Hi neilmcneely - thanks for your question!
This is very good timing since we just announced support for https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/communication-services/concepts/advisor-overview for Azure Communication Services!
Azure Advisor will send you recommendations for different categories on how to optimize your Azure experience (via cost reduction, performance improvements, etc.). It will now send you recommendations when there are newer SDKs available. You can access this feature through the https://portal.azure.com/#blade/Microsoft_Azure_Expert/AdvisorMenuBlade/overview. To learn more about Azure Advisor in general, you can find the public https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/advisor/advisor-overview.
In addition, the Azure Communication Services team publishes https://github.com/Azure/Communication/tree/master/releasenotes every two weeks with all the latest updates.
Also I realize I didn't quite answer your question 🙂 Azure Communication Services is built on the most secure and compliant cloud. Standard security best practices should be followed. Also if you are using a firewall, you can take a look at this doc on how to best https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/concepts/voice-video-calling/network-requirements for video calling.
- We would like to authenticate from an existing Active Directory. Please advise on the best way to approach the client for endpoint.
Right now our SMS and Identity SDKs are the only ones that enable authenticating with Azure Active Directory - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/quickstarts/identity/service-principal?pivots=programming-language-csharp. More support is in the roadmap, but I don't have any timelines to share at the moment.
