For decades, running applications meant buying servers, managing data centers, and handling everything yourself. Then the cloud changed everything. But with so many services and concepts, where do you even start? This session takes you on a guided journey through the evolution of application deployment. We'll start by understanding what we left behind with on-premises infrastructure and why organizations are moving to the cloud. Then we'll explore Azure as a platform and understand its foundational building blocks. From there, we'll dive into containerization, the technology that revolutionized how we package and ship applications. Finally, we'll bring it all together with Azure Container Apps, a powerful yet simple service for running your containerized applications in production. By the end of this session, you'll understand: *Why cloud computing replaced traditional infrastructure. *How Azure organizes resources and subscriptions. *What containers are and why they matter. *How to deploy a containerized application to Azure Container Apps. This talk includes a live demo where we'll deploy a real application to the cloud. Perfect for developers, students, and IT professionals.
If you want to build a strong, modern understanding of AI systems without drowning in every buzzword than there are latest trends that matter most. These are the ones that show up in real products, enterprise systems, and cutting-edge research. Exploring what they are, why they matter, and how they’re transforming real‑world applications. Think of these as the “AI fundamentals for 2026+.”
Everyone knows ChatGPT, but how do you build an AI that can execute tasks? In this session we will demystifies the Agentic AI.
While cloud providers guarantee the security, availability, and reliability of their infrastructure through strong service level agreements, customers remain responsible for securing access to their own environments. This session introduces the Zero Trust methodology and explains how Microsoft solutions help verify identities and monitor access before users can reach Azure resources. You will discover how tools such as Entra ID Conditional Access, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), FIDO2 passwordless authentication, Privileged Identity Management (PIM), and Microsoft Defender for Cloud work together to prevent unauthorized access and continuously assess the security posture of your environment.
Cette session présente comment Microsoft Fabric, en synergie avec Power BI, permet de construire une plateforme analytique unifiée de bout en bout. Les participants découvriront une approche moderne allant de l’ingestion des données à la visualisation interactive, avec un focus sur la simplification des architectures BI, la performance et la prise de décision rapide grâce à des cas concrets.
Throughout the session, learners will explore storage services integral to the Azure Administrator role, focusing on key storage technologies such as Azure Storage Accounts, Blob storage, and Azure Files. Attendees will develop the confidence to manage scalable, secure, and resilient cloud storage. By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to: ✔ Configure and manage Azure storage accounts ✔ Apply robust storage security controls, such as Shared Access Signatures (SAS) and access policies. ✔ Deploy and manage Azure Files for cloud file share scenarios. This workshop is ideal for Azure Administrators, cloud engineers, and IT professionals who want hands-on experience with Azure storage services and are preparing for the AZ-104 certification or real-world Azure administration tasks.
Innovate with Azure AI Apps & Agents
Dans un contexte où la rapidité et la fiabilité des déploiements sont essentielles, les pratiques DevOps sont devenues incontournables pour les équipes de développement. Lors de cette session, nous verrons comment déployer efficacement une application moderne sur Microsoft Azure en utilisant Azure DevOps. À travers une démonstration concrète, vous découvrirez : Comment mettre en place un pipeline CI/CD de bout en bout Comment déployer une application existante sur Azure Quelles sont les bonnes pratiques utilisées en environnement professionnel
WHAT Voice is the most natural interface—and now, with Azure AI Foundry and the Realtime API, you can bring it to life. In this hands-on, full-day workshop, participants will learn how to design, build, and deploy intelligent voice agents capable of holding fluid, multi-turn conversations in real time. We’ll cover the full lifecycle: from concept and design principles for conversational voice UX to implementation using Foundry’s speech recognition, synthesis, and custom language models. Participants will see how these technologies come together to deliver seamless, human-like interactions. WHY Real-time voice agents are transforming industries—from customer support and virtual assistants to accessibility tools and immersive applications. Yet, many teams struggle to combine speech processing, latency management, and conversational AI into one cohesive solution. This workshop bridges that gap, showing how Azure AI Foundry’s unified platform and Realtime API make it practical to build scalable, low-latency, production-grade voice solutions that feel natural and intelligent. HOW This is a hands-on, lab-driven workshop where attendees will follow guided exercises and live demos to: -Set up a Realtime API connection for voice input/output -Stream audio data and handle live responses -Integrate Azure OpenAI, Speech Services, and custom models from Foundry -Tune latency and accuracy for natural conversation flow - Deploy and scale the solution for real-world use Participants should bring their own laptops; sample code and configuration templates will be provided. Takeaways By the end of this workshop, attendees will be able to: -Design and implement real-time voice agents using Azure AI Foundry and the Realtime API -Stream audio to and from conversational AI models in real time -Combine speech recognition, synthesis, and reasoning into one agent -Apply best practices for latency, quality, and scalability - Build a working prototype of a voice-powered assistant by day’s end
Exploring the core concepts of Azure AI Foundry and Azure AI provides essential insights into the capabilities of Azure within Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This session demonstrates how to leverage large language models (LLMs), guiding participants through practical applications and best practices. By engaging with these tools and services, attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of how AI and ML integrate within Azure's ecosystem, illustrating the broader landscape of Microsoft's intelligent cloud solutions.
n the era of Generative AI, applications will be built as systems of collaborating agents highly autonomous, yet supervised by humans. In this session, we’ll explore what it means to build AI-first applications using Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) on Microsoft Azure and the Microsoft Agent Framework. We’ll walk through practical architectures that include Azure AI Foundry and event-driven workflows directly into your apps without having to manage infrastructure. You'll see how to combine services like Azure App Service, Azure Functions, Cosmos DB, and AI Foundry to deliver scalable, intelligent experiences at speed. If you are interested in building the systems of the future, this session will give you a solid blueprint to go from PaaS to the future with AI at the core.
Overview of the Power Platform Ecosystem in AZURE
This session is designed for business users, developers, and administrators, including PowerApps, SharePoint and azure developers.
