About this event

**Ethan Zeccola - Azure Communication Services: The Comms Stack You Already Own** Every application eventually needs to talk to someone. An SMS to confirm a booking, an email receipt, a video call with a support agent. The usual answer is to bolt on a third-party service, which means another vendor, another bill, another set of credentials, and customer data taking a trip outside your tenant. Azure Communication Services is Microsoft's first-party answer to that problem: SMS, email, chat, voice, and video, exposed as SDKs and REST APIs and living inside the same subscription, identity model, and compliance boundary as everything else you run. It also behaves like a normal Azure resource: deployable with Bicep, governed with RBAC, and observable through Azure Monitor. I'll walk through what the service actually covers, then demo it live, standing one up and getting a message out the door, so you can see how much work it really takes. **Stuart Dobson - My Ship's AI Told Me It Was Cooli
