About this talk

SQLBits 2020

There are many different cloud storage solutions, each with different applications and benefits. In this talk we will focus on the benefits of using Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS).

We will cover how we use ADLS in real projects to produce a security architecture which is adaptable, scalable and provides in-built monitoring capabilities.

We will walk through in more detail how ADLS can be combined with serverless processing and secured via Azure Active Directory in order to gain insights without exposing more data than necessary.

By the end of this talk you will have a good understanding of the advantages of using ADLS, and the different techniques and patterns we regularly use to build up secure and manageable data architectures.
