Chris Pietschmann’s Sessions
At this edition of the Microsoft Azure + AI Conference in November 2019, Chris Pietschmann will be giving two sessions around Microsoft Azure and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. These sessions will take Developers deep into topics around Azure IoT technologies that are relevant for ALL IoT solutions.
Session 1: Building Secure IoT Solutions using Azure Sphere
Cybersecurity is important in any software solution. It’s even more important in the Internet of Things. This session takes you through building and prototyping secure, Internet to Things solutions using Azure Sphere; the Linux-based, secured, connected, crossover microcontroller unit (MCU) from Microsoft. We’ll look at securing Azure Sphere devices, writing and deploying code, and communicating with Azure IoT Hub. You’ll leave this session better prepared to build more highly secured IoT solutions using Microsoft Azure.
Session 2: Implementing Real-Time IoT Stream Processing in Azure
So, you have IoT Devices connected to IoT Hub sending telemetry data into the Microsoft Azure cloud. Now what? This session will take you through setting up real-time stream processing of IoT data. We’ll look at integrating services like Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Functions, and Cosmos DB to build a highly scalable stream processing backend for any IoT solution. You’ll leave this session better prepared to handle real-time IoT stream processing in Azure; plus, you’ll do it with less code by utilizing serverless Azure Functions.
