### AI overview

Azure SRE Agent's 30-day trial lets new customers create up to three agents, each with its own trial period and waived baseline always-on charges; active Azure Agent Unit charges apply when agents work. The announcement also covers generally available VNet integration, which routes outbound traffic through a delegated subnet subject to the organization's network controls, and Live Reports in public preview, which keep a fixed report layout while refreshing connected-system data when opened. Suggested first uses include investigating a known production issue across telemetry and code, responding to alerts with existing runbooks, checking operational risks, and sending findings to work-tracking systems. The article recommends starting with one service and a measurable problem. Trial details after 30 days are referenced but not included in the supplied text.

### Source excerpt

We are happy to announce a 30-day trial experience for Azure SRE Agent. New customers can create and configure the SRE Agent at their own pace, with no charges for setup time or keeping agents ready. During the trial, you can connect your agents to telemetry, source code, incident management platforms, and other operational tools, [...] The post Try Azure SRE Agent with no always-on charges appeared first on Microsoft for Developers.

### AI overview

This article explains Active Antenna Units (AAUs) in cellular networks. It describes how AAUs integrate antennas and radio components, use fiber and power instead of long coaxial runs, reduce RF loss, and support technologies such as Massive MIMO. It also discusses installation considerations, including greater weight and higher hardware cost.

### Source excerpt

A little off the beaten path on this one. We are diving into a big part of a Cellular tower deployment. Many sites now use an Active Antenna Unit, or AAU. The radio and the antenna are built into the same enclosure. An AAU combines the antenna, radio transceivers, power amplifiers, and low-noise amplifiers into ...
