Azure Elastic SAN, a new service and is it for me?

What you will learn during this session:

Azure DNS Private Resolver.... Can it help me?
What is the Azure DNS Private Resolver? How to use and implement it, in different scenario's.
We all know what problems DNS can give of it's not working correctly. But what if you have a mix of on-premises DNS servers, private dns zones in Azure or even dns servers at other branches of your company?
If you worked with this you know what kind of hassle this can be. To make things easier within your hybrid Azure environment Microsoft introduces the Azure DNS Private Resolver.
I'll show you how to setup and configure this resource, how to connect it to your on-prem DNS servers and how by using this resource you can query Azure Private DNS zones as well as on-prem DNS zones
The community... It's you, me but also your employer!
We all see people at events or usergroups helping out, doing talks, workshops or support the event in other ways.
How do those people get there? And if I want to help out or speak at an event can I and where should I go?
These are all important questions that I will try to answer, by telling you my own route into volunteering, speaking at event and being on the organising committee of a number of events, but...
Beyond these question, there's is one that is often overlooked. We all have employers, but also for the self-employed, what can the community bring back to the company.
A lot of companies pay for employees to go to events, which is awesome for the employees as they can learn and progresse, but for this to be sustainable for the company we will tell you how your employer can benifit also from events wheter directly or indirectly.
My road to public speaking... Join me!
Introverts, we all know them...
I know I am one, so why would an introvert do public speaking, and how does the process work, for in this case me.
Of course this won't go for everyone, but It will hopefully show that if you want you can do this too!
I'll take you through:
- Reasons why I decided to go this way
- The problems I encountered
- Where I am now
So what can you do?
If you want to get involved in speaking on events, where do you start and what are thing to think about
This is a personal story for which I hope it helps others being introverted or wanting to start in public speaking to get on stage on enjoy it!
Azure Functions and network security.. Can it be done?
Do you work with Azure functions, but want to keep them secure?
If you got a closed and secure Azure environment you don't always want your Azure Functions to be reachable for the whole world, but just from within your own environment.
For this we can use private endpoints and secure the access from Azure Functions to your own clients, and we can also route outgoing traffic from an Azure function via the Azure Firewall. This way also you outgoing traffic can be secured.
for the developers, all code will be in bicep and available after the session
In this session you will see
- the deployment of an Azure Function using Azure Devops
- setting up Private Endpoints to secure the incoming traffic
- using Azure Firewall to secure the outgoing traffic
- using Azure VPN to demonstrate the workings

Azure Arc, How did I help you?
Implement Azure ARC using a privatelink scope and health monitoring. As simple as this sounds we ran into several problems which we didn't expect as we setup evertyting uses Microsoft supplied best practices. In the process we needed to created several support tickets and work with Microsoft Support to get these basic principles working. I'll show you the problems we ran into and how they were solved. It does raise a question.... Is this specfic setup ground breaking new, or are some parts of this setup not commonly used for whatever reason? It's not a demo filled session but more informational to show that not everything works out of the box
Meetings in a COVID era, and beyond
Shorter, efficient and more productive meetings, isn't that what we all want? How to accomplish this is where most people and companies struggle. During this session I'll share tips and tricks I've learned over the years, and my experiences during the lockdown where we were forced to do remote/virtual meetings.
