In the last few months, we’ve looked at Azure Databricks: Getting Started Resilient Distributed Dataset Spark SQL – Data Frames Transforming Data Frames in Spark Parsing escaping CSV files in Spark Import Notebooks in Databricks In those articles, we used the Python SDK (also a bit of Spark SQL). In this article, we’ll discuss the … More Python Version in Databricks
I do a lot of proof of concepts (POCs) as part of my job. I hate keeping demo environment around. They tend to become brittle, out-of-date and filled with the last stuff I did. I prefer to start from a clean slate every single time when possible. That means automation. With automation we can recreate … More Linux Custom Script – Docker Sandbox
Let’s talk about Containers in Azure. In this article, we’ll cover services related to Containers in Azure. We’ll see what scenarios they each address. Azure focuses on Docker for container. There are other container technologies out there. But Docker is by far the most popular. Our map will be the current services as of this … More Overview of Docker Containers in Azure
We recently looked at Quantum Computing value proposition. We then looked at scenarios where Quantum Computing would have a big impact. Quantum Computer can solve some problems by several order of magnitude. This brings today’s intractable problems to be easy to solve tomorrow. The key reason for this computation power is Quantum Superposition. In this … More Quantum Computing – How does it scale?
We recently looked at Quantum Computing value proposition. Quantum Computer can solve some problems by several order of magnitude. This brings today’s intractable problems to be easy to solve tomorrow. Not all problems have this property. In this article, we’ll look at some problems that do. This is a technical-light article with no mathematics. Cryptography … More Quantum Computing – Scenarios
Quantum Computing has gone from being an academic curiosity to a big bet in the last decade. Microsoft, Google, IBM and plenty of others are investing into that technology. There still isn’t a large scale Quantum Computer commercially availably, but many think it’s around the corner. Some complex problems would take today’s computers centuries to … More Quantum Computing – Value Proposition
We’ve recently looked Azure Databricks: Getting Started Resilient Distributed Dataset Spark SQL – Data Frames Transforming Data Frames in Spark Parsing escaping CSV files in Spark In most cases we did share notebooks on GitHub. Here we wanted to show how easy it is to import those notebooks. Choosing a Notebook First, let’s choose a … More Import Notebooks in Databricks
