Understand Private Networking for your Azure hosted applications
In a DevOps way of working, you might need to deploy and manage the infrastructure layers (using Infrastructure as Code) too, and an important part of the infrastructure domain is networking.
Learn what Azure networking is, how it affects you as a developer and how you can leverage networking to add an additional security layer to your Azure hosted applications. Join me in building a private network in Azure to see how the components work together.
You will get a better understanding of the various networking components that might help or impact your day-to-day work developing software.
Secure and Private DNS Resolution in Hybrid Cloud Environments
Resolving DNS queries in a hybrid cloud can be challenging, especially resolving on-premise environments from the Azure cloud and vice versa.
If you are looking for a secure and private way to resolve DNS queries between Azure and the on-premises infrastructure, Azure DNS Private Resolver is the solution you need. It allows you to resolve DNS queries for resources within your Azure Virtual Network using a private DNS zone without any exposure to the public internet. This means you can use it to facilitate communication between your on-premises infrastructure and Azure Virtual Networks.
Join me for this talk to learn how you can leverage this powerful service to ensure seamless communication in your hybrid cloud environment.
Govern your Azure environment through Azure Policy
When your Azure environment is relatively small, it is straightforward to keep track of what resources you have running in Azure and make sure that your solution is secure, compliant, and cost-effective. When your cloud workload gets bigger, and you have a lot of subscriptions and multiple management groups, that is much harder to do. Luckily, Azure has a built-in feature called Azure Policy that can help you govern your Azure resources. But how do we implement policies, guarantee compliance and security, without decreasing developer agility? This session will teach you how to deploy policies using Infrastructure as Code. You will see how to use the built-in policies and how to create your own. We will look at all the different effects that a policy can have and which should be used when. You will learn how to assign policies on different scopes and finally how to review the compliance status. All with the goal to enforce security, being compliant, monitoring that continuously, and keep costs at bay.
Say Goodbye to ClickOps! Embrace IaC for Game-Changing Automation
In the ever-evolving IT operations and software development landscape, adopting Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has become essential. This presentation dives into the transformative advantages that IaC brings in contrast to the traditional manual configuration, often dubbed 'clickops.' IaC fundamentally revolutionizes infrastructure management by ushering in automation through code, leading to heightened efficiency, consistency, scalability, and reproducibility.
We will explore the advantages of IaC, highlighting its capacity to boost agility, minimize errors, facilitate collaboration, and expedite the deployment and management of complex infrastructures. The analysis underscores the clear superiority of IaC over manual configurations, firmly positioning it as the foremost method for managing infrastructure in today's dynamic, cloud-centric landscape.
