Microsoft Reactor London

There is no single tool that solves application security. The strongest programs are built on collaboration. In this Reactor session, GitHub Advanced Security and Semgrep come together to show how modern teams can extend beyond native capabilities in a seamless, developer-first way.

We will explore how security-forward, agile solutions play better together without forcing teams to adopt clunky, legacy tooling. Join us for a practical conversation on how collaboration over compromise creates faster, safer, and more scalable AppSec programs.

In the second session of our Python + Agents series, we’ll extend agents built with the Microsoft Agent Framework by adding two essential capabilities: context and memory.

We’ll begin with context, commonly known as Retrieval‑Augmented Generation (RAG), and show how agents can ground their responses using knowledge retrieved from local data sources such as SQLite or PostgreSQL.

This enables agents to provide accurate, domain‑specific answers based on real information rather than model hallucination. Next, we’ll explore memory—both short‑term, thread‑level context and long‑term, persistent memory.

You’ll see how agents can store and recall information using solutions like Redis or open‑source libraries such as Mem0, enabling them to remember previous interactions, user preferences, and evolving tasks across sessions.

By the end, you’ll understand how to build agents that are not only capable but context‑aware and memory‑efficient, resulting in richer, more personalized user experiences.

Migration isn’t just “move it to Azure.” In this Azure Decoded session, we’ll walk through a holistic, foundation-first approach to migrating and modernizing an on-prem estate — compute, databases, and apps — and then show what to do after you land: security, resiliency, monitoring, and optimization.

We’ll also highlight where newer “agentic” capabilities (Azure Copilot / GitHub Copilot–assisted workflows) fit into the journey, and how the new Migrate & Modernize Foundation VTD is structured to help practitioners pick the right path without drowning in theory.

What you’ll learn:

• Choose the right migration path. (rehost vs. replatform vs. refactor/re-architect) and see how CAF + landing zones and Azure Migrate fit into a practical plan.
• Map your workload mix to Azure targets — VM/AVS options for compute, and clear choices across SQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL/MySQL migration approaches and tooling.
• Modernize after the move: how to prioritize security + resiliency (e.g., Defender for Cloud concepts), plus the operational basics (monitoring, scaling, backup/DR) so the migration actually sticks.
