The speaker, Jimmy Bogard, introduces himself and provides links to his social media and blog. He explains that he works as a consultant, building applications and systems for clients. He discusses a project where his team was tasked with transitioning a monolithic application to a microservice-oriented architecture, including securing the different services with Azure. He explains the original architecture used cookie-based authentication, which became more complex as they transitioned to microservices. The speaker goes on to detail the new architecture using Azure services, which included an Angular application, a purpose-built API, and an external identity provider. He highlights the challenges of authenticating and authorizing external users and the decision to use Auth0 for that purpose.
