Cloud storage management can be complex, with multiple tiers and considerations for performance and cost. With 6+ Azure Managed Disk tiers, teams often default to higher-cost options and hesitate to switch due to downtime concerns and limited usage insights. This can lead to inefficiencies at scale.

In this session, we’ll cover: • Common challenges in optimizing cloud storage • How Lucidity streamlines Azure Managed Disk tiering • A quick look at our new solution for smarter storage management

AI agents run on non-human identities: service principals, managed identities, tokens. If you can’t see them, you can’t govern them. Oasis gives Microsoft-native guardrails: discover every agent across Entra, Azure, M365, and GitHub; right-size roles; eliminate long-lived secrets; and automate lifecycle with owners, purpose, TTL, rotation, and evidence. Same developer speed, far less standing privilege.

With Eon on Azure, backups don’t just sit idle—they become a first-class data source.
