Azure Thursday – February 2021

Our Azure Thursday meetup was a huge success again! This time, we had the following speakers and sessions:

Rory Preddy | Programming for Accessibility

Building accessibility into the planning stages of programming can eliminate barriers to participation and create an inclusive environment for people with disabilities. Programming for diversity serves as an unquestionable indicator that your software embraces the diversity of your users and cares about their safety and comfort.

Andre van den Berg | Blogging with Markdown and Azure DevOps

Explaining the basics of markdown, and then show how you can build a static site with Hugo generated from the markdown files. Then will show how to automate this with Azure DevOps. So first we put the markdown files on a Azure Repo so we can have version control. Then we build a Build pipeline in Azure DevOps to generate the Artifact that we can use in the Release pipeline to Publish the static generated website on Azure Webapps when there is a commit on the master of the Repo.

Esther Barthel & Freek Berson | Empowering ARM and JSON with Project ‘Bicep’

70% of all declarative resources created in Azure are done via ARM Templates! ARM Templates are based on JSON and a declarative syntax, but how easy is it to author these? Join Esther and Freek for a fun and demo-heavy session and learn how to empower your ARM Templates with Project ‘Bicep’!

Azure Thursday – January 2021

Yesterday we had a very interesting Azure Thursday meetup again. We had the following speakers and sessions:

Scott Hanselman | Part II: Moving a 17 year old legacy blog platform to the cloud

Scott’s blog is super old. The tech is super old. Scott is super old. What happens when he tries to move the whole Hanselman online mess to Azure? Let’s talk to him and find out.

This is part II in this saga we started last July. Scott will tell us how he succeeded and everyone knows the part II in the saga is even better than the first one.

Martijn Beenker – The enterprise data lake: monitoring at scale

When data lakes grow, they grow in size, complexity and inhabitants – creating complex dependencies across wide ranges of Azure services and different teams. Creating a true operations challenge: how do you find and respond to incidents, and who should respond?

During this session, we’ll look at how to monitor across the boundaries of Azure services and development teams that together make the ecosystem of the data lake. Aided by the Four Golden Signals and Azure Monitor capabilities we’ll create the blueprint for effective monitoring and incident handling. No matter how big the lake.

Menaka Baskerpillai | All about Azure Network Securities

In this session Menaka is going to explain how to implement network security in Azure. Networking security plays an important role in Todays world. Implementing security via cloud services provider plays a vital role.
