You’ve shipped your .NET app to Azure, but is it truly cloud-native, or just running in the cloud?

In this session Florian goes beyond the "getting started" tutorials and tackle the real-world challenges of building resilient, secure, and scalable applications in Azure.

Florian will cover advanced practices such as integrating Azure Key Vault and Managed Identities for zero-trust security, implementing distributed tracing with Application Insights and OpenTelemetry, designing for failure with asynchronous messaging (Service Bus, Event Grid), and building robust deployment workflows with slots and feature flags.

Expect live demos, opinionated architecture guidance, and practical techniques you can apply immediately to level up your apps. This isn’t about checkbox migrations, it’s about building apps that are born cloud native.

Help .NET developers avoid common Azure pitfalls and learn how to design secure, scalable, and maintainable cloud-native apps by leveraging key Azure services effectively.
