Azure Media Services - conference mode - azure

I have been told by Azure sales consultant (online chat) that Azure Media Services support conferencing. I cannot find such option. I see that AMS support online streaming but I'd like also to enable other people to speak.
Anyone has such experience with AMS? Is my scenario possible?

I believe you are looking for Azure Communications Services, not Media Services.

Are Microsoft Azure Cognitive services available on AzureStack?

I'm planning to showcase exciting end user use-cases in AzureStack to potential customers.
This is an idea exploration.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/directory/
I expect Microsoft Azure Cognitive services to be available on AzureStack for Enterprise use-cases.
From my initial search on AzureStack Marketplace items from Azure I could not find Cognitive Services for AzureStack. What is the roadmap to bring these services to AzureStack in the future?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-stack/azure-stack-marketplace-azure-items
Please help. Thanks.
All APIs on cognitive services here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/cognitive-services/directory/ are on Azure. In fact, you buy access keys for these APIs from Azure portal: https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.CognitiveServicesBingSearch-v7.

Opensource alternative fo azure service bus and machine learning

I am looking for a open source alternative of below services,
Azure Service Bus
Azure Machine Learning
Azure Notification Hubs
Power BI for Office 365 Mobile Services Cloud Services
Is there any solution which interoperates all these similar services as a whole solution?
For Azure Machine Learning there is Mahout.
For Power BI you might want to take a look at this post:
https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/44204/does-anyone-know-any-good-open-source-software-for-visualizing-data-from-databas
For the rest, not sure, but there are open source solutions that can be googled.
I am also curious about your motives for looking for a list like this.

Azure application status page

I have an application running on the Azure cloud.
Currently this is deployed as an Azure web app.
Is there any way to monitor the website status and build a page like this or this?
As you can see in those examples both have:
a service global status
An historical status which is grouped in hour/day/months period
Does azure has an API that I can use to monitor my services?
Application Insights and the Azure portal will give you a rich monitoring and diagnostics experience for your web app. It is in preview at this time.
You can get very granular data points or high-level graphs and trends. The historical data can go back as far as 13 months for aggregated data points. You can read more about the data retention policy here.
The Azure portal (the new one at portal.azure.com) gives you a rich UI to interact with the telemetry data from your app. And if you want to customize a blade to view specific data for your app you can do that too.
Azure Web Apps also has built-in monitoring support that you can use. It won't give you the depth that Application Insights does but you should look at this too to see if it will give you the data you need. And of course, you can customize the monitoring blades in the Azure portal to suit your needs.
Azure does offer a robust RESTFul API for managing and monitoring your services. Essentially anything you can do through the Azure Management Portal is accessible via an API, including analytics. The portal itself often uses this same API.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee460799.aspx
You can also use MSFT authored .NET assemblies to create your own monitoring applications in Visual Studio. I find the monitoring and analytics features more robust via this model. These are available on GitHub:

How do you use the Azure Media Services REST API?

All of the examples I find for building apps with Azure Media Services are using the .NET Azure Media Services SDK. Are there any reliable examples anywhere that showcase how to consume their REST APIs?
The reason I'm asking is that I need to leverage the services in Xamarin, and we can't use the .NET Azure Media Services SDK because it would not be portable across all three major mobile OSes.
Are you looking for examples consuming REST API in .NET?
General rest API references located at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh973617.aspx.
You can find examples of REST requests for various azure media services scenarios under MSDN section http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh973629.aspx

Is it possible to use a custom domain with Windows Azure Service Bus?

We have a complex Azure setup...cloud services, websites, storage accounts, VM's...the whole shebang.
We have custom domains to all of these things and they work great, but I can't find any documentation on setting up an A record or a CNAME to work with their Service Bus functionality.
Anyone know if this is possible?
David,
Thank you for sharing your requirement. Using custom domains with Windows Azure Service Bus is not currently supported. However, it is among the features that the Service Bus team is considering enabling in the near future. We'll have further information on this when the feature is available for use.
