Ryan Yates - Making Operational Azure Management a Breeze

Have you just started using the cloud? Perhaps you've been using it for a while and have experienced the dreaded resource sprawls or a huge bill at the end of the month.

The aim of this session is to showcase all of the components available that allow organisations to embrace power of the cloud once they have invested time in laying down the key foundations for its use.
Laying this operational governance foundation will ensure that your development team can then work in an agile way whilst enforcing that they work in accordance with all the governance, compliance & security, whilst ensuring that cost management, resource management and other cloud management aspects are implicitly adhered to as well giving your operations teams fewer headaches

Tighe Brennan & Chris Reddington - Building Serverless Cloud-Native applications with Azure Container Apps

Technology is always evolving. We’ve seen physical machines turn into virtual. Virtual machines turn into containers. But often, those containers need an orchestrator like Kubernetes to reap the full benefits. What if there was a simpler option? Join Tighe and Chris as they introduce you to Azure Container Apps (Preview), Dapr and Keda - Helping you get started on your serverless cloud native journey.

NOTE: If you plan to attend this event, then please RSVP. If you're unable to join us, then please update your RSVP. We have a strict set of capacity limits for the venue and must give advanced notice on the list of attendees. There will be no virtual option for this event.
