I metodi di autenticazione passwordless sono sempre più utilizzati nelle infrastrutture moderne. In questa sessione li metteremo a confronto e offriremo spunti su come iniziare ad inplementarli, mostrando come creare un utente passwordless fin dal principio con l’uso di Temporary Access Pass e FIDO2 keys.
Sono poche le aziende che oggi possono vantare una storia "cloud-only" o "cloud-native"; lo scenario più comune è quello che vede una parte dei workload "on-prem" ed una parte sul cloud. E' proprio quando questi workload devono poter comunicare tra loro che si parla di connettività ibrida. In questa sessione vedremo come si può connettere un datacenter on-prem col cloud Azure e come consentire l'accesso alle risorse su rete privata.
Quante volte, al supermercato, hai pagato un prezzo più alto salvo poi trovare lo stesso articolo nel negozio di fronte ad un prezzo più competitivo? Con Azure Data Explorer affrontiamo i primi passi nell'esplorazione interattiva dei dati e scopriremo dove ci conviene andare a fare la spesa!
In un’era in cui le aziende dipendono sempre di più dai sistemi informatici per il loro funzionamento, la protezione dei dati e la continuità del business sono elementi che devono necessariamente essere presi in considerazione. Gli eventi imprevisti come disastri naturali, guasti hardware, attacchi informatici ed errori umani possono causare l’interruzione dei servizi IT, con conseguenti perdite finanziarie significative. È qui che entra in gioco il piano di Disaster Recovery (DR), che permette alle aziende di ripristinare rapidamente i servizi IT e minimizzare l’impatto sul business degli eventi imprevisti. In questa sessione saranno approfonditi gli aspetti da tenere in considerazione per sviluppare piani di disaster recovery efficaci e saranno esaminate le opportunità offerte da Azure per adottare soluzioni moderne ed efficaci.

GSF (Green Software Foundation) is getting much attention from last COP27 where, among other news, the SCI specification has been launched. In this wannabe-sustainable session we understand the basics of the Green Software Foundation organization and the basics of the principles, patterns and practices we can implement. And remember: all this beautiful stuff, must be economically convenient.
Quante volte vi è capitato di rilasciare un'applicazione in produzione su Kubernetes e avete riscontrato problemi di difficile individuazione? E quante notti in bianco vi sono servite per risolverli? In genere il motivo per cui si verifica un problema non è sempre uno solo e anche se nel sistema tutti i servizi sono completamente funzionanti, potrebbero sempre esserci dei comportamenti inaspettati. E se ci fosse un modo per prevedere queste situazioni prima di arrecare danni ai vostri clienti?
In questa sessione vediamo come testare la resilienza delle nostre applicazioni usando i principi di Chaos Engineering e Azure Chaos Studio.

Do you have any Azure SQL Database that supports your production applications?
Are you sure you implemented all the best features to protect your solution?
Nooo?? What are you waiting for in the lobby?!?
Jump into the room and have a quick overview of how to protect your workload by improving authentication, securing network and data, auditing access, and so on!
We'll discuss topics like:
- Authentication and authorization mechanisms for Azure SQL Database, with a focus on Role-based access control (RBAC) and database-level permissions, as well as other interesting features you can leverage by integrating with Azure Active Directory.
- Connectivity options, introducing Service Endpoints and Private Endpoints to implement a network boundary around PaaS resources.
- Transparent data encryption (TDE) and always encrypted.
- Data masking and classification.
- Vulnerability assessment and advanced threat protection.
- Auditing and monitoring using Azure native tools.
By the end of this session, you will have a better understanding of how to secure your Azure SQL Database instances and ensure that your data is safe in the cloud.
Dedicated Pool refers to the enterprise data warehousing features that are available in Azure Synapse Analytics.
Its engine is based on SQL Server's one and working with it will be very familiar for SQL Server people.
Do you need a table? You can start with CREATE TABLE command but, be aware that Dedicated Pool is a distributed engine and that table could be Replicated or Distributed over multiple nodes.
Distribution, Data Skew, Data Movement are "new concepts" you must be familiar with to get better performance in a Dedicated Pool.
In applicazioni in cui i modelli di machine learning vanno aggiornati quando i dati di produzione cambiano è possibile usare Kubernetes e KEDA per decidere quando rifare il training del modello e renderlo disponibile agli altri componenti dell’applicazione. In questa sessione vedremo un caso d’uso reale di questi scenari.
Si parla tanto di microservizi, anche quando non sono strettamente necessari. Sono l'unica alternativa possibile per scrivere codice pulito, a componenti indipendenti e facilmente divisibile? E se costruissimo una soluzione a moduli? Attenzione, ogni modulo deve essere indipendente, dalla business logic ai dati, ma il tutto in un'unica soluzione. Molto più facili da testare, rispetto ai microservizi; meno infrastruttura da gestire, ma allo stesso tempo, pronti a scalare.

New megatrends like Cloud, ML/AI, Containers & Co. are undoubtedly becoming increasingly important. We also have many services that simplifies implementation of modern applications. But choosing the right architecture under hundreds of services is not an easy task.
In this session, we will demonstrate how to approach the right architecture on the example of an application that uses .NET, ML.NET, ASP.NET, Docker, ACI, ACR and Azure Batch Service. With a lot of demos, we will explain step by step how to build the right solution, and discuss the limitations of each used technology.
However, a real solution has numerous requirements that go beyond the scope of an experimental application. ML.NET is a viable approach that also has its limits.
You will learn how containers surprisingly behave under "heavy workloads" such as the ML training process. Such a real-life examples show that “lovely containers” have limits that you must overcome with another approach like Azure Batch Service or similar.
This is an advanced talk with lots of demos and insights into the world of Microsoft Azure Cloud Computing. Even if your focus is not necessarily ML or Azure Batch Service, this talk will teach you how to design and run scalable and elastic heavy-load solutions in Azure.

So join them in this demo-packed session and learn all about how Azure Arc and Windows Admin Center can help you to manage your hybrid cloud. So let the battle begin ...
Securing the cloud resources of your environment is an error-prone and time-consuming task when performed manually. In fact, there are many examples of data breaches caused by misconfiguration of the cloud resources like S3 buckets or Cloud storage accounts.
But, there are better ways to automate this process with a couple of technical approaches that you can use to mitigate these risks including cloud resource hygiene with infrastructure-as-code (IaC).
In fact, by eliminating manual configuration and shifting to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) your organization can minimize this threat and improve the security posture of the workloads.
Join my session to learn how you could eliminate these risks by following DevSecOps principles. Learn how IaC could allow you to version control changes in the Azure cloud environments.
