Domain-Driven Design (DDD) provides much of the strategic design guidance that we can use to determine the boundaries around and interactions between Microservices in our solutions. DDD also follows up with tactical design patterns for your business logic. In this session we'll take a look at some of these patterns and how EF Core naturally, or with some additional configuration, persists the data that your microservices depend on.

Scott and David from the .NET team kick off the day with .NET Core features, roadmap and lots of demos of building microservices with .NET.

ANSYS is a leader in simulation world. ANSYS Twin Builder (https://aka.ms/iotshow/AnsysTwinBuilder) and Microsoft Azure Digital Twins teams came together to integrate physics-based simulations with IoT Data. In this episode, Olivier and Sameer Kher (Senior Director at Ansys) discuss the benefits of this joint solution. The ANSYS Twin Builder combines the power of physics-based simulations and analytics-driven digital twins to provide real-time data transfer, reusable components, ultrafast modeling, and other tools that enable teams to perform "what-if" analyses, and build, validate, and deploy complex systems more easily.

So now you are happy about all the things you learn in those first chapters. But their good chance is that if try to execute the PowerShell or Bash command on your side you will end up with: ____ with given name ____ already exists. The error message saying that this name is already taken because some names needed to be unique. In this chapter, you will learn how to fix this problem and so much more using the ARM templates functions.

Lifting and shifting your application to the cloud is extremely easy, on paper. The hard truth is that the only way to know for sure how it is going to perform is to test it. Benchmarking on-premises is hard enough, but benchmarking in the cloud can get really tricky due to changes in what's exposed in PaaS environments. WorkloadTools is a set of open-source tools that can help you capture, analyze, and replay your workload, on-premises, and in the cloud. In this episode of Data Exposed: MVP Edition, Gianluca Sartori introduces the tool and its capabilities.
