy with Github actions and easily integrate with your Azure APIs or add your custom authentications and domains.

Sounds too good to be true? Well I would think so if I didn't get to deploy and set up automations with Github Actions, without needing to know anything about actions, in minutes.

You can read more about the key Azure Static Web App features or dive right into it. Seeing is believing, so here are all the things that you can get started with depending on your preference:

Azure Static Web Apps (SWA) is a service that automatically builds and deploys full stack web apps to the Azure Cloud - directly from the code repository. With SWA, static assets are separated from traditional web servers, and served from geographically distributed content servers worldwide for speed and efficiency. API endpoints are hosted using a serverless architecture that is cost-efficient and scalable on-demand.
