It's always DNS, … even when it's not DNS

Tuesday September 17, 2024 09:20 - 10:20 CEST

Deuxième

We're all familiar with DNS, the Domain Name System, which seamlessly connects domain names to their corresponding IP addresses, making it a vital component of the Internet. Next to that, it also plays a significant role in functions like email delivery, ensuring security, and optimizing network efficiency. However, in the complex landscape of hybrid or cloud-only environments, any DNS error can lead to downtime or inaccessible resources.

That’s why in this session, Micha and Wim will look into various DNS-related services and configurations essential for the smooth operation of your Azure environment, including your Virtual Desktop environment ➡️ Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365 and/or Azure DevBox.

Join them as they dive into not just Azure DNS, Azure IaaS DNS servers, and Azure Private DNS but also how to effectively troubleshoot any Azure DNS-related issues. Let's also switch things up and have DNS play a role in resolving an issue. Next to that, learn how to seamlessly integrate DNS with services such as Azure Private Endpoints and other PaaS offerings, as well as how to make DNS function flawlessly in your hybrid environment.

Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365

Tuesday September 17, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Clubraum 1

Terraform is widely recognized as the dominant language for professional cloud configuration. It has become an essential tool for Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes projects, offering numerous advantages such as a readable declaration language, reliable state tracking for changes, robust auditing of all modifications through git, and automatic documentation of infrastructure.

Until now, Terraform has primarily focused on configuring cloud infrastructures and provided limited support for Entra ID. However, we are introducing a groundbreaking development: the Terraform Provider for Microsoft 365. This session provides an overview of this provider, which in it's first incarnation enables the configuration of almost all aspects of Intune. With support for Autopilot, Conditional Access, Configuration Profiles with Settings Catalog, Compliance Policies, and more, it opens up entirely new possibilities for Enterprise or MSP Tenant Management through Terraform.

Zero Trust - Dope or Nope?

Wednesday September 18, 2024 10:40 - 11:40 CEST

Auditorium

Zero Trust must be the worst name in the history of Security. But is it just a bad name? Does it really offer worthwhile goals or is it an overkill? I hear sales pitches for it, like for many other security solutions, that concentrate on "What we can't allow anymore because of changed security landscape" all the time. Why does security have to be so negative? A well done Zero Trust environment gives you "the ability to work as efficiently and securely, whether you are sitting in Starbucks or the corporate office" - Which I believe most of us want. Come and listen to this talk about rights and wrongs of how to achieve Zero Trust and how keep Security as what it's meant to be - a support function for a happy workforce.

Microsoft Dev Box - Make The Devs AND Security Teams happy

Thursday September 19, 2024 15:20 - 16:20 CEST

Clubraum 1

Meet Dave, the Dev. Dave has been using a powerful laptop to run VMs on so he can do his work. Now Security Steve has told him they're no longer putting up with his 'against policy' methods and he needs to use VDI like everyone else. On the same host with everyone else... Dave is now complaining about slow performance, not having the tools he needs, and having only 1 session at the time. Poor Dave :(

There's a way to make both Dave and Steve happy! Introducing Microsoft Dev Box! We will discuss how this compares to other options, including Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD), and why it is the better choice for organizations looking to provide their developers with a secured, self-service platform.
