NDC Copenhagen 2025: The 10 Most Common Azure Mistakes (and how to fix them)

After working with dozens of companies in Azure, I’ve seen the same mistakes pop up again and again — from mismanaged subscriptions to sketchy security setups and overlooked cost controls. In this session, we’ll walk through the 10 most common Azure missteps I’ve encountered in the real world, including gotchas in account organization, governance, compliance, performance, and how developers are misusing DefaultAzureCredential to authenticate to Azure.

Whether you’re deep into your cloud journey or just getting started, odds are your team is making at least one of these mistakes. By the end, you’ll leave with practical, actionable advice to spot these issues early and fix them fast — before they turn into bigger problems.

This talk will be given at NDC Copenhagen 2025 by LT’s Director of Engineering and Microsoft MVP, Scott Sauber.
