They will talk through the journey starting with the problems they faced with the existing platform. Then they will talk about the components they used to design the new Data platform and their purposes. Lastly, they will explain the new architecture and showcase the Data Platform in action.

<< Morning Break >>

## A touch of AI with Cognitive Services – Scott Holden ##
Machine Learning is a complex area, but what if as easy as just calling an API? Let's take a deeper dive into how we can incorporate Azure Cognitive Services to allow your applications to see, hear, and understand.

## FileServer Modernization in Cloud - Deepak Maheshwari ##
This session will cover the implementation of a file server in Azure and how it can help you replace or supplement on-premises fileServer

## Power of Serverless in Microsoft Azure - Sameera Perera ##
Join Sameera on this session to find out the power of Serverless in Microsoft Azure. The session will talk about the serverless capabilities in the platform and how it can benefit organizations to reduce operational cost, complexity and engineering lead time. Moreover, he will talk about the Serverless Architectures using Microsoft Azure Services and share some of the best practises using practical examples. Finally, he will showcase a pet Serverless Project that he has completed at home to showcase the limits of Serverless in Microsoft Azure.

## Docker Desktop for Kubernetes + Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) - Michael Sync ##
In this session, we will look at how developers can develop the application in local Kubernetes cluster using Docker Desktop and deploy them on AKS using Azure DevOps

Join me on a lap around Event Grid. Feel the push (not the pull) as react to changes within our domain

## Implementing Azure Governance - Deepak Maheshwari ##
Governance is essential for every organization and this session will cover the implementation of governance in Azure for an existing and a greenfield Azure deployment using Azure Scaffolding, Management Groups, Policy and Blueprints.

It looks like we're going to get some great content again this year, so to maximise value we're going to have 8 sessions of 45 minutes across a range of topics. We have a lot of giveaways for you all, Opsgility 1 year subscription and 55 Azure Passes to get you up to speed with the learnings.

We'll have a Science Lab (https://global.azurebootcamp.net/global-azure-science-lab-2019/) and the usual Racing Lab so if you want to participate in those please bring a laptop with the Azure tools installed.
