What is this session about?

Why should you attend?

"A Cinderella story" or "A Ghost Story" if a cloud migration was a Hollywood movie either of these could be the title, but most of us would probably prefer "A Cinderella Story" to be the tale of our migration projects.

In this talk I'll share a non-fictional story of how we (Cloud teams at Umbraco) spent the past 1.5 years modernizing our Cloud Platform all while migrating 1000s of customers all while running at 100%, no down time and while shipping new features, fully equipped with the latest .NET, API- and Event Driven architecture as well as Terraform to rule all the infrastructure.

As with any fairy tale there is a happy ending - in this azure themed one we ended up with a modern platform, which enables our developers to launch new services in a day instead of a week. It enabled the expansion of supported regions to less than a week instead of months.

Cameos include Azure App Service, Azure Kubernetes Services, Azure API Management, Terraform and a surprise appearance of Cloudflare.

Speaker info:
Morten Christensen - Head of Cloud Platform

Morten works at Umbraco HQ where he helps build Umbraco Cloud, which is Umbraco (the CMS) as a Service. Morten is also an Azure MVP, Azure Lover and community addict. In Copenhagen he helps organize the Copenhagen .NET Usergroup, Azure Usergroup and Community focused conferences like MicroCPH and Azure Saturday. When he is not working on Azure, doing Community events you can find him either learning about new things in Azure or building LEGO sets (there should probably have been a "LEGO addict" part somewhere in this profile as well - according to his bank account statements).
