The keynote was on Serverless and Event-Driven functions for Kubernetes and beyond. The last session before lunch was conducted by Jeff Hollan, a Principal PM Manager for Microsoft Azure Functions.

Some of the sub-themes were continuous integration with GitHub Actions, Access Control in Kubernetes, and Gatekeeper for Kubernetes. This session focussed on continuous delivery with Kubernetes. Brendan is a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft.
#Microsoft leap software#
Azure Kebernetes Services will help you handle all the hard parts and give room a better future.Īfter the coffee break, we were back for the next session conducted by Brendan Burns on Securing software from end-to-end using Kubernetes and Azure. It’s a vanguard in the future of app development and management and it can help you ship faster, operate easily and scale confidently. Microsoft containers will keep getting better with continuous innovation. It’s adoption is even growing steadily and there is room for more improvement.
#Microsoft leap windows#
There seems to to be a light at the end of the tunnel as there have been numerous good reviews about the Windows Container. Their presentation showed that a lot of on-premise workload is done on windows about 72%. This keynote was on the topic of Windows Containers on AKS and it detailed the process of converting a legacy application into a cloud application and hosting it on a Windows container on an Azure Kubernetes service. The opening session was followed by another join session by Muzzammil Imam and Craig Wilhite who hold the positions of Senior PM and PM respectively. The program is fully managed by Azure, so that you can focus on applications. It’s benefits include encapsulating application code, offering discretionary runtime overlays, discretionary application boundaries and defines application instances. Users can trust it’s quality because it was built by the largest teams at Microsoft and Ali Baba. According to him, the OAM was a platform agnostic specification to help define cloud native applications. Sudhanva Huruli’s speech on OAM was intriguing and revealing. It offers the benefits of enjoying stateful microservice in any language. Microsoft is already onboard to tap into benefits which it offers. Dapr would allow the building of apps using any language on any framework.

It was a designed as a solution to tackle the problems of microservice development. Then, Mark spoke about the reason behind the creation of Dapr. He also stated that developers write each application to interact with different services. Mark Fussell started by describing the topology of applications which many users utilised. The open application model was discussed in detail and the focus was on separating operational needs from development concerns. Both of them work on the Azure Service Fabric platform. Mark has been with Microsoft for nearly 2 decades and is now a Principal PM Lead. Mark Fussell and Sudhanva Huruli co-hosted the opening keynote on the topic Open Application Model (OAM) and Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr).

By now, you know the drill, check out my notes on Day 2 here. It was a day packed with many interesting keynotes regarding improving the availability and recoverability of Azure applications. Day 3 of Microsoft LEAP was just completed.
