Can Serverless Really Be Trusted For Production Apps?
You may have heard me talk about the capabilities of Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps before, but now I'm taking it up a several notches!
And this is mostly because a lot of things have changed over the past few years in terms of serverless and cloud-native applications.
Through this session I will develop a completely severless application Additionally, I will show you everything you need to know in order to make your serverless effort a worry-free application. In fact, I will show you everything I've learn from running serverless application in production.
Join me at this session during which you will get to do a deep dive with me on the ins and outs of Azure Functions when it comes to real stories and apps rather than just 'Hello, World'-s. I will finger point each bad practice and the things you should avoid, but at the end of the day we'll have created something awesome. So, how far and how fast can we actually go... now?
Containerized Application Development Adventures in Azure for a Hardcore Windows Developer
Docker keeps gaining incredible popularity and given the revolution it started in software architecture, it's easy to understand why. However, even though containerization used to be a de-facto concept for the Linux world, Windows users weren't left behind.
Throughout this session I will show you everything I've learnt from building my own first physical Kubernetes cluster, and everything I've learn in terms of microservices-based applications development, including the overwhelming number of open-source runtimes, frameworks and components.
Effectively, you-'ll learn how cloud-native applications are built. Are you ready to make you apps modern again?
Developing for Azure Kinect
Kinect is a popular brand among new-generation developers for its capabilities as an Xbox peripheral back in the day.
Today though, Microsoft is promoting Kinect as "Azure Kinect" instead, which provides developers access to the best AI sensors in a single convenient device.
During this session I will show you how to develop an application for various verticals and industries using Azure Kinect as the mean of input and show you how to use Azure Kinect with Windows containers to enable easy integration with Cognitive Services.
Taming Azure Resources Using Cloud Governance And Tools
Provisioning resources and sharing the subscription with your team is an easy task these days, but controlling organization-wide conventions, policies and even automating alerts and actions to be taken once these policies are breached can seem overwhelmingly complex.
Join me in this session to learn everything you need to keep Azure resources under control and feel safe in the driver's seat.
Modern Application Development With Containers
Containerizing an application isn't too difficult today using the tooling available in Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. However, it takes more than just a container image to have modern applications.
Throughout this session we will talk about gaining deployment flexibility and learn how to manage containers for deployment, what options you have for container registries and the ways in which you can scale deployed containers. Additionally, you will also learn how to store application secrets in Azure KeyVault and how to securely access business critical data.
10 Years Later: Quo Vadis, Azure?
The journey of Azure through its 10 years of continuous development is a fun one, but one filled with numerous experiences and lessons. This keynote is intended to open the eyes of the audience on the evolution of Azure and the entire cloud industry over the past decade and concludes with a possible future of the cloud for the next decade.
Join me for an entertaining conversation on how the industry evolved from using Visual Studio 2010 for configuring a cloud virtual machine, to using Artificial Intelligence and unsupervised learning to detect deep fakes. Brace yourselves: no cloud-typical technology will be left aside!
Designing Microservices with DAPR and .NET
If there is one thing which cloud has done over the past years, it is that it has brought us amazing new ways to write reliable software.
With the ever-increasing pace of announcements and releases, it's practically impossible to keep up with cloud vendors and most worryingly, chances for missing out stepping-stone technologies for developing cloud-native applications are extremely high.
So while you may have seen me talk about DAPR in the past, this time around we are taking it up a notch and talk about the pragmatic microservices implementation with DAPR and .NET. This will be a code-heavy, developer's guide to building cloud-native applications using the DAPR event-driven runtime. We're effectively bringing the entire world of microservices (which seems unreachable to most devs) down to Earth and use comprehensive examples for the typical .NET developer.
DevOps in Azure: From Zero to Hero in less than an hour!
The world of Azure is vast seems never-ending. That's why trying to gain control over it without having the proper insights and knowledge regarding Continuous Integration and Deployment capabilities, Continuous Testing and Continuous Assurance, governance or even cost optimization can feel daunting - in fact, more often than not it feels like a battle you've lost before even going to a fight.
But in reality, Azure was built from ground up with automation in mind and harnessing that automation part of your own practices is more easier than you might have imagined!
Join me in a fantastic journey around *ALL* the tools you must be equipped with when you want to take control over Azure and become your company's Azure Hero.
