Security teams want control. Developers need agility. Network engineers demand stability. And leadership expects it all to work — securely, efficiently, and at scale.

This full-day workshop tackles one of the most persistent challenges in Azure: how to design cloud environments that balance governance and flexibility without triggering shadow IT, security breaches, or operational gridlock.

We’ll start by unpacking why these tensions arise in real-world Azure estates. Then we’ll dive into practical, scalable solutions that satisfy all stakeholders — from CISOs to app teams — using native Azure capabilities.

Expect hands-on demos, real-world architecture patterns, and proven strategies for:

* Structuring environments with Management Groups, Azure Policy, and role-based access control
* Automating network governance using Azure Virtual Network Manager
* Designing platform and application landing zones that enforce guardrails without blocking innovation
* Aligning security, operations, and development through modular, reusable infrastructure-as-code
* Delegating and controlling access at scale.
* Managing and controlling costs.

Whether you're building from scratch or untangling an inherited mess, this session will equip you with the tools, patterns, and confidence to architect Azure environments that scale — securely and sanely.
