Secure Computing and practical Privacy By Design

This talk plunges into secure computing, data protection and privacy-by-design from a practical standpoint. By the end you'll have practical insights on how to build privacy-focused systems that keep user data safe, and you'll be able to navigate some of the complexities of legal compliance. You'll learn the essentials of encryption and security, and take your first step towards becoming a privacy-by-design champion!

I'll show encryption techniques for data at rest and in transit. How to manage encryption keys and risks involved. How to utilize anonymization and pseudonymization. How GDPR and other regulations shape system design. How to securely share secrets and data with applications and with the rest of the team. We'll also explore use cases of secure computing and secure enclaves for improved data security.

Death to Test Environments

A validated, stable and usable environment to execute test scenarios and replicate bugs, or a wasteful effort that will never be able to replicate production data or usage patterns? Have the use of test environments gone to far, or are we just doing it wrong? Let's have a look at some normal ways of utilizing test environments and some changes we can do to get more value out of them. Maybe we'll decide we don't need one at all!

Immutable application deployments with F# Make

Deliver continuously to Azure Web Apps by making your build- and deployment pipeline scalable and testable with F# Make! This presentation will show you how to write build- and deployment-scripts that runs the same on your local machine as when deploying in an Azure Web App! I'll do the following:

- Introduce you to FAKE and how it compares to Cake and PSAKE
- Teach you about Kudu, the engine behind deployments to Azure Web Apps
- Show you how you can free yourself of saving environment specific configuration in tools like Octopus Deploy and VSTS
- Demonstrate migrating Azure SQL databases on deploy, using the Web Apps connection string(s)
- Show how add ARM to this setup, how to approach security and how to automatically smoke test
