    Azure AD for the Azure Data Services
    07th September 2022 | 14:05 to 15:00 hrs – Azerbaijan Time (GMT +4)

    Working with Azure data services it is nearly impossible to ignore Azure AD; we can use it simply for logging in to specific services like Azure SQL or Azure Data Lake, but also for setting up OAuth token authentication for a service like Databricks. Unfortunately, most of the time we notice bumping into Azure AD when things aren't working as expected.

    Therefore, we need to understand the essentials about Azure AD, identities, authentication and authorization. In this sessions we will start from what you need to know about Azure AD in relation to Azure data services. Then we will look at different scenarios of setting up authentication in general. Lastly, we will move through the landscape of Azure data services and see how Azure AD can be leveraged for each of these services, highlighting both similarities and differences in the entire landscape.
