Talk 1: Bicep for AVD - A New Friend has entered the chat
Discover how PowerShell orchestrates Bicep code to streamline Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) deployment and management. Explore the first steps into how PowerShell automates Bicep code translation from JSON, creating a seamless, repeatable process for configuring and maintaining AVD environments with Entra ID as the identity backbone. Learn how this combination enhances infrastructure as code by simplifying updates, reducing manual overhead, and establishing efficient, secure AVD operations. Perfect for those looking to leverage automation for optimized AVD management

Talk 2: Accelerate Cloud Native Development: How AI is Transforming Code Generation
In this presentation, we will demonstrate the development and use of an AI-powered code generation tool that employs a hybrid approach, combining probabilistic and deterministic methods. Our tool generates code tailored to our custom-built, AI-friendly framework, which integrates leading architectural patterns: Microservices, CQRS, DDD, Vertical Slice and Event Sourcing. The code generator creates complete solution structures aligned with these patterns, enabling efficient development of enterprise applications.

The tool leverages AI to automatically generate domain use cases, events, and state views, and it offers flexibility to use AI or templates for crafting application-specific client code. This approach ensures minimal, scalable, performant, and decoupled solutions. All the heavy lifting is handled by a powerful component library, invoked by the application client code, which abstracts the complexity of implementing these architectural patterns. What sets our approach apart is the unique integration of all five architectural patterns, providing a comprehensive and cohesive strategy for enterprise development.

Talk 3: C# Azure Functions - Migrating to Isolated Process
Learn about the latest developments in the world of Azure Functions for .NET With the Isolated model being the only supported mode for .NET in the future, it is now time to start looking at what are the differences compared to the traditional in-process model and how to work around some of the migration challenges that will inevitably arise.

Join this talk to learn how you can upgrade your functions to the Isolated model, what are the main differences and how you can future-proof your Functions beyond .NET 8
