Topics
Dal Networking alla Data Platform: Architetture Azure Databricks per Scalabilità e Sicurezza
Questa sessione combina data engineering e cloud networking per mostrare come distribuire Azure Databricks workspace sicuri e facili da gestire.
Chiariremo come il control plane e il compute plane interagiscono, quali flussi di traffico è necessario consentire e come queste scelte influenzano performance, affidabilità e incident response.
Tratteremo pattern consolidati per topologie hub‑and‑spoke: un governance/admin workspace dedicato nell’hub e application workspace negli spoke, supportati da Microsoft Entra ID e Unity Catalog per il controllo degli accessi cross‑workspace.
Dal lato networking, vedremo VNet injection, Private Endpoint, routing verso servizi condivisi e restrizioni di egress, oltre al packet filtering con Azure Firewall e NSG per applicare controlli east‑west e north‑south.
La sessione fornirà un architecture blueprint, una deployment checklist dettagliata e linee guida pratiche per rendere le landing zone pienamente Databricks‑ready.
Contenuto pensato per Cloud Architect e Data Engineer che progettano piattaforme dati scalabili, sicure e facilmente gestibili.

Implementing a Zero Trust model on AKS with the new Istio Service Mesh add-on for Microsoft Azure
In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the Zero Trust model stands out as a paradigm shift towards more dynamic and granular security measures. This presentation delves into the principles of Zero Trust architecture and its practical implementation in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) environments, leveraging the new Istio service mesh add-on for enhanced security. We will explore the methodologies for establishing a Zero Trust framework, focusing on user and device authentication, authorization, and continuous verification. By integrating Zero Trust with AKS and Istio, organizations can create a robust defense mechanism that adapts to the complexities of modern infrastructure and the ever-changing threat landscape.
