Azure RBAC, Access policies and other Azure Myths

In this years demo driven session we will dive into the world of access to and in Azure.

We will also figure out the challenges caused by restricted access and how to overcome this. And we will make sure that everybody knows when to use what - as always supported by live demos!
So let's stop wondering ... let's start working ...

Sustainability - What's Cloud & AI got to do with it?!

Sustainability is at the top of many companies' agendas. As are the topics of cloud and AI. But what does sustainability actually mean? And how does this fit together when we are moving more and more resources to the cloud or creating them there? What role do cloud architects and DevOps teams play in this context? And what does all this have to do with me?

The aim of the session is to provide an overview. Practical examples will be used to shed light on important fields of action and best practices. We will also take a look at available tools and decision-making options.

Not on Azure Marketplace or AppSource Yet? Discover the What, Why, and How!

Over a decade ago, Microsoft launched the Azure Marketplace, followed by AppSource as the go-to place for SaaS Business Apps. Since then, cloud marketplaces have evolved significantly. But why should we care? Isn’t this only for big software vendors? Let me open your eyes to the benefits of leveraging these marketplaces, whether you’re a customer, consultant, system integrator, ISV, or startup. I’ll share insights from the field and demonstrate the win-win-win scenarios you can create. From app modernization to exploring new markets, let’s dive into the world of cloud marketplaces together.

Let me tell you a joke - Azure Monitor, Azure Copilot, and KQL walk into a bar…

Azure Monitor is a comprehensive solution for collecting, analyzing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments. Enable it for your Azure environment, on-prem via Azure Arc, and integrate it into your Azure Local deployment. But what next? Many companies struggle to maximize the benefits of Azure Monitor while keeping control over functionality and costs.
In this session, we’ll explore how Azure Copilot can help you leverage Azure Monitor. And if KQL seems daunting, don’t worry—we’ll break it down and show you how to use it effectively. Let me show you how to become a monitoring hero and maintain oversight with ease!

VPN, SSE, GSA, and other myths - Lost in the new networking jungle?!

For over a decade, cybersecurity experts have said, ‘Identity is the new perimeter.’ Despite significant adoption of the Zero Trust security model, many companies still rely on traditional perimeter networks. Recently, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions have emerged as the new cloud-delivered network perimeters, adding to the confusion. Identity? Network? Cloud? Edge?
This session will clarify these concepts and provide a comprehensive overview of modern cloud datacenter networking, including Network Security Perimeter and Secure Landing Zones, in combination with Security Service Edge solutions like Global Secure Access. Join us to dive into the requirements, dependencies, and implementation implications.

When on-premises becomes the new Cloud – Azure Arc, Azure Local and the Adaptive Cloud

Unlock the full potential of your IT infrastructure with Azure’s innovative solutions! In this session, we’ll dive into how you can seamlessly run Windows Server 2025 and Hyper-V through Azure Arc. Discover the power of Azure Local products within your own datacenter, and learn how to integrate other cloud services with Azure for a unified management experience. Whether you’re using Azure services natively in the cloud or running VMware on Azure, this session will provide you with the insights you need. We’ll explore the possibilities, highlight key differences, and offer decision-making criteria tailored to your environment. Additionally, we’ll look at competitor offers to give you a comprehensive understanding of the landscape.
