Session 1:
Speaker: Ronald Buys
Title: Deploying Azure DevOps Self-Hosted Agents through AKS
Deploying Azure DevOps Self-Hosted Agents through Azure Kubernetes Services is key to me because this can provide a lot of flexibility, control and low(er) costs in your CI/CD environment. In particular, we're going to talk about its usefulness and I'll show you how quickly it can be set up. On the basis of this session you could get started yourself to experience the benefits!

Session 2:
Speaker: Eduard Keilholz
Title: Forget SignalR! Start working real-time with Azure Web PubSub
Getting real-time information on processes and operations is essential when creating convenient, user-friendly web systems. With Web PubSub, Microsoft took the next step by enabling your to leverage real-time communication right from your browser. In this session, I will show you how to use Web PubSub and discover some advanced scenarios using alternative protocols, that enable real-time communication between servers and clients.
This session shows real-time communication between a C#.NET backend and an Angular SPA front-end application. I will demonstrate some basic features, and dig into Web PubSub's true possibilities with advanced scenarios.
