Think Azure Monitor is just a bunch of boring charts? Think again! In this session, we’ll cover the best tips and tricks to turn you into a monitoring ninja. From catching sneaky issues before they become disasters to building dashboards that make you look like a data wizard, you’ll leave with practical tools and a smile. Say goodbye to monitoring headaches and hello to peace of mind!

Azure Networking has rapidly evolved, making effective design essential for supporting modern workloads. As networking becomes integral to both cloud-native and hybrid environments, a well-architected approach is critical to ensure connectivity, security, and performance across your Azure infrastructure. In this session, we’ll explore core principles of Azure network design, focusing on secure connectivity with Virtual WAN, centralized management with Azure Virtual Network Manager, and enhanced protection using Azure Firewall. Gain insights into building a resilient and scalable network architecture that enhances operational efficiency and security for any workload. Join us to learn best practices for creating a network foundation that supports your applications both today and in the future.

Let’s talk about how to mess up a cloud workload—so you don’t have to. In this session, we’ll look at real mistakes, silly shortcuts, and “what were they thinking?” moments from the cloud world. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and you’ll leave knowing what not to do.

Azure networking looks simple until it reaches production scale. In this session, we explore real-world Azure network architecture patterns and demonstrate how they perform under real-world routing and security constraints. During a live demo, we’ll walk through hub-and-spoke designs, traffic inspection, and routing decisions, highlighting common pitfalls that surface only after go-live. You’ll learn which patterns consistently work in production, which fail quietly, and how to design Azure networks that remain scalable and operable.

Most Azure environments are designed for the first project, not the fifteenth site. By the time you are managing fifty locations across multiple continents, the early decisions you made (account structure, naming, network topology, governance) are either holding the environment together or quietly working against you. This session is a blueprint from the field. Drawing on years of experience managing small- to large-scale Azure environments, we will work through five architectural pillars that determine whether a global infrastructure is manageable or miserable: an account structure that scales, networking that does not become a bottleneck, automation that removes humans from the critical path, resilience that survives the incident you did not plan for, and governance that holds up under real audit conditions; not just on paper.
