Microsoft Azure Virtual Training Day: Cloud-Native Apps

Microsoft Experts' Hours

Throughout the years, we've seen how technology has disrupted military, police, defense and intelligence operations and brought about new hybrid warfare strategies. Events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have also exposed deeper vulnerabilities in supply chains, which have already been fractured by global geopolitics over the years. New trends continue to emerge and evolve during recent conflicts. There are valuable lessons and insights into the use of digital and dual use technologies such as the use of social media in the information campaign, and hybrid warfare executed through commercial drone and space technologies. Defense agencies and the industry will have to grapple with the implications of such development. This event will examine how digital and dual-use technologies have reshaped the nature of combat, discuss how tointegrate cross domain capabilities and pursue digital superiority, and examine how government organizations andindustries are organizing themselves for these new paradigms.

​​Microsoft Azure Innovation Forum: Drive application innovation at scale with cloud-native architectures ​

We are living in a future defined by accelerated innovation. Much of this innovation will be digital and will take the form of new applications. Cloud-native technology is how developers can achieve the agility, reliability, and security demanded by the next generation of applications.  When we talk about cloud-native, we are referring to technologies and development patterns that empower organisations to build and run scalable applications quickly. The speed and agility of cloud-native is made possible by some foundational pillars. Modern architectures like microservices or composite applications deployed in containers, using an API-first approach for your apps, infrastructure and data. All the while it takes advantage of DevOps and automation on infrastructure that you can count on to be elastic.   Azure Kubernetes Service brings all these together, making it easier to deploy and manage cloud-native applications, leading to some great business outcomes and savings for our customers. For example, you may have enjoyed playing the game Forza Horizon, but you probably didn't know that the Forza team and AKS flawlessly handled 10 million concurrent players at launch, the biggest first week in Xbox Game Studios history.   Join our forward-thinking business leaders to explore the strategy, technology, and culture of innovation in our new digital event series. By now, most people have heard of Kubernetes and many are starting to explore and implement strategies built around container technologies. In our fourth episode, you can hear from ASOS who will cover how they do Kubernetes at Scale.   One of the key challenges we hear from our customers is around selecting the right tool for hosting your applications. Mark Whitby, Microsoft GBB, will address this challenge, while ensuring that your decisions are based on knowledge and these services can interoperate with the rest of your application estate. Mark will also spotlight some of our products and their new features and nuances.  If you are interested to watch our previous episodes of the Azure Innovation Forum, click here.    Please note this event will be at 10:00 AM local time (BST)
