The cloud technology industry is transitioning from activity-based value to system-based value, meaning that value is shifting from the implementation of workloads in the direction of architecting strategic foundations and building platform ecosystems—the fabric into which applications, infrastructure, integrations, and the modern data platform is woven. In the Microsoft Cloud, these workloads are increasingly being built to (a) integrate with one another, (b) broader enterprise cloud estate, and (c) make use of common building blocks such as core platform services, Azure application and integration services, the “Fabric” modern data platform, and Power Platform. In other words, solutions are being tied together rather than architected in isolation, and this is generating vast datasets built as "single sources of truth". This session will get you thinking like the world's boldest solution and enterprise architects as we explore real-world examples of how organizations have stitched their workloads together into an ecosystem, best practices for doing so, and lessons learned along the way.
