Conference Keynote: Management as a Service - demystified
The landscape of how IT is delivering business value, has been greatly influenced by the emerging paradigms, such as cloud computing, DevOps, outsourcing, hosting and more. Coming from a consistent pattern for managing applications on enterprise distributed system, and moving into a more cloud native management approach using Management as a Service, doesn’t only change the landscape of IT operations in general, but also introduces us to an ocean of opportunities. During this keynote, Kristian Nese, part of Azure engineering, will run through heavy-hitting demos to show the significant changes in IT operations for public cloud management, and the latest innovations in the platform and the management services. Come open minded, prepare to be inspired, as we’ll unveil how Azure helps you to keep the lights on, remain efficient, scalable, secure, and flexible.

This is what you hear everywhere nowadays but what is DevOps and how is it helping me or my company? DevOps can be many things and everyone has a slightly different take on it. In my session, I will not only share my view on DevOps in general but mainly focus on best practices and mistakes often seen in todays IT departments. Many of the patterns and anti-patterns I discuss are well known in the world of software development but mostly not well known for engineers in operations. You will leave this sessions with some insights of common mistakes and best practices. This session is more about people and culture than about code.

Microservices in practice: Design, platforms, tools and code
Microservice architecture decomposes monolithic applications into discrete, atomic, full-stack service silos. Its patterns and principles take over where Service-Oriented Architecture left off, by including recent advances in containerization and DevOps culture. In fact, embracing Microservice architecture forces you into better practices related to design and operations, including Domain-Driven Design, single responsibility pattern, Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) and Event Sourcing (ES). This session begins with a journey through the evolution of Microservices principles and patterns, followed by design discussions of real applications and visual topologies, and by a deep dive into platforms and tools. You will learn the process of design, development, deployment, upgrade, scale and operations for Microservices platforms and Container-based solutions on the Microsoft Azure Cloud.

Are you Afraid of Configuration Manager’s Power?
If you are, then you may not have invested into implementing the role-based administration feature of Configuration Manager. And if you haven’t, then you are likely taking on too many responsibilities dealing with Configuration Manager yourself. With proper implementation of role-based administration, you can safely delegate others with the use of the Configuration Manager Console, spreading the load of using the features of Configuration Manager throughout your IT organization.

Azure Automation and OMS: Better Together
Many users have looked at Azure Automation as almost isolated Azure service and wanted better integration with OMS. They wanted Automation runbooks to become a part of OMS solutions, and better logging within Log Analytics for Automation tasks. The days of waiting are over. We can know get OMS solutions created by Microsoft based on Automation runbooks and DSC configurations (or we can create our own, custom solutions). With announced support for Bash and Python runbooks, it's very clear that the position of Azure Automation has changed and it's now a foundational capability required to deliver end to end management across hybrid clouds running Windows Server and Linux.

Fraud detection is one of the earliest industrial applications of data mining and machine learning. As part of the Azure Machine Learning offering, Microsoft provides a template that helps data scientists easily build and deploy an online transaction fraud detection solution. The template includes a collection of pre-configured machine learning modules, as well as custom R scripts, to enable an end-to-end solution. This session presents best practices, design guidelines and a working implementation for building an online payment fraud detection mechanism in a SharePoint portal connected to a credit card payment gateway. The full source code of the solution is released as open source.

Azure Managed Applications - the what, why & how
Today, Azure provides a robust Marketplace where ISVs and start ups can offer their solutions to customers around the world. Azure Marketplace is a gallery that consists of hundreds of complex, multi-resource templates from first and third-party vendors. Customers can within minutes deploy and start using PaaS and SaaS applications. Although it provides a great way to quickly deploy an offering, the customer is still responsible for maintaining and updating the solution. For vendors, there is no way to charge customers for use of an application beyond the virtual machine image billing. Furthermore, vendors have no way of preventing customers from modifying critical application resources, and no way to block access to intellectual property that makes up an application. Azure Managed Applications provides a solution for these concerns. Join this session to learn about Azure Managed Applications, what it is, why we did it, and how you can create a managed application, for your Service Catalog & Azure Marketplace

OSD Frontends
OSD Frontends provide interaction at OS deployment time soliciting input from users, providing feedback to users, or performing other activities that built-in tasks cannot handle (or at least cannot handle well). User input include whatever is needed for the OS deployment to successfully complete and that cannot be automatically determined. Examples include things like time zone, computer name, Active Directory OU, and software. Frontends can also provide pre-flight checks, provide feedback to the interactive user, and basically anything that is needed. This session will cover all the aspects of getting started and using an OSD frontend in your OS deployment efforts and task sequences.

Mastering Azure Active Directory v2
Azure AD has been around for many years, for most users it started with a Office 365 or Azure subscription, and managed in the Classic Azure Management Portal. In the fall 2016, Azure AD was announced as Public Preview in the new Azure Portal (Ibiza), and are expected GA now in 2017. The old Classic Portal will be discontinued. Many new services are now only available in the new Azure AD portal, and new management scenarios bring identities and devices together, like the new Conditional Access, and the upcoming integration of Intune and Azure AD, and many more will come. In this session your Azure AD knowledge will be upgraded to Azure AD v2 and you will learn all about how to master your Azure Active Directory in the new portal, and how you get started with the Azure AD v2 PowerShell Module replacement for the old MSOL Module.
