A digital wave is transforming the world.
Across every continent, country, economy and industry.
A better world. Thanks to developers thanks to you to
you.
The people who helped bridge the digital and physical.
Through the isolation of the pandemic.
You forged new applications, capabilities,
and experiences. And became digital first responders to the first
responders.
You overcame enormous constraints. Working together as a community,
you made us more resilient,
connected, inspired, productive, educated. Do I fall?
And healthy. Now developers are building our way forward as
the digital wave is accelerating and opportunity is growing.
To make businesses more competitive,
governments more responsive education, more accessible all to keep our
world thriving.
You are amplifying human ingenuity.
At school. In the lab,
even in outer space. Everywhere.
Being a developer is possible for anyone who wishes to
shape the future.
That's our vision to empower developers to empower you to
empower the world.
Good morning and welcome to belt.
It's great to be together.
There is no doubt it's been a challenging year.
The world continues to confront a public health and economic
crisis.
Persistent issues of racial injustice and inequity,
and the damaging effects of climate change.
These crises will require long term commitment and real work
from all of us.
And this conference is about the role,
the responsibility in the opportunity of this community in shaping
what comes next over the past year,
you have shown what is possible when you come together
and bring together the atoms of the real world with
the bits of the virtual world you've helped SoC overcome
these enormous challenges while at the same time overcoming the
challenges of your own circumstances.
So I want to say a big thank you.
You've acted as digital first responders.
In a moment when we needed you the most,
helping those on the front lines deliver critical care and
rapidly develop vaccines.
You help businesses remained resilient,
ensuring they were able to quickly adapt and stay open.
When storefronts closed and you helped us re imagine where
humanity can go and what we can do,
transcending time and even space.
And it's just the beginning.
Just think about the world in 2030.
Tech as a percentage of total GDP will double from
5 to 10%.
But the most notable thing is what will happen to
the other 90%
digital transformation that was projected to happen over the next
10 years is happening today as computing becomes embedded in
every aspect of our lives,
there will no longer be such a thing as the
tech sector.
The world will be transformed through tech intensity at scale.
Every organization will not only need to adopt the latest
technology,
but more importantly build their own unique digital technology.
Or be left behind. We're seeing a surge of developers
across industries and geographies over the past two years.
The number of developers at non tech companies has grown
faster than at tech companies.
Industries hiring developers most rapidly include agriculture,
consumer goods, energy, finance and Wellness to share just one
example,
in the automotive industry they were more software engineers and
Mechanical Engineers hired over the last year and we're seeing
growth in every region.
Nigeria, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia,
Bangladesh, and Egypt topped the list of new contributors to
get up in 2020 and over the past 12 months,
the percentage of developer job postings that will remote.
Increased 8X year over year.
In a digital first company,
the developer workflow influences how the entire company works.
Fusion teams are pro developers and domain experts will integrate
all functions in all disciplines.
For example, students and teachers,
data analysts and scientists have all seen rapid growth on
GitHub,
and of course we are experiencing massive technological and societal
shifts which will create new and lasting opportunity for all
of you as the physical and digital worlds converge.
Every organization, small or large,
in every industry in every country will require more ubiquitous
and decentralized compute power.
Large eye models are becoming platforms,
creating ambient intelligence around us.
The balance between consumption and creation is changing.
More and more people are creating something new and magical
everyday,
and they're growing communities who want to discover,
explore, and build on their creations.
We need a virtuous cycle between content consumption and commerce
driven by communities for everything we built and will need
to unlock the economic opportunity and productivity to prepare every
person for the task at hand and for the jobs
of the future.
And finally, we will need trust by design.
The design and development process itself must prioritize privacy,
cybersecurity, digital safety, and responsible AI across everything we do.
No one will want technology that rapidly scales but breaks
the world around us.
We won't empower you to seize these opportunities and build
what comes next.
Our ambition is to be the platform for platform creators.
This conference is not about setting new rules or constraints
that dictate how or what you should build.
It's not even about celebrating our own innovation,
it's about enabling your innovation and creating new opportunities for
you.
We want to help you help the world.
That's at the core of our mission over the next
two days you will see how we are investing across
the entire tech stack.
To make creating easier for all of you this morning,
we're announcing more than 100 new services and important updates
to help you innovate.
We've organized build around several core themes this year and
let me share just a snapshot of what you're going
to see over the next two days.
It starts with our end to end developer Toolchain.
We're a company built by developers for developers,
first from GitHub to Visual Studio.
We provide the most comprehensive tool chain and services for
every developer,
every app and every platform,
so you can rapidly go from idea to code and
code to cloud.
And it's all about that developer velocity.
We want to give you the tools to innovate as
fast as you want to go,
and with power platform, we're helping you scale and amplify
your work so that you can collaborate across these fusion
teams and build applications together.
You'll hear from Amanda Silver and Donovan Brown,
how Toyota is bringing together fusion teams,
approach developers and domain experts,
as well as structured and unstructured data to build a
mission critical internal vehicle delivery app,
and Julie Strauss will show you how we're bringing the
world's most powerful language model GPT 3 to power platform
if you can describe what you want to do in
natural language, GD three will generate a list of the
most relevant formula for you to choose from.
The code writes itself. The next theme is building knew
intelligent apps by harnessing the power of data and AI
it.
This is so important. Every developer now has the opportunity
and responsibility to make organizations sovereign in terms of their
own data being used to benefit their own organization.
The opportunity is clear. The next generation of applications will
not be reactive but proactive because of their ability to
harness the power of data to drive that next level
of intelligence. From hyperscale SQL and Postgre SQL Cosmos DB
to Synapse and Synapse.
Lincoln, Bellevue Azure is the only cloud with limitless data
and analytics and data governance capabilities.
And in AI we offer the most comprehensive portfolio of
tools and frameworks for you to build these intelligent apps
responsibly.
You see so many customers applying this data and AI
capabilities today.
Twitter is using our speech services to generate captions for
their live audio conversations on Twitter space is making it
platform more accessible and walmart.com is using Cosmos DB to
power their e-commerce transactions over holidays.
Handling billions of requests daily and providing millions of the
customers with items they wanted when they needed them.
Cosmos DB has become the gold database to power the
world's most demanding mission critical applications.
New capabilities boost performance by more than 300%
for these read heavy workloads.
Enron Kumar will share updates for Cosmos,
DB, Azure SQL and our OSS databases that we're making
to help you build and modernize high performance apps at
any scale.
Eric Boyd will talk about our new initiative with Pytorch
to introduce Pytorch Enterprise on Azure,
providing a more reliable production experience for organizations using Pytorch
for their data science work.
No other cloud is doing this today.
And Kevin Scott will talk about the groundbreaking work we're
doing with open AI on large scale models.
Now let's talk about Cloud native apps.
The world is not getting simpler.
Technologies are multiplying. There's an increasing variety of hardware.
Silicon deploiement models. Some will argue that the cost of
supporting multi cloud is pretty prohibitive.
Add the edge to that and it becomes exponentially more
complex and we're making all of the simpler to help
you build and create from anywhere.
The apps of the Future will be cloud native and
you should be able to run them anywhere across on
premise,
edge and multi cloud. Today we're excited to announce that
Azure Application Services will now be able to run on
Kubernetes and anywhere with Azure Arc.
This means you can now run your favorite Azure application
services.
On premise on the edge or other clouds,
you will hear more on this from Gabe Monroy and
with a chaos an Azure stack HCI you can now
build consistent applications across Azure and hybrid.
Deploying a case on Azure Stack.
HCI just takes a few clicks.
Now to the future work.
Hybrid work perhaps represents the biggest shift on how we
work in our generation.
It will be complex, there's no standard.
It will require a new operating model designed around new
ways people work,
the places they inhabit, both digital and physical,
as well as changes to processes across every business function.
That's why we build teams as that organizing layer for
all the ways people work,
learn and collaborate. James now has 145 million daily active
users,
almost double the number a year ago.
It's the only solution that brings together meetings,
calls, chat, document collaboration and workflow in a single integrated
user experience,
and enables you to bring collaboration to the forefront of
app design.
As Jeff Teper will show you,
one of the things I'm most excited about is how
with teams and office we are enabling a new category
of cross device collaborative applications.
Just like win 32 defined a new era of apps
and web apps and mobile apps did the same.
This new generation of cross device collaborative applications will be
transformational first class platform opportunity for you.
For example, will show you how our partner ServiceNow built
a collaborative app for incident response,
using teams as the UI.
The Microsoft Graph to connect with the right people in
the organization,
and a bot to alert them to join a conference
call when required,
and we're going even further,
adding fluid components to teams and.
Office helping you integrate your apps into critical endpoints like
teams meetings,
delivering a unified development model for message extensions across teams
and outlook,
and making teams app development experience easier with improved developer
tools and a new developer portal.
When you step back, it's clear that as every company
becomes a digital company,
the largest developer opportunity is building industry specific business process
applications.
Charles Lamanna will talk about how to build these next
Generation Cloud native Saa's apps that compose on top of
other clouds and components,
these apps will embrace high level platform services.
Embed locode and workflow platforms and reuse applications as services.
This is how you can maximize your value creation opportunity.
Justin Graham will show you how a fantastic demo of
Finastra is using our financial Services cloud with teams.
Our platform in Azure as their core platform to accelerate
time to development of a new application.
And we see other Isvs across industries embracing this opportunity
to in order to unlock the next generation industry.
Sass opportunity. Finally, as the virtual and physical worlds converge,
the medawar's made up of digital twins,
simulated environments and mixed reality is emerging as a first
class platform.
With the metal works, the entire world becomes your app
canvas.
With Azure Digital twins you can model any asset or
place with Azure IO T and keep the digital twin
liven up to date.
Synapse tracks the history of digital twins and finds insights
to predict future States and with Azure you can build
autonomous systems that continually learn and improve.
Power platform enables domain experts to expand on and interact
with digital twin data using low code.
No code solutions, and Mesh and HoloLens brings real time
collaboration.
Sam George will share one of my favorite examples of
how Anheuser-Busch in Bev has used our Medawar stack to
track every bottle from the wheat field through the manufacturing
and distribution processes they've created.
This complete digital twin of their breweries and supply chain.
As you can see here,
the digital twin is synchronized with their physical brewery.
It understands these complex relationships between equipment and natural ingredients.
It enables the brewmasters to make adjustments based on dynamic
conditions.
It maintains uptime on many machines required during the packaging
process.
It tracks the entire supply chain to reduce emissions.
Deep reinforcement learning works with digital twins to help packing
line operators detect and automatically compensate for bottlenecks.
They even use mixed reality with their digital twin for
remote assistance.
Across all the opportunities I've highlighted today,
Windows is implicit. It's never been more important.
Windows 10 is used by more than 1.3 billion people
to work,
learn, connect and play. And it all starts with.
Windows is a dev box.
Windows brings together all your developer and collaboration tools in
one place.
It lets you choose the hardware you want,
works with Linux and Windows environments as one,
and has a modern terminal and soon we will share
one of the most significant updates of Windows of the
past decade to unlock greater economic opportunity for developers and
creators. I've been self hosting it over the past several
months and I'm incredibly excited about the next generation of
Windows.
Our promise to you is this.
We will create more opportunity for every Windows developer today
and welcome every creator who is looking for the most
innovative GNU Open platform to build and distribute and monetize
applications. We look forward to sharing more very soon.
So that's a preview of what we will show you
over the next two days where a pivotal moment development
teams are changing.
Workflows are changing, app models are changing,
apps themselves are changing. They will all become multi cloud
multi edge as well as multi sensing multi device.
They'll be infused through their I devices will work harmoniously
together to support and put people at the center of
these experiences and most importantly they will address some of
our biggest opportunities. You are the ones doing the hard
work to shape this new reality and we are here
to help everything.
We will show you is designed to empower you and
empower the world.
I can't wait to see what you create.
Thank you so much and have a great rest of
build.
