Code, Cloud, Clarity — Powered by AI


Check out the JAVA sessions at Microsoft Ignite 2018 this week in Orlando, Florida!

I’m at SpringOne Platform until Wednesday, (If you’re here, check out my talk 0on Tuesday @ 5:40 pm — 6:10 pm, Woodrow Wilson B-D — Beyond Windows — Hacking Cloud Apps on Linux and .NET for the Busy Java Developer with Maxime Rouiller).

After taking in Bruno Borges’ main stage keynote @ 10AM Wednesday, I’ll be flying to Orlando for Microsoft Ignite.

This year I’m pleased to announce that we will have several Java talks at Ignite, a major Microsoft conference. This is a trend that I expect will continue now that we have a growing Java Cloud Developer Advocate team!

Check the MyIgnite site (attendee login required) or the Ignite app for session days, times and locations.

HACK001 — OpenHack @ Ignite — Serverless Applications

(Visit the OpenHack tabe in the tools area of the expo hall for signup)

Are you serious about learning Serverless? OpenHack is a 1.5 day, challenge-based coding activity that will build your Azure Serverless skills. Work with a small team and a Microsoft coach to implement a given scenario through structured, hands-on hacking to solve real-world scenarios. Hack on increasingly difficult challenges designed to leave you with the skills and expertise needed to deploy your solution. This activity has limited capacity and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visit the OpenHack table in the Tools area of the Expo Hall during Expo hours on Mon Sept. 24-Wed Sept. 26th to reserve your spot. Basic experience with programming languages like C#, JavaScript, Node.JS or Java required.

BRK3207 — Build cloud-native applications using Java and open source tools

Join us to learn how to build cloud-native apps using Java and open source tools that are not traditionally associated with Microsoft. We focus on a few case studies that provide secure, robust, and scalable solutions, and explore special considerations for these types of applications. By the end of the session, you should have a good overview of what a powerful non-Microsoft cloud architecture needs to function, and how that architecture can be adapted for most common app scenarios.

BRK3343 — Java and MicroProfile on Azure: Building microservices in style

This session dives into the steps required to design, build, deploy, and orchestrate a cloud native microservice architecture using Java and Eclipse MicroProfile. We use Red Hat’s MicroProfile implementation known as Thorntail, optimized for deployment to OpenShift and integrated with Azure services. Hear from Microsoft and Red Hat experts how adopting Cloud Native open source projects and open standards, while making use of tools, APIs, and Java specifications that developers are already familiar with, can allow you to achieve superior productivity. This session includes an overview of MicroProfile and demonstrations of how to put it into practice in the cloud.

BRK3353 — Building Java responsive event-driven systems with serverless

Speed is what matters in software. But it is not about going fast just for the sake of it. It’s about learning quickly and delivering insights and capabilities that move you forward. How does event processing make this possible? What role does serverless technology play? In this session, we look at event-driven architectures, and how to realize it with a Java-centric solution. We show how using multiple components, including Spring Boot, Event Hubs, Azure Cosmos DB, App Service, Functions, and Spring Cloud Function. If you are searching for the knowledge to deliver modern and responsive systems, this is your session!

BRK2388 — Build resilient microservices with .NET Core and Java on Azure Service Fabric

Learn how to build and deploy resilient containers and microservices at scale with .NET Core and Java on Azure Service Fabric. We walk you through development tools (Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Eclipse) and debugging, CICD integration, diagnostics and monitoring in production with ELK and Log Analytics. We also share tips and techniques for creating and managing your microservices on Azure Service Fabric.

THR3103 — Azure DevOps using Jenkins, Terraform and Ansible

Made for those developing in Java, Node.js, Go, .NET or any other language, this session starts with a tour of Azure integrations with Jenkins, Terraform, and Ansible. We show how to use Jenkins for continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD) along with Terraform for provisioning and Ansible for configuration management in a toolchain targeting Kubernetes or Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS). We also cover DevOps best practices including infrastructure as code, zero downtime deployment, immutable infrastructure, among others.

See you later this week!
