Brisbane Azure User Group

Australia’s backyard fauna are nature’s ultimate chaos engineers. In this fast‑paced, demo heavy session, we’ll channel our inner Wile E. Coyote —optimistic, iterative, occasionally singed — and show how combining AI, IoT, and a bit of ACME‑grade creativity can turn your backyard, deck and shed into a humane, real‑time defence system. Then using MCP and Azure we'll turnover control to Agentic AI: what could possibly go wrong?

Enterprise AI success is no longer about choosing the right model or writing better prompts — it’s about building the right ecosystem.

In this session, we explore the Azure AI ecosystem from a delivery and architecture perspective, showing how real-world AI solutions emerge from the combination of data platforms, semantic foundations, agent orchestration, pro-code and low-code experiences, and securely exposed tools and APIs. Drawing on Microsoft’s latest Ignite announcements—Fabric IQ, Foundry IQ, and Work IQ—we’ll unpack how Microsoft is converging on a unified intelligence layer that makes AI agents useful at enterprise scale.

You’ll see how these capabilities map to practical architectures, where teams typically go wrong on the path to AI ROI, and which patterns consistently succeed. The focus is on delivering measurable value today—search, summarisation, decision support—while deliberately preparing for the next wave of agent-driven systems.

This talk is aimed at developers and architects who want to move beyond demos and build AI platforms that scale, govern, and deliver real outcomes.

We will explore how to leverage this DNS-based service to achieve global high availability and seamless releases. Pacifique will share a real-world case study of how they simplified their deployment process to eliminate downtime and walk through a practical demo on how to get it running in minutes.
