Speaking at NDC London: Combatting illegal fishing with Machine Learning and Azure

Carmel Eve By Carmel Eve Software Engineer I

Very excited to be speaking at NDC in London in January!

The talk is focused on "Combatting illegal fishing with Machine Learning and Azure" and will focus on the recent work we did with OceanMind.

Azure Weekly is a summary of the week's top Microsoft Azure news from AI to Availability Zones. Keep on top of all the latest Azure developments!

OceanMind are a not-for-profit who are working on cleaning up the world's oceans with the help of Microsoft's cloud technologies. We had the privilege of working with them on their cloud migration project, and I'm excited to share some of the things we learnt along the way!

If you want to know more about what OceanMind are working on, here is Microsoft's showcase of their work: OceanMind, AI for Earth Showcase, Future Decoded 2019 from endjin on Vimeo.

Hopefully see some of you in London in January, but I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot about this over the next few months either way!

Jess and Carmel recently gave a talk at Azure Oxford on Combatting illegal fishing with Machine Learning and Azure - for less than £10 / month. The recording of that talk is now available for viewing!The talk focuses on the recent work we completed with OceanMind. They run through how to construct a cloud-first architecture based on serverless and data analytics technologies and explore the important principles and challenges in designing this kind of solution. Finally, we see how the architecture we designed through this process not only provides all the benefits of the cloud (reliability, scalability, security), but because of the pay-as-you-go compute model, has a compute cost that we could barely believe!

Wardley Maps are a fantastic tool to help provide situational awareness, in order to help you make better decisions. We use Wardley Maps to help our customers think about the various benefits and trade-offs that can be made when migrating to the Cloud. In this blog post, Jess Panni demonstrates how we used Wardley Maps to plan the migration of OceanMind to Microsoft Azure, and how the maps highlighted where the core value of their platform was, and how PaaS and Serverless services offered the most value for money for the organisation.
