Azure provides numerous opportunities for organizations to innovate by providing a platform where teams can quickly build applications using native cloud services. This approach also comes with some drawbacks. Usually, because of a lack of knowledge, some teams don't use native services and features to improve the security of their applications. In this demo-depend session, we will check all the major security features like RBAC / Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) for authentication and authorization, Key Vault, Managed Identities, and app configurations. We will also cover some security best practices for networking and services like App Services, Storage Accounts, and CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and GitHub. Get ready for a security upgrade!

Every day, more and more organizations understand the benefits of PaaS and are building and moving workloads to PaaS services like Azure App Services. In this demo-depend session, we will check how to run HTTP-based applications in Azure App Service. We start with a repo in Azure DevOps or GitHub and use Pipelines or Actions to deploy both the app and the infrastructure to Azure. Then, we will explore other features like custom domains, certificates, configurations, scaling, and how to distribute the app around multiple Azure regions. This is not the end. There is still time to demo how to integrate our application with Azure Key Vault using Azure AD Managed Identities to improve security. Few slides / most demos, so be sure to be ready to have your mind blown! 🤯
