Master Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Monitoring with Azure Monitor SCOM MI

Join this session to find out how Azure Monitor SCOM MI revolutionizes the monitoring landscape for servers and applications you are running in the clouds or on-prem. We show you how to design and implementation basics you need to know to get started! Gain valuable insights into the integration with Azure Monitor and explore querying and dashboarding possibilities to give you better observability across your infrastructure and application stacks.

What you will learn:
- Vision and Strategy: Understand what AzMon SCOM MI is and how it fits into your monitoring strategy
- Design and Deployment: Learn best practices for design and deployment of the solution.
- Demonstrations: See the product and integrations in action in real-world scenarios.
- Dashboarding: See how integrations with cloud solutions of Grafana and AzMon change the observability landscape and gain insights into gaining the visibility you need for your applications.

Microsoft Copilot for organizations and legal departments
In this session, Remco is going to explain what Generative AI and Microsoft CoPilot is. He will explain if CoPilot can already be used, which licenses are recommended and what needs to happen before CoPilot can be turned on. Remco will discuss the status of CoPilot in the Netherlands, the privacy concerns, and some use cases/examples of CoPilot and of course the impact that CoPilot will have for organizations.

Ali Baba and the Entra ID tokens: script authentication with the MS Graph

As AzureAD and MSOnline modules phase out, we're adapting to accessing Entra ID using the Microsoft Graph. This session will clarify how to authenticate in new ways, focusing on App Registrations, Mg-modules, Tokens, and App Permissions. We'll debate the need for App Registrations, the advantages and drawbacks of secrets versus certificates or federated authentication, and the practicalities of these methods. Attendees will learn about federated authentication's applicability, Mg-modules' authentication compatibility, and the functionalities of access tokens. Experts Raymond and Sander will share their firsthand experience in developing scripts for this new authentication framework. Join us to gain insights and practical skills for a smooth transition to scripting with the Microsoft Graph for Entra ID.
