Securing Cosmos DB: Ready for Production!

Getting started with Cosmos DB is super easy and you get the scalability and global reach out of the box. For production scenarios we often have additional requirements for security, that could span from restricting public endpoints to auditing user actions on data. In this session, we will go through the different security capabilities available for Cosmos DB, focusing deeper on networking and access control. We will cover how to control networking and use private endpoints with Cosmos DB, as well as how the global nature of the service makes these different from the rest of the services in Azure. We will also explore the different options for access control on the data in Cosmos DB and particularly how the newest addition to the mix, Cosmos DB RBAC, can help keep your data secure.

To Bicep or to Terraform - That is the Question

If you're getting started with an implementation using Infrastructure as Code, one of the first things to figure out is which tool to use. In this session will dive into the details of the differences of Bicep and Terraform to help you choose the best option for your scenario. We will begin the session by going through the similarities of Bicep and Terraform, but will then jump straight into the differences of these two tools. We will cover how state is handled, how configuration is scoped and how making changes is evaluated. Then we will go through how existing resources are handled and using preview features. At the end of this session you will be able to choose which tool is the best option for your implementation!
