Intelligent Apps with Serverless on Azure

4:00 CH - 5:00 CH (UTC)

Do you want to build and develop serverless .NET applications into containers on a cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure? In this session, you will learn about the important technical concepts you need to know about building and developing intelligent applications using Azure Container Apps (ACA). The session explores serverless containers such Azure Container Apps and its key useful features for cloud development of microservices-type of architecture. Learn how to build with ACA using smart developer tools like Azure Developer CLI (azd) where you have all what you need in one repository to deploying apps to Azure in just few lines of CLI-commands. Regardless of whether you are new, you will learn how to get started building with ACA and utilize the power of Azure with it.

In this demo-heavy, hands-on session we will explore what Azure Container Apps is and when it may be beneficial to use this service. We will take a full journey from having just the application code and application container image on our hands to creating, configuring, and deploying the application to a production-like environment with Azure Container Apps, while simultaneously focusing on doing that according to established best practices, as if we adopt this experience in an enterprise setting. This journey will include implementing infrastructure-as-code with Bicep for Azure Container Apps and related resources, workflow for provisioning the resources with GitHub Actions and configuration details for securing and optimizing Azure Container Apps.

This talk is about Azure Container Apps(ACA) usage scenarios, finding the right fit, and understanding its founding pillar - Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr). ACA is much more than just a lightweight serverless orchestrator with out-of-box resiliency, jobs, stateful workloads, and GPU-powered compute. Join this session to understand applicable usage scenarios of ACA, how to build serverless apps, and learn why applications made with Azure Container Apps are easily portable between platforms.

If you are trying to understand Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications, scenarios and how to leverage the power of GenAI in your enterprise apps, then this session is for you. In this session, we'll use the Enterprise Chat app sample for .NET to explore how you can build Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) applications for your enterprise using components like Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, Azure Container Apps, and Azure Functions. Discover the possibilities using serverless technologies in the realm of AI with the focus on code to get you started quickly on building intelligent applications on Azure.
