Project name

Parking management using Microsoft Fabric and edge workloads

Description

Fabric being a one stop shop cloud data platform with extensive capabilities covering end-to-end analysis, we aimed to demonstrate some of its features such as power bi reports, eventsteam real time data ingestion, KQL and the power of kusto queries, data activator leveraging OpenAI, hosted notebooks, as well, as how it maries perfectly with what cannot be hosted in the cloud, though gets enabled with Azure Arc. We loved the journey, and our submission hopefully demonstrates that. But there is so much more we would still want to do. In particular when it comes to Azure IoT Operations. We choose the parking management scenario where gates equipped with ANPR enabled cameras could use AI to identify and stream cars coming in and out. These gates can operate locally on their own, maybe feeding panels indicating how many spaces are estimated to be available, while streaming data in real time to Fabric for further aggregation, processing and analysis. IoT Operations (installed on a Azure Arc enabled Kubernetes cluster) would enable a two way communication between devices that may use old protocols and would be hard to upgrade in a secure and very easy to set up way. Further data pipeline ETL steps, could be applied at the edge, to start cleansing and enriching the data, so a lower quantity but more relevant set of information transits over the network. This also removes dependency to the internet for critical operations.

Updated the link here to make sure it links to what was intended to show up first... (All videos were published before the deadline but it was defaulted to a deleted video from the list - this list is what was intended)
