Guest Access

Recently had to do a bunch of research into guest access in Azure AD. One of things I've been trying to wrap my head around recently is the move from federation access via legacy ADFS type connections. Moving those over to guest access to B2B. It really fixes some of the trust issues that would happen. It also allows the IAM part of the business to play catch up instead of trusting all domain users for example. I was at ignite this year, and it seemed to be the overall theme. Consuming content how you want to consume, via a B2B, and collaborate on the go. With all the updates to teams we've gotten in the last year, I am excited to see what this year has in store.

Ignite 2018 review

So Ignite has come and gone, and this would of been my 4th Microsoft conference.  The overwhelming theme this was was collaboration.  You would be hard pressed to find anything that doesn't tie back into collaboration.

Microsoft it seems really only cares about two productions, and if you don't tie into those two, you are getting little to no time.

Azure and Office365. They are linking everything in the entire stack back to those two products.  The have also even organized all the vendors by how they connect into those platforms.

I really enjoyed the sessions I attended these year, the sessions around the testing of the new AZ exams was incredibility insightful.  I tend to agree with Microsoft, make the certification path more job role based vs. overall Microsoft skill.
