This is a list of Azure related talks that I created, do contact me for more details or if you want to have a custom talk made.
As I prepared for the AZ-204 certification, I developed a tool designed to aid in learning and troubleshooting Azure projects. In this talk I will be sharing the inspiration behind its creation, the process of building it, and how it can become an invaluable resource in your Azure projects. You can access the project here.
How Do You Get an Access Token in Azure?
If you have developed .NET apps that connect to Azure, you probably used DefaultAzureCredential. It seems straightforward: just create one, and you’re done. But behind that single class is a surprising amount of complexity. It manages nearly 20 different TokenCredential types, each trying to get an access token in its own way.
This session will explain how authentication works in the Azure SDK for .NET. You will learn what the TokenCredential objects do, why the DefaultAzureCredential is so convenient, and when it might fail. We’ll also show you how to create a custom flow with ChainedTokenCredential for more control.
By the end of this talk, you’ll have a solid understanding of Azure authentication in .NET. You will learn how to troubleshoot your credential chain and peek behind the scenes with DefaultAzureCredential.
I recently earned the AZ-204 (Azure Developer Associate) certification, and in this talk, I’ll share my strategy for passing the exam. I’ll walk you through my study process, the key resources I used, and the lessons I learned along the way. As a bonus, I’ll offer an exclusive sneak peek at the Cloud Debugger for Azure, an open-source tool I developed during my certification studies.
