Session Abstract

A quick search for "Azure Best Practices" will send you down quite the rabbit hole. An interesting one but still a rabbit hole. From Design pattern, security best practices, the Well Architected Framework and The Cloud Adoption Framework. All have something to say regarding best practices. Looking to optimize your Azure estate or even getting started in the first place can be quite overwhelming if you look into any sort of framework and best practices. You may have an existing solution that you want to run using any technology on Azure. We need to take into account that existing solution, financial capabilities, time constraints and development requirements. We can't just put everything on hold because we are moving to the cloud can we? During this session we will look at implementing the best possible practices, decision making and planning your cloud future on Azure. We will do so by production like use case and a fictional company.
