Azure Arc extends the use of Azure Services beyond the Azure cloud. With Azure Arc you are able to deploy and monitor Azure services in your own datacentres or other cloud providers. This event will focus on Azure Application Services and how they can be deployed outside of Azure through Kubernetes with Azure Arc.

Did you know that static content can help you build performant sites that easily scale globally? Better yet, they can be incredibly cost-effective! Join Chris, as he talks through - * The JAMstack (not related to Paddington bear - I promise!) and why you should care about it * Static Site Generators such as Hugo * Azure Hosting Options - Azure Storage vs Azure Static Web Apps * Combining Static sites with Serverless APIs

Migrating a legacy .NET application to Azure is rarely as simple as "lift and shift." Jonah Andersson — Microsoft MVP for Azure — shares candid lessons from a real-world cloud migration that became a cautionary tale, not because of Azure, but due to unresolved technical debt, database complexity, and organisational readiness gaps. Discover the critical questions every team should answer before committing to the cloud, and what Jonah would do differently today.

In this post, I show how I use GitHub Actions to call an Azure Function (through Azure API Management) that interacts with Google Analytics as part of the process to build my Hugo Static Site. The end result is that top posts are pulled into the Static Site Generation build process, rather than calling the Google Analytics API through JavaScript at runtime.

Chris is the blogger, podcaster, host, and producer of his content platform CloudWithChris.com. He uses GitHub to manage, develop, build and deploy it. In this session, Chris explores how GitHub is more than just a Git repository, and how he uses it for his own work: - GitHub Issues / Projects to plan the content (Blog & Podcast) backlog - GitHub repositories to version control the website's source code (and recently open sourced the theme) - GitHub Codespaces to make changes to the site from any device - GitHub actions to build/deploy the site, and publish podcast mp3 files

Chris and Matt build the world events engine in .NET, connecting it to the Player State models via project references. They design a state machine architecture for the game engine, discuss action points as a game mechanic, and plan the player decisions API in Go for the next episode.

Quantum computing promises to solve problems that classical computers simply cannot — from cryptography and drug discovery to large-scale optimisation. In this session, Chris is joined by Johnny Hooybergs, .NET consultant and author of "Introducing Microsoft Quantum Computing for Developers", to demystify quantum computing for software developers. Johnny explains qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum gates, then demonstrates practical examples in Microsoft Q# and Python on both a local simulator and real Azure Quantum hardware, including Azure Quantum Inspired Optimization (QIO).

A live monthly roundup covering everything notable in Azure, GitHub, and Azure DevOps through February 2022. Key highlights include GitHub Actions support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) deployments to Azure Static Web Apps, GitHub Projects beta improvements (flexible iterations, insights filtering), and updates to GitHub Codespaces and the GitHub CLI. On the Azure side: Azure Monitor gains OpenTelemetry integration and improved observability tooling, Azure Payments HSM enters public preview, and Azure Arc cloud-to-edge observability is explored. Chris also shares Cloud With Chris updates including a new Hugo-powered presentations site hosted on Azure Static Web Apps, a feature flags episode, and community highlights from the UK Azure Community Day.
