I'm working with the new Azure Kinect and it's totally new for me.
Is this new Azure Kinect have something like Kinect V2 FaceModel? I'm looking it but I didn't find.
There's no FaceModel part of Azure Kinect DK, but you may want to look into Azure Vision service that works with Azure Kinect DK.

I have a basic query on Azure Cognitive search -I have confusion that, will it comes under PaaS or SaaS service? With my understanding I feel it should be PaaS, since it requires configuration and deployment involved. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Azure Cognitive Search is a PaaS service. While there is a portal experience to help configure and evaluate the service, you need to write your own application to call the service in order to use its functionality.
Azure Cognitive Search is a search-as-a-service.
Search as a service uses a software as a service (SaaS) model.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_as_a_service
As a Customer of Azure cognitive search, I had to code all back-end services that can handle creating of data sources, indexers and indexes and also the same for calling the rest API to get the data, so even if it is possible to do it via the portal azure interface we still need to code to get some advanced features not yet presents in the interface.
So I believe it is a PAAS cloud type.
Is there any efficient way to implement Azure Ad B2C in flutter for android , ios and web??
Currently I have figured out a solution for android and ios by using flutter_webview_plugin but it doesn't work for flutter web.
You can try using flutter_azure_b2c package to implement Azure AD B2C on android and web but the limitation here is it’s not available for ios yet.
Or You can use flutter_appauth which is available for android and ios.
Note: For now there is no package which can be used to implement for all the 3 platforms.
Reference:
flutter_azure_b2c - Dart API docs (pub.dev)
Flutter + Azure : Authentication with AD B2C | by Jayesh | Flutter Community | Medium
You can use flutter_azure_b2c: ^0.0.8 that is available for all platform of web, android and ios.
Me and my team are working on a product deployed in Azure, all of our backend services will be deployed by using k8s service in Azure and it seems like the most pragmatic and right choice for us.
We also have ReactJS frontend for some of backend services. We deploy them by using Docker and k8s at this moment. We started thinking about scaling of our web apps and found that everything can be done by Azure Web Apps.
I would like to know what is best practice of web app deployment in Cloud(Azure in my case):
Should I use Azure Web App service for this purpose?
Or it is better to keep everything in my k8s cluster
Any link or a book as source of true might be even better :)
Update 1:
I also found out that web apps can be deployed by using Blob Storage and Azure functions to access the static content from the Blob Storage. What do you think?
Azure WebApp is a perfect option for your requirement check this link for more details and guide
I'm trying to develop a Windows Phone 8 app. I've created a Web Site in a Windows Azure account which is an MVC 4 project with REST endpoints. I've got an SQL database in Azure to store data from the Azure Web Site. Ocassionaly, I want my application to send PUSH notifications to mobile phones. So I've created a Mobile Service and I've linked the SQL database with the Mobile Service's database in order to have got the same data for the web page and the service.
I though that when I send an HTTP POST to the web site, the script in the database from the Azure Mobile Service would be launched but it looks not to be true. Isn't it? Because of that, I would write in the controller of an HTTP POST endpoint the code to send the data to the Mobile Service endpoint in order to launch the JavaScript code to send the Push Notification.
Is that the right approach for my goal? Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from an Azure Web Site or it is only allowed from a Mobile Service?
My last question: Do you know any books or blogs about development in Windows Azure? On the Internet there is lots of documentation but principally those are get started tutorials. I've read some books but those are really complex, boring, and not really practical.
As your website MVC4 based and is running on Windows Azure using SQL Database as backend, I will guess that it is based on ASP.NET and i will write my suggestion based on that.
Now about your question "Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from a Azure Web Site or it is only allowed from a Mobile Service?" I would say, Azure Mobile web services are designed for the same purpose for any service running on Windows Azure to send push notification on multiple of platforms. Application developer can choose to use Mobile Services to expedite their development as well as have multiple application using the one single service for such objective.
However as you mentioned "Is there any way for sending PUSH notifications from a Azure Web Site" this is not depend on "Azure web sites" instead it is depend on what development technology you are using with your Windows Azure Application. For example in ASP.NET your can use SignalR implementation if your application is based on Java, PHP, Python, Node,js etc then you can find some other run time specific real time implementation. If you look around for websockets you will find implementation in almost every popular language or look for comet programming on this regard. Not only that you can use some of the popular 3rd party applications for this purpose as well. i.e. pusher or any other.
While Windows Azure Mobile Services will give you the best results on Windows Azure platform as it is designed to provide such specific functionality for applications running on it.

I am interested in the best practices to access Windows Azure API from a Silverlight application? I am pretty sure as an experienced developer it will require me to build a back end web service that silverlight can then use as an interface between Azure API and Silverlight. But I am concerned with speed and security...For instance I am guessing I can use WCF, but what is the fastest way to get this communication to occur?
Also this is an assumption on my part that a webservice is needed, is there any support from Azure for Silverlight? I couldn't find anything on Microsoft site about this, only how to host a Silverlight application on your Azure Storage Blob which is not what I am asking...
Thanks!
Your assumption is correct. You will have to create a web service (wcf is considered best practice) that exposes the methods in the Azure API that you want to access.
