Demystifying Web API Security in Azure
Building APIs can be easy, but securing them is hard. We have external and internal applications, APIs, users, and more. Each might use a different authentication and authorization strategy, depending on customer and system needs. The stakes are high and there is no margin for error!
In this talk, we’ll look at the different categories of applications and users, and what possibilities we have for securing them. We’ll also look at what Azure provides for securing internal users and applications, and an external provider such as Auth0 for external users and applications. We’ll also cover different authentication and authorization strategies, and how we can map these to our various communication scenarios.
Finally, we’ll look at a full end-to-end example using .NET 8 and Azure, building out a playbook for the common and not-so-common scenarios we encounter.
Tales From the .NET 7 Migration Trenches
It’s served its users well, but now our .NET 4.8 app is looking a bit long in the tooth. Although technically still supported, the framework as a whole is at a dead end. It’s time to modernize, but that doesn’t mean rewrite.
In this talk, I’ll walk through migrating a typical enterprise .NET 4.8 web app from soup to nuts. We’ll look at tools and techniques for migrating features and components incrementally (and still deploying to production). I’ll also highlight some of the newer analyzers to see what we can easily migrate, adapt, or replace. We’ll look at many of the common dependencies and components most systems incorporate, such as Entity Framework, SignalR, and DI containers, and how to modernize and migrate those components. There may even be Web Forms!
Migrating to modern frameworks can seem daunting, but luckily for us, we can do so in a safe, deliberate approach that I will walk through in a real-world example.
