Speakers
🗣️ The June Surrey Azure Users meet, another fantastic night to chat and discuss the latest technologies from Microsoft.

🧠 Jared Holgate - Senior Cloud Architect at Microsoft is going to present "Best Practices for Terraform on Azure - Lessons from building Azure Verified Modules"
We'll share some tips and tricks for developing Terraform modules. This won't cover everything, but hopefully provide a few pointers for areas to consider when developing reusable modules. We'll also touch on CI / CD with Terraform and provide a couple of tips there too. We'll be diving down to level 400, but we'll try to explain the fundamentals as we go for those with less Terraform experience.

🧠 Rishi Ghose - Field Engineering Leader at Databricks will deliver a session, Driving Data and AI adoption at a Digital Native business.

Takeaways:
- Architectural approaches to scale data platforms for analytics and AI in fast-growing digital businesses
- The cultural and organisational shifts required to make data and AI central to every decision
