I have opened a new feature request that I think might be useful github.com/Azure/bicep/... #Azure #AzureBicep

Working on a complex expression in a Bicep template. It's so great to call Microsoft Docs MCP to let the agent learn about a function and then combine it with best practices tools from GitHub Copilot for Azure.

Next release of Bicep will have experimental DSCv3 support! github.com/Azure/bicep/...

This is just the first of many steps, but you can now author DSCv3 config using Bicep (don't try loops, won't work). There's still lots of work left to have more natural integration including intellisense.

It's an interesting idea, but definitely some open questions and not clear on the demand. Come to our Roundtable Discussion today and we can discuss!

I always found the term “DevOps” to be kinda dumb, so it sure was nice of them all to rebrand as “Platform Engineering.”

Looking forward to the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Summit this week on Microsoft's campus where I'll deliver a fun talk looking back at Azure's history and forward to where it's heading. If you're an MVP, see you Thursday!

never change, Microsoft

This advice is timeless. Just shared it with a new team member.

The Park City ski patrol strike is over. The workers got every major item they wanted from Vail Resorts.

-Starting wages up by $2/hr.

-Senior workers get pay raised by as much as $7.75/hr.

-Better parental leave and professional development.

-A better wage scale and more.

The Department of Transportation is fining JetBlue $2 million for "chronically delayed" flights on the East Coast.

It's the first time the DOT has fined an airline for delays on specific routes due to "unrealistic" scheduling.

Half of the fine will go to affected passengers.

Shameless self-promotion of my blog 🚨

I write about #Terraform, #Boundary, #Vault, #Azure, #AWS, and other things and technologies I find interesting!

Highly recommended by me (🔟 out of 🔟) and at least one other person who clicked the "Buy me a coffee button". Thanks Eric! 🙏
