Cool to be able to speak at 3 different events within 7 days, but also to see many known people and to met new people.

Data DSaturdayData Saturday

Data Saturday Holland is the new name for SQL Saturday Holland, The Microsoft Data Platform themed community event which will be held at a new location Pathé Leidsche Rijn.

This year I will for the first time join forces with Ahmed Mansour, Cloud Solution Architect @Microsoft

 

Session Title:

Help, I need to migrate my On Premise Database to Azure, which Database Tier do I have to choose from.

Session Details:

During this session we will walk you through all the different Tiers in Azure, DTU, Vcore, Serverless and Managed Instance and will provide examples when to use which Tier.
We will also show you the Microsoft Data Migration Assesment (DMA). This tool will help you to decide which tier you should choose. So if you need help or just interested in the different Azure Database Tiers then visit our session

ConnectDataMinds Connect

This year DataMinds Connect will be held in Lamot, a unique convention center located along the water, in the historic center of Mechelen.

 

Session Title:

Azure Key Vault, Azure Dev Ops and Data Factory how do these Azure Services work perfectly together!

Session Details:

Can we store our Connectionstrings or BlobStorageKeys or other Secretvalues somewhere else then in Azure Data Factory(ADF)? Yes you can! You can store these valuable secrets in Azure Key Vault(AKV). But how can we achieve this in ADF? And finally how do we deploy our DataFactories in Azure Dev Ops to Test, Acceptance and Production environments with these Secrets ? Can this be setup dynamically? During this session I will give answers on all of these questions. You will learn how to setup your Azure Key Vault, connect these secrets in ADF and finally deploy these secrets dynamically in Azure Dev Ops. As you can see a lot to talk about during this session.
