AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It's a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11 AM Pacific / 2 PM Eastern on [Microsoft LearnTV](https://cda.ms/226) and learn more about Azure.

This week I welcomed [Christos Matskas](https://twitter.com/ChristosMatskas), Program Manager at Microsoft, to the show.  We have discussed Identity before, but we'll get a great look into [authentication, authorization](https://cda.ms/24G), and [Azure AD](https://cda.ms/24F).  Christos helps us understand how we can bridge the gap between our on-prem and Azure solutions for access management to ensure a great experience for developers.  Wechat about the importance of [multi-factor authentication](https://cda.ms/24K) and conditional access.  We will discuss implementation in [JavaScript](https://cda.ms/24H) and [.NET](https://cda.ms/24J) apps to ensure all you developers get the most out of this session.  

Be sure you check out Christos Twitch Show, [The 425 Show](https://aka.ms/425show) and [Discord](https://aka.ms/425Show/discord/join).

Our Agenda:  
* What is Microsoft Identity?
* Why should devs not manage their own user databases!
* How to get started with Microsoft Identity.
* Types of Identity you can manage with Microsoft Identity
Demos.
