Attendees will learn how to shift from doing ad-hoc deployments of web applications to Azure App Service to doing fully Terraformed, CI/CD pipeline deployments to Azure Kubernetes Services. I'll to cover how this shift occurred for our organization and how we handled it with the developers and business.

The end-result of this move was to bring us from doing periodic night-time deployments to zero-downtime continuous deployments. I'll show how we were able to make this happen within a matter of just a few months.

Tools you'll learn about: * Docker * Terraform / Terragrunt * AKS * Azure DevOps Pipelines * Azure Container Registry

In this session we will walk through how to build a static site using Statiq, Github, and Azure that is much more than just delivering simple HTML.

Need an API? editable content? authorization? CI/CD? Check check and check. I'll show you to make that static site dynamic with Azure functions, Headless CMS, modern tooling, and Azure Static Web Apps.

Leave this session knowing how you can use your .NET / C# skills to build a blazing fast site that costs almost nothing to run and is a joy to work with.

With Event Hub, IoT Hub, Service Bus, and Azure Storage Queue, Azure has a number of PaaS offerings available when it comes to Queueing, Eventing, and Messaging. The number of services and mystery about their purposes can lead to a bit of analysis paralysis when it comes to which service to use, and, more importantly, when to use each service.

In this session we will explore the services available at Azure for queueing, handling events, and messaging, and we'll look at appropriate examples of when and how to use each of them. By the end of the talk you'll be ready to go make a recommendation to your team about which service to use for various scenarios, and you'll have seen how to easily integrate these services into your .Net applications.

In this session we'll look into the platform services at Azure for IoT development and telemetry ingestion, including IoT Hub, Device Provisioning Service, Stream Analytics, and Storage. Using C#.Net, we'll set up a simulator and register some devices to send telemetry into our hub and process the stream data into hot and cold paths. We'll then finish up by discussing IoT Edge and development for IoT Edge

In this presentation, I will talk about what Serverless is and what some of the different Serverless technologies are that Azure offers.

After this introduction, I will discuss more about how to architect a system to be event driven and embrace the use of Azure Serverless frameworks.

Finally, a demo of using some of these frameworks will be shown and a discussion of how developers can start using these frameworks today.

During this all day workshop we will demonstrate how to plan for and manage the full lifecycle of a modern application using the latest Microsoft Azure resources and tooling. We will start with a high level overview of a wide variety of architectural and Cloud-based considerations and we will then work our way down through a complete setup of a basic application all the way from a clean Azure DevOps and GIT repo setup, through bootstrapping an empty UI in Angular and a robust API using .NET Core/C#. We will demonstrate how to fully automate the deployment and development lifecycle of these application components up to Azure. We will ultimately take the same Azure configuration and convert it to a full “infrastructure as code” setup using Terraform.

We will also discuss how to efficiently and cost-effectively make use of Azure resources by demonstrating various best practices for choosing the right components and proactively monitoring utilization and costs of your applications.

If you want an example of a very robust and “real world” Cloud-based architecture targeted to Microsoft Azure then this 8 hour workshop will be something you do not want to miss.
