Fraud Detection with Azure API Management and Microsoft Fabric

In this session, we will explore how to leverage Azure API Management (APIM) and Microsoft Fabric to build a fraud detection solution. By creating an application network, we can analyze user behavior, identify deviations, and detect anomalies that may indicate fraudulent activities. You’ll learn how to integrate understand the user behavior, monitor traffic patterns, and leverage Microsoft Fabric to uncover insights through data analytics.

Unlocking Hybrid Integration with Azure Logic Apps, Kubernetes, and Azure Arc

Organizations often struggle to integrate applications and data across multi-cloud and on-premises environments while ensuring reliability, security, and performance. In this session, we’ll explore the new Logic Apps hybrid model and how it enables seamless operations in environments with limited cloud connectivity, local processing requirements, and specific network constraints.

We’ll demonstrate how to leverage Kubernetes, Azure Arc, and Azure Container Apps to build a scalable hybrid infrastructure, efficiently manage workloads, and optimize integration patterns. Join us to discover how this approach empowers your hybrid integration strategy, ensuring flexibility and control in modern enterprise architectures.

Better API Governance with Azure API Center

Having an API catalog is a critical tool for every enterprise that wants to be successful with their API program. An API catalog brings together the different roles involved in an API program and, by promoting the collaboration between them, it fosters API reuse, ensured compliance and better developer productivity.

In this session, we will explore the critical role of API Governance and demonstrate how Azure API Center can be leveraged to streamline the entire API full-lifecycle management process. Using a persona-based approach, we will walk through the perspectives of key stakeholders : API Product Owner, API Governance Lead and API Consumer.

In this session we will explore what is Azure API Center and how to integrate it in your API design workflow using Azure DevOps.

AI Gateway : how to securely manage and scale generative AI workloads.

AI services are primarily accessed through APIs, highlighting the critical importance of a robust and efficient API management strategy. This strategy is vital for maintaining control and governance over the consumption of AI services.

As AI services continue to expand and seamlessly integrate with APIs, there is a growing demand for a comprehensive AI Gateway concept. This concept extends the core principles of API management, aiming to accelerate the experimentation of advanced use cases and pave the way for further innovation.

In this session we will present the AI Gateway concept and the APIM capabilities to implement different design patterns.

AKS Automatic - Best Practices at Your Fingertips

Kubernetes is often considered complex, especially for those new to container orchestration and microservices architecture. The challenges of networking, security, cluster maintenance, and a steep learning curve can be overwhelming.

AKS Automatic is a SKU that simplifies the most common tasks associated with managing your AKS clusters while retaining the extensibility needed to adapt to evolving customer requirements. This new SKU ensures that your cluster is production-ready by default, with built-in best practices and a streamlined 'code-to-Kubernetes' experience.

Let's explore this new offering to understand what's in the box, which best practices it covers and which ones are up to you.

Healthy apps, happy users: smarter monitoring with Azure Health Models

Traditional monitoring gives us plenty of metrics, dashboards, and alerts—but it doesn’t always tell us what we really need to know: is my application healthy for the end user?

In this session, we’ll dive into Azure Monitor Health Models (preview), a new capability that bridges the gap between raw telemetry and business context. You’ll learn how to define health based on your critical business flows (e.g., login, checkout, live data feed), map them to the technical components and dependencies that support them, and configure signals that reflect what “healthy” really means for your application.

By the end of the session, you’ll see how Health Models drastically simplify monitoring, cut down alert fatigue, and provide a clear, aggregated view of your system’s resilience—all while keeping the focus on what matters most: your customers’ experience

Cut the Noise: Alert on What Really Matters with Azure Health Models

Zero-Code, Full Power: Building Secure Serverless Data APIs with Azure

API programs are essential for organizations to stay competitive and meet the growing demand for seamless integration and data sharing. However, building and expanding an API program incurs a significant cost that customers strive to optimize to achieve the ultimate goal of instant time-to-market.
In this session will delve into how the Data API builder enables swift and secure database object exposure through REST or GraphQL endpoints allowing data access on any platform, language, or device.
By combining DAB with Azure Container Apps and API Management we will build up and secure a serverless data API without writing a single line of code!
