18h45 – 19h30: Azure Log Analytics and the Kusto Query Language by Els Putzeys

Monitoring is not always the most exciting part of an administrator’s life. But it is important, and it has to be done. And maybe it can even be fun these days with the Kusto Query language.

KQL is a powerful tool that helps you explore your data and discover patterns. From simple queries that filter data and return specific columns to complex statements that join data from various tables, Kusto can handle it all.

Logging data from Azure resources and on-premises VMs is collected by the Log Analytics workspace, where it is stored and can be queried with Kusto.

Learn all about the Azure Log Analytics service, the Kusto language syntax and how to write queries to get insights in your data in this session.

Is your environment acting the way you intended it to be, as in do your users see what you wanted them to see?
Is your app breaking under stress or even worse going down when components are acting up (or down in this case)?
In the past people were using Azude Devops Load Testing and related. But we all know some of these services have been deprecated. In this session you will be guided though all the options you have today lining out all the testing capabilities you have in the Microsoft Coding Universe.
Let’s take a stroll through the various options for load, chaos and automated testing in all things Microsoft devops and Azure. In doing so you will get to learn which services to use to improve reliability, performance usability and resilience of the applications you are building.

Note: testing includes Chaos Studio, Playwright, Azure Load Testing and more.
