As organizations strive for platform-agnostic flexibility, Michiel and Sven dive into how to build scalable and resilient solutions using Azure and open-source tools like Kubernetes and AKS (Arc). This session explores combining AKS with AKS Arc to extend cloud capabilities to on-premises environments essentially creating an "unofficial cloud." Learn how to leverage containers, optimize workflows with CI/CD, and design a cloud-native architecture that remains platform-independent. This session is ideal for organizations looking to migrate or modernize their infrastructure without being locked into a single provider.
