Azure Migrations vs. Beer Brewing – What’s the difference?!

Most of us like to get an ice-cold beer in the evening. But not everyone wants to brew their own. The same could be said about Azure: Everyone wants to use it, but not everybody enjoys the migration process. Do you want the factory standard or the tailored flavor? What’s the difference?!
This session will compare the process of beer brewing to the needed steps of an Azure Migration to find out the key differences and similarities. We will have a look at common requirements, success factors and lessons learned, supported by some fun stories and notes from the field. We promise there will be Azure and Beer in the session. So, join us to learn more about both…

Azure RBAC, Access policies and other Azure Myths

In this years demo driven session we will dive into the world of access to and in Azure. The goal is to finally sort out what RBAC, Access Policies, Custom Roles and App permissions are, and what they are used for. We will also figure out the challenges caused by restricted access and how to overcome this. And we will make sure that everybody knows when to use what - as always supported by live demos!
So let's stop wondering ... let's start working ...

Service Principals, App Registrations and other Azure Myths

If you are reading the title of this session and your first thought is: "WHAAAT?" ... this is your session!
In this, demo driven, session we will dive into the world of identities and authentication for apps and other use cases. The goal is to finally sort out what Service Principals, App Registrations, Managed Identities and Enterprise Apps are, and what they are used for. Also we will make sure that everybody knows when to use what supported by live demos!
So let's stop wondering ... let's start working ...

Azure Networking - Native Tools vs. 3rd Party Management

Networking is a core component in most Azure environments. But there is one hard choice if you are building you network setup: Do you want to use Azure Native features like Azure Network Manager, Route Server and Azure DNS?! Or do you prefer a 3rd Party Management Solution to maintain and operate your Cloud Network?! And how does this all work out if you are trying to use Infrastructure ad Code?!
This session will help you to understand the pros and cons of different setups and allows you to make your own decisions in the future.

Sustainability - What's Cloud & AI got to do with it?!

Sustainability is at the top of many companies' agendas. As are the topics of cloud and AI. But what does sustainability actually mean? And how does this fit together when we are moving more and more resources to the cloud or creating them there? What role do cloud architects and DevOps teams play in this context? And what does all this have to do with me?

The aim of the session is to provide an overview. Practical examples will be used to shed light on important fields of action and best practices. We will also take a look at available tools and decision-making options.

Radius - Infrastructure Recipes - Control your devs without controlling them

Radius - no worries, we are not talking about the protocol from 1991 - is an open-source, cloud-native, application platform that enables developers and the operators that support them to define, deploy, and collaborate on cloud-native applications across public clouds and private infrastructure.

In this session, we take a look at Radius in general and Infrastructure Recipes in particular. We are particularly interested in how we can enable cross-platform deployments without our developers having to become Infrastructure as Code experts.

Supported by live demos, we will get to know the new possibilities of Radius and also look at the differences to classic deployment methods.
