Azure needs a city map
We have been building Azure environments that scale in a structured way for years: with clean landing zones, automated provisioning, and a platform that considers security, operations, and compliance from the start. The result: an architecture where every workload has its place and nothing grows wild.
Eight sessions. Real architectures. Our best Azure architects live. Those who attend on April 16th at Microsoft in Munich will take away concrete blueprints: from landing zones to containers and data to emergency resilience with our Dark Tenant. Free of charge. Limited seats.
Agenda
09:30 – 10:00 Welcome & Intro |
10:00 – 10:45 Azure Foundation: Your Blueprint for the CloudA clean Landing Zone is the foundation on which everything else is built: Governance, Security, Scalability. We show how to create an architecture from the start that grows with you rather than holding you back. Tech Deep Dive: AI Landing ZoneIntegrating AI workloads in a structured, secure, and controllable way into your platform architecture. This is how you make the step from experiment to production. |
10:45 – 11:30 Azure Virtual Desktop: Standardization Instead of Legacy BurdenAway from fragmented Citrix and Terminal Server landscapes, towards an AVD architecture that combines stability, security, and lower operational costs. Tech Deep Dive: Golden Image fully automatedOperating AVD environments fully automated, versioned, and reproducible. No more manual image management. |
11:30 – 11:45 Coffee Break |
11:45 – 12:30 Dark Tenant: Back in Hours Instead of WeeksRansomware is not a theoretical risk. With the Dark Tenant, you have a tested emergency environment that restores your critical infrastructure in hours, not weeks. Tech Deep Dive: Infrastructure Snapshot as CodeYour complete Azure environment backed up as code, reproducibly documented, and structured for redeployment in an emergency. |
12:30 – 13:15 Azure Container Foundation: Kubernetes with StructureContainerization brings speed. So that it doesn't create new complexity, we show how AKS environments scale standardized, securely, and automatically. Tech Deep Dive: Application Gateway for ContainersModern ingress design that cleanly separates responsibilities and secures traffic management for scalable, production-grade AKS environments. |
13:15 – 14:00 Lunch Break |
14:00 – 14:45 Azure Data Foundation: Making Data UsableData is only valuable when it's structured and available. We show how to build a scalable Data Lakehouse and operate it cleanly. Tech Deep Dive: Data Ingestion & OrchestrationAutomated ingestion pipelines and resilient orchestration – from source to analytical use. |
14:45 – 15:30 VMware Exit: Clarity Before MigrationLicensing models change, platform strategies too. We show how a structured dependency analysis forms the basis for a clean, low-risk migration to Azure. Tech Deep Dive: Assessment & Dependency AnalysisSystematically assess workloads, dependencies, and risks. Transparency before you transform. |
15:30 – 15:45 Coffee Break |
15:45 – 16:30 GitOps & Platform Operations: Operations That ScaleReproducible, secure, efficient: We show how Infrastructure as Code and CI/CD models take your Azure operations to the next level. Tech Deep Dive: Secure CI/CD with GitHubHosted Runners with vNet integration, PIM-supported governance – secure automation for development and operations. |
16:30 – 17:15 Microsoft Azure Vision & RoadmapStrategic outlook on the further development of the Azure platform with context on what will be relevant for your architecture. |
17:15 – 17:30 Closing |
Who you'll meet
Reading eight sessions is good.
Spending a day asking the right questions is better.
