Azure OMS vs Azure Monitor 2018 - azure-monitoring

There is a new "Azure Monitor" feature available where all sorts of monitoring(logs,scripting,alerts,etc) can be performed. This was released in September 2018.
If I understand correctly, prior to this Azure Operations Management Suite (OMS) helped perform monitoring. And Monitoring was just one aspect of OMS. As OMS did a lot more (DR, Automation, compliance, etc).
Is it true that OMS does not do monitoring anymore and he has handed it over to a non-OMS feature called Azure Monitor? And OMS continue to deliver other aspects mentioned above?

Azure Monitor provides infrastructure metrics and logs for services in Microsoft Azure.
OMS is more suitable for hybrid environment.
eg. Can be done by integrating with System Center.

On premise azure Devops server 2019 Migration to azure devops services without Migration tool

You could try to use the Azure devops extension Migration Tools for Azure DevOps, which allow you to migrate Teams, Work Items, and Plans & Suits from one Project to another in Azure DevOps/TFS both within the same Organization, and between Organizations. But this without history and This tool is complicated and its not always easy to discover what you need to do.
If you insist on keeping the history, you could also try to use the 3rd tool OpsHub Visual Studio Online Migration Utility. It migrates historical information for work items, version control change sets, test cases, test results, and all the relationships between two tools in an incremental manner.
Note: No matter which tool is used, or manual migration, we may not be able to get results were not a perfect copy, but overall the results were actable.

Unable to connect Azure purview from Azure Synapse

I followed the documentation for connecting azure purview account with synapse.
I do not see option - Manage -> Azure Purview in Synapse Workspace.
UPDATE: Azure Purview Integration is now available in Azure Synapse Studio.
On January 8th, 2021
The integration between Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Purview is currently under Preview. If you are interested to try Azure Purview in Synapse, please connect with your Microsoft Sales Representative.
To get access to this feature you need to reach out to your sales representative at Microsoft.
In case, if you do not have a sales representative at Microsoft. I would suggest you file a support ticket and with a strong business use case.
Once you have created a support ticket, I would request you to share the support request number so that I can route it to the Azure Synapse team to enable access to the Azure Purview.
Hello as mentioned Pradeep, the integration feature is under gated preview but will be public very soon (end of January). In the meantime, if you still want to connect, please connect through my LinkedIn profile (Arnaud Comet).
Thank you,

Azure Gov Cloud and Azure Functions trigger on Storage

I have hard time with Azure Functions on Azure Government. I need to create a C# trigger bases process on Azure Storage. The goal is to automate the process of the loading the files into Azure SQL DB when a file is dropped into Azure Storage.
Since Azure Functions in Azure Government are not fully comparable to Azure Function in regular Azure and not all UIs are the same, I can't deploy the function to trigger on a storage file.
I was able to build the process in regular Azure Cloud following instructions from https://github.com/yorek/AzureFunctionUploadToSQL but since Azure Government is missing the UI for Azure Functions I'm having hard time to replicating the process in Azure Government.
Portal UI support is not yet available in Azure Government, but it is coming soon. Additionally, Azure Government currently supports "App Service plan" ("Consumption plan" coming soon).
In the meantime, you can do everything you need. First, provision your Azure Function in Azure Gov via the Azure CLI by following this Quickstart example for Functions on Azure Gov. That same link also shows you how you can use Visual Studio to set up your triggers (in your case, a Blob trigger).
Once complete, deploy your Function to Azure Gov with Visual Studio.

Migration to Windows Azure

In our organization we are using Hyper-V VMs. We are using Progress Database and apps in the workstations.
For us to migrate into the Microsoft Azure cloud, do we have to migrate our existing Progress database to SQL and rewrite our apps ?
No. You haven't given us much detail about your applications or architecture, but if I make the assumption that you are using the embedded database product by Progress software, then I see no reason that can't run on an Azure VM.

How many geodatabases may be authorized per ArcGIS Server?

I need to create and authorize a new ESRI ArcGIS enterprise geodatabase. Our organization has an existing ArcGIS Server license that has already authorized one ESRI ArcGIS enterprise geodatabase. Will I be able to specify the existing ArcGIS Server authorization file to create another enterprise geodatabase within the same organization and network? I would just try except that someone else administers the ArcGIS Server and we are still in the planning stage.
I understand that we will need ArcGIS for Desktop Standard or Advanced (not Basic) to Create an Enterprise geodatabase.
Thank you very much - Tim
ArcGIS for Server, which includes enterprise geodatabases, is typically licensed per CPU core (more info). So if you're licensed to run one enterprise geodatabase on a machine, you're licensed to run as many enterprise geodatabases as you want on that machine, or as many as that machine will actually handle. How many it can handle depends on many factors: the hardware, the data, how well you maintain your database, other software running on the machine, etc. etc. etc.
The point is that yes, you can use the same authorization file to create multiple geodatabases.
You're correct that you need ArcGIS for Desktop Standard or Advanced to run the Create Enterprise Geodatabase tool.
