Building your data platform in the cloud is easy, but as soon as that dreaded word "security" becomes involved it suddenly becomes incredibly painful. How do you go about integrating it with your existing networking, how do you manage user security, what on earth is a private endpoint? Over the past year, a lot of these tools have evolved and we now have a set of mature patterns we can apply to actually make a modern data platform secure.
In this session I'll guide you from through a secure reference architecture with Data Factory, Databricks, Data Lake, and Azure Synapse, working together as a secure, fully productionised platform. Each has their own idiosyncrasies, but this session will teach you the options available and the pitfalls to avoid.
This session gives you an insight on what you can do in order to be more accessible to people that are hard of hearing or deaf. Accessibility does matter because it means that you are able to broad your audience and believe it or not it also supports people without disabilities.
Providing a business with an organized and propagated data catalogue is essential with ever growing demands and questions about your data platform. How are your data assets organised and how can you track lineage?
In this session we will help you sew the seeds of good data governance and show how Azure Purview fits into your pathway. We will demonstrate how processes, business terminology, and ownership drive data governance forward. To close out this introductory session we'll dig deep into ways to extend Purview's capability with the Atlas API
