Join this hands-on lab to learn about Azure Arc for on-prem and multicloud management. In this lab, you will learn how to project and manage resources in Azure - connect on-premises resources and use cloud connector for AWS resources, enforce security policies, and enable monitoring. Whether you’re modernizing existing systems or building new edge capabilities, you’ll gain practical experience to extend Azure’s power everywhere.

As manufacturers and supply chain leaders navigate the dual pressures of operational efficiency and sustainability, geospatial intelligence (GSI) is emerging as a transformative force. This lab session explores how the integration of Earth observation data, AI, and cloud-scale analytics is enabling smarter, faster, and greener decision-making across industrial ecosystems.

This lab offers a hands-on deep dive into Microsoft Defender for Cloud’s CSPM features, teaching participants how to assess and improve cloud security across hybrid environments. Attendees will identify misconfigurations, apply compliance frameworks, and automate remediation strategies to strengthen their security posture.

Attendees will learn to enable Defender for Cloud, navigate its dashboard, and interpret regulatory compliance and workload protection insights. The labs also cover secure score analysis, security recommendations, inventory management, pricing models, and governance rule assignment. By the end of the series, participants will be equipped to proactively identify and mitigate threats, strengthen cloud security posture, and align with organizational governance standards.

Optimize capacity allocation, workload performance, and cost of running applications with the help of AI.

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

In this hands-on lab, you'll explore the power of Kubernetes and learn how to orchestrate cloud applications with ease. Using Google Kubernetes Engine, you’ll provision a fully managed Kubernetes cluster and deploy Docker containers using kubectl. Break down a monolithic application into microservices using Kubernetes Deployments and Services, and gain insights into the latest innovations in resource efficiency, developer productivity, and automated operations. By the end, you'll be ready to streamline application management in any environment.
