A full day of platform engineering for AI — at Dierenpark Apenheul.
AI agent memory sounds complicated until you realize there is already a perfect example of it: your own brain. Each type and technique of agent memory matched to the part of the brain it mirrors — then shown at work in a real agentic system in production: how it decides what to remember, how it recalls the right thing at the right moment, and how it forgets the rest.
In many organizations the obvious settings are never evaluated or checked — and that creates avoidable security exposure. A visual, #BulletPointFree run-through of twelve checks every admin should do to make sure the basics are actually covered. Applies to Entra ID as well as Microsoft 365.
copilot-instructions.md, AGENTS.md, SKILL.md, prompt files — they all tell the agent how to behave. So why does one get followed immediately while another disappears into the void? A practical mental model for how AI instruction files are actually loaded and applied — and how to spot guidance that is being ignored versus never loaded.
Managing Azure Policy through the portal becomes a hassle once your tenant reaches a certain size — and with new AI services landing almost every month, good governance is key. A level-400 walk-through of Enterprise Policy as Code: desired-state strategy, managing policies, policy sets and assignments, and policy documentation as code.
This workshop opens with a level 400 deep dive into Azure networking. Expect in-depth coverage of Azure network architectures, routing, hub-spoke, vWAN, private connectivity, DNS, security patterns, and troubleshooting at scale. Not an introduction — a session for people who genuinely want to understand and design Azure networks at enterprise level. In the second half we shift focus to the future: the intersection of AI and platform engineering. How do you build platforms that are not only stable and secure, but also ready for AI workloads, automation, and self-service? You'll get insight into architecture choices, platform strategy, and the structural role AI is going to play in modern cloud platforms.
