Y esta de regreso el Global Azure 2026, y nosotros como comunidad lo vamos a realizar en 2 días. 16 de abril presencial 17 de abril virtual Agenda 📅 Thursday, April 16, 2026 📅 🕜 7:20 pm @ Sala principal ⭐️ BUILD SCALABLE AI APPS WITH AZURE SQL DATABASE HYPERSCALE Build AI apps that run securely and scale with your needs with Azure SQL Database Hyperscale. We’ll cover native vector indexes for semantic search, read scale out for low latency RAG, and secure model invocation with Microsoft Foundry, using the model of your choice, from T SQL. Hear directly from global technology company Hexagon and investment firm BlackRock who will join us to share their experience along with best practices, demos and more! 🙂 Juan Rafael 🕜 8:10 pm @ Sala principal ⭐️ AI GOVERNANCE SIN DRAMA LOGIC APPS COMO ORQUESTADOR MULTI-MODELO CON CONTENT SAFETY Y CONTROL DE GAS Las empresas no necesitan el mejor modelo de IA — necesitan el modelo correcto, seguro y dentro del presupuesto, para cada tarea y en cada momento. En esta sesión construimos en vivo una arquitectura de prueba de concepto sobre Azure donde Logic Apps Standard actúa como orquestador inteligente entre OpenAI/GPT-4o, Claude (Anthropic) y Gemini, usando Azure AI Content Safety como capa de governance antes y después de cada llamada al modelo. Veremos cómo clasificar y rutear prompts según tipo de tarea, costo disponible y SLA; cómo detectar jailbreaks, PII y contenido dañino antes de que llegue al modelo; cómo loguear tokens, activar circuit breakers y enviar alertas de presupuesto con Azure Monitor; y cómo Azure AI Foundry encaja como sandbox de evaluación antes de promover un modelo a producción. Todo demostrado como PoC funcional: flujo real, custom connectors, respuestas comparadas en vivo. 🙂 Luis Junior Franco Ruiz \- \- \- \- \- \- \- 🙂 JUAN RAFAEL ⚡️ Solutions Architect Dynamics 365 Global MCT \| MVP Business Aplications I work as a Solutions Architect for Dynamics 365 and Power Platform at Alianza Corp.
