Laurent Bugnion and his team at Microsoft delivered an unprecedented 99 labs in 3.5 days during Microsoft Build 2024, covering AI, Azure, Copilot, and Windows. Thousands of attendees were trained by 300+ Microsoft and partner experts, with select labs available on GitHub (linked via Build.Microsoft.com).
You Should Know:
1. Accessing Microsoft Build Labs
- Find lab materials on GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/Build-2024-Labs
- Use Azure CLI to deploy lab resources:
az group create --name BuildLabs --location eastus az deployment group create --template-file lab-template.json
2. Running AI & Copilot Labs
- For AI model testing, use:
python -m pip install azure-ai-ml az ml model deploy --name copilot-demo --model-path ./model --compute-target cpu-cluster
- Windows Copilot integration via PowerShell:
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "CopilotAI" -All
3. Azure Lab Setup
- Spin up a GPU instance for AI workloads:
az vm create --name AI-Lab-VM --image UbuntuLTS --size Standard_NC6 --admin-username azureuser
- Monitor costs with:
az consumption budget create --amount 100 --category cost --time-grain monthly
What Undercode Say:
Microsoft Build 2024 highlights the future of AI-driven cloud development, with Copilot and Azure leading enterprise adoption. Expect more open-sourced labs post-event, but resource-heavy labs may remain restricted. Key commands to master:
– Linux/Windows AI deployment
docker run -it --gpus all nvidia/cuda:11.8-base
– Azure cost control
Get-AzConsumptionUsageSummary -StartDate 2024-05-01 -EndDate 2024-05-31
– Copilot API testing
curl -X POST https://api.copilot.ai/v1/completions -H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
Prediction:
Microsoft will expand public access to Build labs, focusing on AI and hybrid cloud, while keeping high-cost simulations internal.
Expected Output:
AI Model deployed. Cost alert set at $100/month. Copilot API active.
