Speaker au Sido “La révolution IoT Edge et AI temps réel : avant-goût avec un drone de reconnaissance”
I got the opportunity to be an exhibitor and speaker at the Sido (one of the largest IoT event in Europe : 10 000 visitors)
My talk : “The IoT Edge & real-time AI revolution : illustration with Drone”
(original title in French : “La révolution IoT Edge et AI temps réel : avant-goût avec un drone de reconnaissance”)
The Sido hosts 450 exhibitors, and is organized every year in April.
In 2018, it was on the 4th and 5th April : https://www.sido-event.com/
We had the privilege to have been selected by Microsoft, and we were hosted on their Microsoft Village, as a consulting firm expert in IoT.

How to have an easy report on your Azure consumption ? with an Azure EA
Many times I got asked to tell where to get the API Key to perform your self cost reporting, using Cloudyn, or PowerBI, or your own Code using Web API.
Very easy !
(this post is a update simplified from this one : http://blog.thavo.com/2016/10/cost-on-azure-where-to-start.html)
AZURE ENTERPRISE AGREEMENT PORTAL
1. go to https://ea.azure.com
2. Move from “Manage” to “Report”
3. Choose “Download Usage” > “API Access Key”
The API Key should look something like :
POWER BI WEB APP
Go to PowerBI : https://powerbi.microsoft.com
Fill in the questions and the API Key, then it works straight after
