Implementing Zero-Trust Security for Cloud Applications with Microsoft Azure
Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) has become a critical framework for enterprises adopting the cloud. Built on the principle of “never trust, always verify,” Zero-Trust ensures that every request, whether internal or external, is authenticated, authorized, and continuously monitored. This approach helps organizations reduce risks while supporting performance and innovation.
In this session, attendees will gain practical insights into how Zero-Trust can be applied in Microsoft Azure environments. Key strategies include micro-segmentation to isolate workloads and reduce attack surfaces, strong identity management to enforce authentication for users and services, and least-privilege models that minimize unauthorized access. The discussion highlights Azure tools such as API Management for secure API access, Azure Active Directory for robust identity and access management, and Application Gateway with Web Application Firewall for perimeter protection.
Real-world examples will demonstrate secure data flows, adaptive authentication policies, and monitoring pipelines that improve resilience and compliance. Attendees will also learn how organizations adopting Zero-Trust have achieved measurable results, including reduced lateral movement in breaches, improved regulatory readiness, and accelerated secure cloud adoption.
By translating Zero-Trust into actionable Azure-based patterns, this session equips IT leaders, architects, and developers with the clarity and tools to strengthen security while enabling business growth.
Zero-Friction Cloud-Native: Building and Deploying Portable Microservices with Dapr
As organizations modernize applications with microservices and Kubernetes, they often run into the same friction points: inconsistent service-to-service communication, complex integrations, uneven developer environments, and cloud-specific deployment differences that slow delivery and increase operational risk. Cloud-native promises portability and scale—but without the right patterns, teams end up rebuilding plumbing instead of delivering business value.
This session explores a pragmatic approach to building scalable, cloud-native microservices using Dapr as the distributed application runtime, combined with developer-friendly workflows like GitHub Codespaces to standardize environments and accelerate onboarding. We’ll start by framing the business case: how Dapr reduces “undifferentiated heavy lifting” (retries, service discovery patterns, pub/sub, secrets, state management) so teams can ship features faster while improving reliability and maintainability.
Drawing from hands-on implementation patterns, we’ll walk through an end-to-end reference architecture: decomposing services, introducing sidecar-based building blocks, enabling event-driven integration with pub/sub, and standardizing secure configuration and secrets across environments. We’ll then connect the developer experience to production by showing how a consistent Codespaces-based setup supports local development, CI pipelines, and repeatable deployments.
Finally, we’ll focus on multi-cloud portability: how to deploy the same application with minimal changes to AKS, EKS, or GKE, using Kubernetes-native manifests, consistent observability, and platform-agnostic runtime patterns. Real-world lessons learned will highlight common pitfalls (over-coupling, mis-scoped state, unclear boundaries, operational gaps) and how to avoid them.
This session is designed for architects, platform engineers, and senior developers. Attendees will leave with a clear blueprint for building scalable microservices with Dapr, improving developer productivity with Codespaces, and deploying confidently across major Kubernetes platforms with minimal effort.
