Talks

Growth is great until it isn't. For years, features came first and infrastructure debt quietly piled up. Dependencies, slow CI/CD, tight couplings and workarounds made keeping everything updated a nightmare and our reputation got worse each month.

This is the story of how we got here, why we're rebuilding instead of fixing, and how Crossplane became central to creating a developer experience people actually enjoy. It is also the story of everything that isn't perfect, the challenges we faced, and why earning developer trust matters more than any architectural decision.

How do we secure employee and partner identities have the right access - without spending a lot of time on manual tasks to follow up new people, leavers, and changing requirements?

Entitlement Management in Microsoft Entra ID give us easy and secure ways of managing the lifecycle of user access from their first day until their last. We’ll show you how to make sure people have the right access at the right time, how we delegate the responsibilities to managers closer to the user, and still make the security and platform teams feel comfortable enough to sleep well at night

A 30 minute overview of implementing Identity Governance in Entra ID with Terraform and introducing the capabilities of terraform-provider-msgraph. Demo material available at github.com/sjovang/ignite-watch-party-demo

We have preached leaving clickops behind and start describing our infrastructure with code for years, but which tools should we use in 2025? How does the landscape looks, which options do we like and recommend, and are there still gaps where IaC is not as mature as we want?

Demo material is available on github.com/sjovang/mvp-dagen-2025

This session explores updates to IaC tooling for Microsoft Azure and Entra ID. We'll cover good practices, verified modules, recent updates to Bicep and Terraform and compare them both to new players in the area before we round off with highlights of areas that are still problematic.

Introduction to public cloud and cloud computing for students at Kristiansund Vgs

Why public cloud can actually be more secure than the "datacenter" you have under your stairs. Co-hosted with the CTO from one of NextDigital's member companies who kindly provided examples from their own experiences

Infrastructure as code isn't all about promised velocity. Most often it will be slower in the beginning, but there are also benefits to security, standardization, ability to reproduce and verify etc.
