Microsoft Intune is largely polling‑driven, which limits automation at scale. In this session, I’ll show how we implemented an event‑driven automation architecture at a 20,000‑seat customer using Microsoft Graph change notifications, Event Grid, and Azure Functions. You’ll learn how to react to Microsoft 365 and Intune changes in near real time and extend endpoint management with cloud‑native, signal‑based automation patterns.

Story

- Intune wave rollout
- Polling‑based automation in Microsoft 365 and Intune: limitations at scale
- Event‑driven thinking: why signals matter more than schedules
- Microsoft Graph change notifications: capabilities and constraints
- Reference architecture: Graph → Event Grid → Azure Functions
- Designing reliable event‑driven automation (filtering, idempotency, retries)
- Applying the pattern to real‑world endpoint and tenant automation scenarios

Expected Learning / Outcome

- Understanding the structure and limitations of Microsoft Graph change notifications
- Insight into building event‑driven automation using Event Grid and Azure Functions
- Awareness of Microsoft 365 and Intune as signal providers rather than polling targets
- Architectural perspective on extending Intune with cloud‑native, reactive automation
