IT teams need to address three different app and desktop delivery scenarios to support the various computing needs of users

The VDI Landscape: What Came Before and What's Possible Now Digital transformation can be exciting, but it also can be painful. Organizations are trying to better support a growing mobile workforce that needs the flexibility to work from anywhere on any device. The ability to do so offers a distinct competitive advantage, as productivity soars. Virtualizing applications and desktops has been an important step toward achieving these productivity gains, but the first generation of virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and application publishing solutions not only failed to deliver on cost savings and streamlined IT promises, but they contributed an overwhelming level of complexity that ballooned the operating expenses of these implementations - an unpleasant surprise. Now, many organizations that implemented these first-generation solutions need to determine a migration strategy for this legacy VDI infrastructure, and it's a difficult proposition; some of that infrastructure has been untouched for more than a decade. Organizations don't want to - and can't - remain stuck with these costly and complex solutions, but moving forward can seem almost impossible. As you evaluate your options for deploying a new implementation or migrating away from an old one, note that Gartner predicts that within two years, 50 percent of all VDI deployments will be Desktop as a Service (DaaS), which means that data center infrastructure and VDI control will be located in the cloud. In the meantime, though, the question for organizations that are nowhere near ready to go all-cloud is: How can IT best meet today's requirements for supporting users while also making sure their organization's VDI solution is future-proof and cloud-ready? The Three Application and Desktop Delivery Scenarios
Where We've Been: Legacy Application and Desktop Solutions Offer Little Choice Organizations looking to virtualize applications have typically chosen the most well-established provider, which for many years was the only game in town. Now, however, most of those same organizations face the choice of a major forklift upgrade or being left without support on outdated technology. For virtual desktops, the other large provider has gained ground, yet these customers struggle with all the same cost and complexity issues that come with implementing outdated technology on-premises. Now, both dominant vendors offer their legacy solutions in the cloud, but there are critical questions to ask these vendors if you're considering a cloud strategy. It's tough to figure out where to begin piecing together the fragmented solution set that will meet your unique needs, and yet there is growing recognition of the strategic value desktop and app virtualization bring to organizations of all sizes. Where do you even start? What's Possible Now: All Hail the Cloud! Technology of this kind provides a one-stop shop - there's just one user interface for IT teams to manage everything, plus end users have a simple, elegant, unified workspace where they access all their apps, desktops and data on whatever device they want to use. What's more, deployment of the entire solution can happen in less than one day - a vast improvement over the average implementation timeline of many months that defines legacy solutions. With all this good news comes a caveat: organizations looking to the cloud to simplify desktop and app delivery need to proceed cautiously as they navigate the options - drill down into the implementation details and ask all the hard questions of these vendors to avoid costly surprises. No one can see into the future with complete accuracy, but expert analysts agree that the end-user computing landscape will evolve from the fragmented, single-tenant, complex, on-premises solutions to unified, multi-tenant, simple, scalable, cloud-native solutions. It's all great news for customers; there's no reason to look back.

Authorization of web applications developed in the cloud is a fundamental problem for security, yet companies often build solutions from scratch, which is error prone and impedes time to market. This talk shows developers how they can (instead) build on-top of community-owned projects and frameworks for better security.Whether you build software for enterprises, mobile, or internal microservices, security is important. Standards like SAML, OIDC, and SPIFFE help you solve identity and authentication, but for them authorization is out of scope. When you need to control "who can do what" in your ...
