18.00 Inloop & eten

19.00 Mart de Graaf - Visual Studio Code: Best tool to build Infra as Code?
Are you the colleague who secretly still uses Notepad or Notepad++? Or are you the trendy frontend developer who finds Visual Studio intimidating? Are you sure you’re using the right tool for the right task? Can Visual Studio Code be the one tool to handle it all?
In this high-energy, no-slides, all-demo session, we’ll dive into these questions and more. For this session we will be exploring the possibilities of VS Code using Infrastructure as code. We will cover handy tools so you won't need any other tool to do your daily job.
We’ll explore the key features of VS Code that every platform engineer should know. Whether you’re a modern “hipster dev” or a seasoned “eminence grise,” this is a must-see session for anyone curious about maximizing their tooling potential.

20.00 Rene Vermijs - Extending the Azure native policies through the Corrective Controls initiative to ensure compliancy (level 300)
This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of the types of controls in place to ensure compliancy with the standards for Azure Cloud usage for using it in a Rabobank perspective, the challenges faced, and the objectives of the Corrective Controls initiative.
We will go into the considerations we made on designing and implementing the Corrective Controls framework and into the technical details of the framework and its runtime behaviour with for example Azure Container Apps and PowerShell scripts.
