Hands-on building and deploying cloud-native distributed applications using Azure Container Apps

You have decided to run your cloud-native applications using containers? But how will you deploy these containers to Azure Cloud?
Kubernetes and Azure Kubernetes Service are very popular but also add a lot of complexity to setting up and deploying your infrastructure!
ACI or Azure Container Instances are very easy to setup, but don't offer you enough flexibility?
ACA or Azure Container Apps are Microsoft Azure's new serverless container offering, built as an abstraction on top of AKS, and could be the solution to your question!

In this hands-on workshop, Johnny will introduce you to Azure Container Apps and guide you through setting-up multi-container apps using Azure Container App container environments.

Thanks to Azure Container Apps, building and deploying your distributed cloud-native applications has become easier than ever.

Topics:
- What is cloud-native?
- What are distributed applications?
- Building distributed applications in .NET.
- Containerization and Docker
- Containers and .NET
- Azure Services that support containers
- What is "Azure Container Apps"?
- The architecture of Azure Container Apps
- Deploying to Azure Containers Apps
- Azure Container App Environments
- Azure Container App Scaling (Revisions and Replicas)
- Custom Scaling rules using KEDA
- Azure Container Apps and DAPR
- Azure Container Apps and Aspire

Prerequisites:
- A laptop running Windows or MacOS
- .NET 9 (SDK)
- Visual Studio 2022, Visual Studio Code or JetBrains Rider
- Docker Desktop
- Azure CLI
- An Azure subscription with some free credits (Visual Studio Dev Essentials)

Enable GenAI in your applications using .NET, Microsoft Azure and Semantic Kernel

How many AI agents and LLM's does it take to change a lightbulb?
LLM's are a very hot topic right now, but can we use them in a real business scenario?
Thanks to a Microsoft backed, open-source SDK called Semantic Kernel, you can seamlessly integrate an LLM-based AI with your own code to perform more complex tasks like sending emails, updating databases, ordering tickets, and much more...
With Semantic Kernel, you can leverage the same AI orchestration patterns that power Microsoft's Copilots in your own applications.
In this session, Johnny will explain the concepts and prove them using demos on a number of fun personal applications where he added a copilot using Semantic Kernel, Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Services.

What is new in .NET and C#?

November 2024 marks the release of .NET 9 and C# 13. In this session, I will talk about what is new in the latest version of .NET and what the future will bring for the .NET platform in general. Expect a number of new .NET 9 and C# 13 features and examples of those features.

Creating a quantum algorithm using Microsoft Q#

In the last couple of years, there has been a lot of talk about quantum computing. Last year, Microsoft has released their preview of Azure Quantum. So today, you cannot only write quantum programs on a simulated environment with Q# and .NET, but you can also write Q# and target a physical quantum computer on Azure Quantum.
In this session, I will guide you through the implementation of an existing quantum algorithm, step by step, while I explain all the details. This will be a very technical and code-heavy session.

Goodbye Azure Kubernetes Service! Hello Azure Container Apps!

You have decided to run your cloud-native applications using containers? But how will you deploy these containers to Azure Cloud?
AKS or Azure Kubernetes Service is very popular, but also adds a lot of complexity to setting-up and deploying your infrastructure!
ACI or Azure Container Instances are very easy to setup, but don't offer you enough flexibility?
ACA or Azure Container Apps are Microsoft Azure's new serverless container offering, built as an abstraction on top of AKS, and could be the solution to your question!
In this session I will introduce you to Azure Container Apps and compare it to AKS and ACI and guide you through setting-up a multi-container app using Azure Container App container environments.
