Summary of: “Serverless Technologies - Part 2 (Microsoft Azure)” held on May 10, 2019 from 8 to 10 AM.
The session was led by Microsoft Cloud Architect Kyle Wilson. The initial part of this talk focused on exploring a simple model for application modernization strategy. We then dived into the Serverless capabilities of Azure and how they can be leveraged in support of the application modernization process. We covered technical insights into the pros and cons of various approaches along with some specific examples and demonstrations. The goal of this talk was to bring more clarity on the Serverless offerings in Azure and how they fit into a broader cloud/application modernization strategy.
