Cloud Native by Design
The “cloud” has been available to developers for over a decade with exciting services that really boost your applications to the next level. Why is it that the majority of applications running on these cloud platforms are still built as though it’s 1990’s with complex infrastructures? Today there’s no longer a need to build tightly integrated applications.
In this talk I will discuss 15 years of cloud development showing examples of old-fashioned application architectures that are still being produced today. To counter these examples I will also show you how easy it is today to build applications cloud-native so they are outperforming the competition, are easily maintainable and are resilient against failures.
The goal of this talk is to have you rethink the way you develop for the cloud and how you can adopt my approaches in your own architectures.

Zero Credential Development with Managed Identities for Azure Resources
Keys are always needed to access services in Azure and beyond. Storing and managing keys presents many problems, for example rotating and disabling them. Keys often also allow blanket access to the service with no way to limit it. Sometimes there is only one key that needs to be shared by services, so you won’t have any way to disable access from one individually.
In this talk we will go through Managed Identities for Azure Resources, how they work, and how you can use them to use Azure services in a secure way without having to manage any keys yourself. We will go through a demo application which uses various Azure services through a managed identity, removing the need to use keys entirely.
The source code will be available to the audience so they have samples that they can use to implement managed identities in their own applications.
