Omaha Azure User Group Meeting - Feb'2026
Details
Our February 2026 meeting will be held on the 18th, starting at 6 PM Central Time. It will be a hybrid meeting hosted at 18881 W Dodge Rd, Elkhorn, NE 68022.
Topic: Identity First Architecture: Stop Passing Secrets Around
Credential-based architecture is a legacy pattern that continues to introduce risk, complexity, and operational overhead. Modern Azure environments allow applications to authenticate using identity rather than secrets, eliminating key distribution, rotation, and storage concerns.
This session explores how to design systems around managed identities, workload federation, and role-based trust. Through real-world examples and live demos, we’ll replace connection strings and keys with identity-driven access patterns across services.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies to reduce security risk, simplify operations, and modernize their cloud architecture.
