At our organization, we believe that code should be the single source of truth — and that idea shapes the way we handle cloud governance. We use Azure Policies to audit and enforce our standards across different levels, and we manage everything through code to keep things consistent, transparent, and easy to improve. In this session, I’ll walk you through how we’ve set things up. Whether you’re already deep into Azure Policies or just starting to explore policy-as-code, I will give you practical insights into how to make governance more scalable, consistent, and engineer-friendly.

These days, we live in a world facing an ever-growing number of cyber threats and data breaches. Ensuring the protection of sensitive information in virtual environments has never been more critical. In this session, I’ll explore the world of cloud security with a focus on Confidential Virtual Machines (VMs). You’ll discover how confidential VMs strengthen protection through hardware-based encryption and secure enclaves. I’ll also share real-world examples, practical tips, and lessons learned from the field. Join me as we unlock the potential of confidential VMs and empower your organization to securely and confidently manage IaaS workloads with greater resilience and peace of mind.
