If you haven’t signed up for the conference by now, you
should really hurry up.
Have a look at the sessions we are about to present
during this year conference here in Europe:
I will have 4 sessions this year, covering a lot of
interesting stuff that I want to share with you.
On Monday, we will do a joint session together with
Savision (partner) and several industry experts, such as Robert, Thomas and
Kevin.
The session title
is “Are ITIL and System Center BFF?”
In the modern world
where organizations are facing new challenges to be more competitive, they are
looking for better ways to improve the quality and efficiency of their IT
Service delivery using ITIL framework. Gain valuable insights and best
practices on how you can adopt the ITIL framework to Microsoft System Center
and OMS from real world experiences together with Savision’s Jonas Lenntun, and
Microsoft MVPs Robert Hedblom, Kristian Nese, Kevin Greene and Thomas Maurer.
On Tuesday, I will
have the “Early Morning Discussion – Microsoft Azure Stack” together with
Thomas Maurer.
Bring all your questions and we will answer as much as we
can, while consuming some crazy amount of coffee during this hour.
I will also bring my laptop in case we have to show you
some live demos.
Immediately after
the morning discussion, me and Thomas will take you into the next generation of
infrastructure by introducing you to Nano Server.
In this session we
will walk you through how Nano Server is changing the fundamental way we look
at fabric servers and workloads. Nano Service will change the way we build
servers and solve fundamental challenges which we have encountered over the
past years embracing cloud fundamentals.
I can guarantee you a lot of breathtaking demos during
this session.
(Although the expected level of this session will be 200,
there will definitively be a lot of PowerShell code to cover, since Nano Server
is a headless x64 server without any local console).
On Wednesday, I
will go solo and talk about “Modern Application Modeling and Configuration for
Infrastructure Clouds”.
For more than two
decades, the way to manage applications on enterprise distributed systems has
followed consistent patterns, and has proven to be very effective. But new
paradigms have emerged and are changing how IT is delivering business value,
and how IT interacts with business units and end users. Among these new
paradigms are: cloud computing (including multi-tenancy and self-service),
DevOps, outsourcing, hosting, and more. These paradigms come with different
layers and assignments of responsibilities, that underlying technologies must
implement for the end-to-end process to remain efficient, scalable and
flexible. This session goes through these changes, explains how Microsfot
solutions are adapting to them, and summarizes the vision for modern
application management in infrastructure as a service (whether on-prem, or in
the public cloud or both).
This should be a very interesting session to follow,
where we will walk down the memorial lane and see where we eventually ends up
and how to deal with it.
Later on
Wednesday, I will do my last session – and I am really looking forward to this
one, as it is about a subject that is very close to my heart: “Deep-dive on
Azure Resource Manager”.
Join me to take the
shortcut on Azure Resource Manager (ARM). ARM will definitively have an impact
on your career, and probably has already. Once Azure Stack arrives on-prem, we
will have a true consistency through ARM that will change the way we are
modeling and delivering our services to the clouds. During this session, you
will learn how a template is constructed and how to create and deploy your
cloud resources.
Please note the following:
The ARM session is level 400 – and also a side session. That
means there will only be room for 15 persons.
After the session,
I really need to jump into a taxi and get to the airport.
I hope I’ll see you in Basel in a few days J
