Microsoft Azure MVP | Lead platform architect

Oslo, Norway

I am a Microsoft Azure MVP, working as a lead technical architect at Simplifai
For more than a decade I have worked with infrastructure management, automation, and monitoring. As this traditional role is changing fast, I am focusing my community contributions around the new IT-Pro role, where code meets operations. I regularly share on my blog, social media, conferences, and user groups.

Demystifying Azure identities

Not sure you understand App registrations, enterprise apps, and managed identities? This session will demystify everything. Although this session is delivered through the eyes of an IT Pro, you will learn a lot as a developer when it comes to identity on the Azure platform.

What can AI do for your operations and incident process

In this conference talk, I will delve beyond the surface-level familiarity of AI and ChatGPT to explore how these tools can truly revolutionize your operations and incident processes. While AI and ChatGPT have become commonplace, it is crucial to understand how they can be harnessed to enhance efficiency and productivity within your organization.

Throughout the session, I will discuss various innovative ideas and demonstrate practical solutions that leverage the combined power of Azure OpenAI and Slack. By integrating these technologies, you can unlock a wealth of benefits, ranging from streamlining workflows to improving communication and collaboration.

Join me as we explore real-world use cases, examine the potential pitfalls, and discover best practices for integrating AI tools into your operations and incident processes. Whether you are a technology enthusiast, an IT professional, or a decision-maker seeking to maximize the value of AI investments, this session will provide valuable insights and actionable strategies.

Demystify Azure authentication

What’s app registration and why is there an enterprise application as well?

Modern authentication in Azure AD can be used in a variety of forms, from human identities to non-human identities like devices, and workload identities like applications and managed identities.
While supporting industry standards for AuthN and AuthZ like OIDC and OAuth2, as an Azure AD admin, IT ops or Developer, you have to know what to use when. This session aim to demystify this landscape!

Build a self service portal using backstage.io

Use backstage as your stagefront for building self service portals for your developers. In Vipps mobilePay backstage is used by more than 100 developers each day to deploy applications to Azure, read documentation and gain insight in to the company application catalog.

Closing the documentation gap with Backstage.io

Documentation. Always outdated and in places no-one actually works on a daily basis… To address this issue we have implemented Backstage.io (from Spotify) in our organization. With Backstage we are able to gather information that is spread across Azure (and beyond) in one place. A clever solution for a modern day organization where teams can (automatically) document their applications where they develop them, in their repository.

In this session we show you how to get started with Backstage.io and the simple steps we have taken to gather information from GitHub, Azure DevOps, Azure Kubernetes Service and other (Azure) services.
You can expect some YAML, Azure Bicep and Git along the way.

A to Z on Azure Policy

Azure policy is a powerful feature. Learn how to get started and how to become an Azure policy rockstar.

Session is scoped to around 45 minutes, targeting anyone who has management experience with Azure but wants's to learn Azure policies benefits.

Creating re-usable Bicep modules for your organization

Sharing is caring. How do you build a useful "inner sourced" set of Bicep modules for your developers to use? In this session I will show how we successfully created a rather big set of modules, how it is published to a registry, and how we update, and create documentation for them.

Azure managment talk

In this Azure Management Talk webinar, Azure MVP Martin Ehrnst is taking a closer look at Azure Lighthouse. With Azure Lighthouse, managed service providers and enterprises can manage Azure resources cross tenants. This allows MSPs to create their own managing solutions, protecting their IP, as well as eliminating tenant switching. Enterprises with multiple tenants can benefit from the same service and manage their entire infrastructure from one single pane.
