How to utilize Connector Groups?

Customers utilize Azure AD's Application Proxy for more and more scenarios and applications. So we've made App Proxy even more flexible by enabling more topologies.
You can create Application Proxy connector groups so that you can assign specific connectors to serve specific applications.
This capability gives you more control and ways to optimize your Application Proxy deployment.
Each Application Proxy connector is assigned to a connector group. All the connectors that belong to the same connector group act as a separate unit for high-availability and load balancing.
All connectors belong to a connector group. If you don't create groups, then all your connectors are in a default group. Your admin can create new groups and assign connectors to them in the Azure portal.

Default configuration – no use for connector groups

If you don’t use connector groups, your configuration would look like this:
AzureAD No Connector Groups
The recommended configuration for large and complex organizations is to have the default connector group as a group that doesn’t serve any applications and is used for idle or newly installed connectors. All applications are served using customized connector groups. This enables all the complexity of the scenarios described above.
In the example below, the company has two datacenters, A and B, with two connectors that serve each site. Each site has different applications that run on it.

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.

Feature Engineering - What and Why

Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine learning pipeline where you create new, meaningful features or transform existing features to improve the performance of your predictive models. It involves selecting, modifying, or creating features from your raw data to make it more suitable for machine learning algorithms. Here's a more detailed overview of feature engineering: Why Feature Engineering? Feature engineering is essential for several reasons: Improving Model Performance: Well-engineered features can significantly boost the predictive power of your machine learning models. Handling Raw Data: Raw data often contains noise, missing values, and irrelevant information. Feature engineering helps in cleaning and preparing the data for analysis. Capturing Domain Knowledge: Domain-specific insights can be incorporated into feature creation to make the model more representative of the problem. Common Techniques and Strategies: 1. Feature Extraction: Transforming raw data
