In this session, Microsoft's lead architect for Messaging, Clemens Vasters, will provide an overview of the Azure Messaging services (Event Hubs, Event Grid, and Service Bus) in the industry context and with a lens on interoperability. You will learn about the various standardization activities that Microsoft is involved in to help drive interoperability across different platform and cloud vendors, and how those standards surface in Microsoft's platform services. You'll be getting a little crash course in some key protocols like HTTP, AMQP, MQTT, Kafka and will learn how they overlap or complement each other. You'll also learn about higher level standards such as CNCF CloudEvents and OPC UA that provide a layer of abstraction for special use-case scenarios.
