Industry Keynote: How Businesses are Harnessing Cloud to Spark Innovation and Gain Competitive Advantage

TRACK 1: Modern Application Development in the Cloud

Track Summary: Developers want to build new applications, extend existing ones, and easily move on-premises workloads to the cloud with no application changes or new tools to learn. Likewise they need to collaborate closely with IT Operations and Lines of Business to deliver on their priorities.
