Choose your data services, deploy and off you go! The ease of setting up a data platform solution in Azure a no brainer. But to set a production ready architecture in Azure requires you to figure out connectivity between services, security configurations, all the way down to access control to services and users alike.

During this full day precon we will be both going through the theory, as well as building out a reference architecture using Azure Databricks and Microsoft Fabric to bring these architecture principles to life.

We will begin the day by going through a systematic process to choose the most appropriate services for your use case, by looking at the entire Azure data landscape. We will then take a closer look at how to make these services work seamlessly in your environment by consider monitoring, availability, backups and encryption to name a few.

In the second part of the day, we will be focusing on two main areas: networking and access control. We will figure out how to make Azure networking work for your benefit and how to really make complex networking scenarios work without hick ups. With access control, we need to get very familiar with Azure AD, as well as figure out how access can be managed to empower the different users of our data solution.

As we build on our reference architecture throughout this precon day, you will have a starting point with all architectural aspects covered, and the understanding adopt this architecture to different scenarios. During this day you will be give a boost to your skills for architecting a powerful data platform solution on Azure!
