IMPLEMENTING AZURE SQL MANAGED INSTANCE FAILOVER GROUPS en

As organizations move SQL Server workloads to Azure SQL Managed Instance, Failover Groups are often introduced as a simple checkbox for resiliency. In practice, implementing them correctly requires a clear understanding of what Failover Groups do—and just as importantly, what they do not.

This session provides a practical, architecture-driven walkthrough of implementing Azure SQL Managed Instance Failover Groups as a disaster recovery solution. Attendees will learn how Failover Groups work under the hood, why replication is asynchronous, how failover actually behaves during regional outages, and how to design applications and operations to handle these realities safely.

Topics covered include:

Architectural prerequisites and design decisions for Failover Groups

How replication, DNS listeners, and failover policies work in Azure SQL MI

RPO/RTO expectations and common misconceptions around “high availability”

Operational considerations such as login synchronization, monitoring, and failover testing

Common implementation mistakes and how to avoid them during migrations

This session is intended for DBAs, cloud engineers, and architects responsible for designing resilient SQL platforms in Azure. Attendees will leave with a clear, real-world framework for implementing Failover Groups confidently, aligning them with business continuity requirements, and communicating their limitations effectively to stakeholders.

How to survive AI in the workplace en

How to Survive AI in the Workplace," Gilda Alvarez breaks down the reality of working in an era where technology is advancing faster than careers can keep up. She exposes the coming workforce divide created by data analytics and Artificial Intelligence—where some roles will expand, many will transform, and others simply won’t survive. Rather than fear this shift, Gilda empowers her audience with a roadmap for resilience: understand the technology, anticipate the change, and actively upskill before disruption arrives. Her message is both a warning and a lifeline, emphasizing that technical fluency—especially in analytics, automation, and AI-assisted tooling—will determine who thrives in the next era of work. Gilda positions Microsoft Copilot as the modern professional’s lifesaver, a force-multiplier that helps employees accelerate learning, automate repetitive tasks, and stay competitive in an AI-driven world. Her talk equips attendees with the clarity and survival skills needed not only to navigate the AI revolution, but to harness its power and strategically redesign their careers for the future.

FROM CLUSTERS TO CLOUD: HOW HA AND DR CHANGE IN AZURE SQL en

High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are frequently treated as interchangeable concepts in cloud architecture discussions. In Azure SQL, this misunderstanding leads to incorrect designs, unrealistic SLAs, and painful surprises during real outages.

This session clarifies the architectural differences between SQL Server Always On Availability Groups and Azure SQL Managed Instance Failover Groups, explaining why they are not equivalent solutions and should not be evaluated as such. Attendees will explore how synchronous replication enables true high availability in SQL Server Always On, how Azure SQL Managed Instance provides built-in HA under the hood, and why Failover Groups exist to solve a fundamentally different problem: regional disaster recovery.

Through clear diagrams and real-world scenarios, the session demonstrates:

How HA and DR differ in replication model, failover behavior, and data loss expectations

Why SQL Managed Instance intentionally hides replicas and clustering complexity

How to correctly align availability designs with business RPO/RTO requirements

Common migration mistakes and how to avoid them

This talk is intended for DBAs, cloud architects, and technical leaders responsible for designing or migrating SQL platforms to Azure. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for selecting the right availability strategy—and the language to explain those choices confidently to stakeholders.

Build your Cloud Disaster solution with Azure SQL MI en

In an era where outages can cost millions and trust is built on uptime, disaster recovery is no longer optional — it’s strategic.
This session dives deep into how to design and implement a cloud-native disaster recovery (DR) strategy using Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI).

Surviving the Work from Home burnout en

After the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, I began the work from home experience. It was a time of uncertainty in the world and I became the lab rat of working from home. It was the beginning of a trend that will eventually culminate in the norm during this 2020 pandemic.

I had to reinvent myself without a guide and eventually burned-out. My physical and mental health slowly deteriorated until I decided to learn more about the human body and the way energy is processed. I want to share my experience with others and help them reduce burnout and become highly productive.
