Session 1:
Speaker: Wesley Camargo
Title: Your Azure Is Wrong And I Can Prove It

Many Azure environments are functioning, but that doesn’t mean they are designed to scale, stay secure, or meet enterprise requirements. Short-term decisions like using Resource Groups as environments, relying on a single subscription, manual scaling, and adding governance only when problems appear often lead to fragile platforms that break under growth.

In this session, we uncover the most common Azure architectural anti-patterns and explain how the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) provides a practical path from “it works” to Enterprise Ready. The focus is on the Ready, Govern, and Manage phases, where platform foundations are defined and long-term success is determined.
You’ll get a clear overview of key CAF design areas, based on real production environments, not theory:
• Identity and access
• Networking
• Governance and security
• Monitoring
• Automation
• Cost management

Session 2:
Speaker: Jacco Rademaker
Title: The long running battle between Azure DevOps and GitHub: finally peace?

Are you currently working with Azure DevOps, but also have an eye on GitHub for its AI features? Do you need the functionalities Azure Boards offers and would you also like to use with AI agents? Or has your organization heavily invested in Azure Pipelines, which you do not want to rebuild using GitHub Actions? And when you would move your repositories, will you still have your pull request history?

You do not have to go all-in with GitHub and leave Azure DevOps behind. Why choose, when you can combine them!

You'll learn how to connect Azure DevOps to GitHub, what features this will open up for you and what your workflow can look like.

This session will help you decide on how to move forward with your team or your whole organization!
