AI is reshaping NetOps from scripted automation to intelligent, data driven workflows. We will show uses: incident triage, knowledge retrieval, traffic analysis, prediction, and contrast legacy monitoring with ML, NLP, and LLMs. See how RAG, text to SQL, and agent workflows enable real time insights across hybrid data. We will outline data pipelines and MLOps, address accuracy, reliability, cost, compliance, and weigh build vs buy. We will cover API integration and human in the loop guardrails.

Join us for a hands-on workshop showcasing the latest Azure SQL innovations to supercharge your applications. Learn how to harness generative AI alongside Azure SQL Database to elevate your data strategies with AI concepts like language models, prompt engineering, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and streamline with Microsoft Copilot. Whether you're a developer, architect, or IT professional, this workshop is your ticket to mastering SQL and AI to stay ahead in the data-driven landscape.

JoinMicrosoft’s product team for a hands-on lab where you'll design and deploy anAI-powered application using SQL Database in Microsoft Fabric. This sessiondives into HTAP capabilities, enabling seamless transactional and analyticalprocessing. You'll provision a SaaS-native SQL Database, use Copilot togenerate schema and queries, and implement advanced patterns like RAG withvector search. Walk away with practical skills and a working solution you canapply immediately.

With Eon on Azure, backups don’t just sit idle—they become a first-class data source. Eon transforms cloud backups into Iceberg tables in Blob Storage, instantly queryable through Microsoft Fabric and OneLake. Learn how backup data flows into Fabric engines like SQL, Spark, and KQL, and how it fuels AI innovation with Azure OpenAI. See how organizations can collaborate more effectively by unifying protection, analytics, and AI on Eon’s data lake.

Unlock the next level of performance and scalability with Azure Databases—engineered for speed, reliability, and seamless integration across your stack. At Ignite, Shireesh Thota, CVP of Azure Databases, will unveil breakthrough features and releases for Azure Databases, SQL Server 2025, and Fabric Databases for SQL and Cosmos DB. Get an inside look at how these advancements empower you to build and deploy cutting-edge applications and AI agents—faster, smarter, and at enterprise scale.

AI applications demand real-time, high-fidelity data at massive scale. Traditional databases can’t keep up. Join us to learn how TiDB Cloud on Azure, a distributed SQL database built for both transactions and analytics, integrates seamlessly with Fabric to unlock new possibilities for AI and agentic workloads. Whether you’re a developer, data architect, or IT leader, you’ll leave with a clear view of how to build intelligent, data-driven applications on Azure that scale with your ambitions.
