🚨 It's a new month and that means a new blog post... This time three new endpoints are introduced in the September update on Azure DevOps Services. They allow you to automate GitHub resources through the REST API. To learn more about it, check out my blog at: https://lnkd.in/e6HR7cg3 #azuredevops #blog #tutorial #restapi #powershell #techtips

Terraform's Import block functionality will help give a lot of companies the ability to bring their existing infrastructure under a unified code base. Now with the ability to use for_each inside their import block this video shows a cool way to utilize that feature to build on top of your existing pipelines without having to re-engineer anything.

Do you use Private Endpoints for Azure PaaS services? Do you utilize multiple Azure regions for disaster recovery scenarios? If so, are you certain that your Private Endpoints are configured optimally? I wrote a new blog post about this exact subject. In my opinion, this is not heavily present in Microsoft's documentation. Shoutout to Adam Stuart, his YouTube videos and GitHub repos were the primary source of information that I used when writing my blog. You can find links to that info at the end of my blog. #mvpbuzz #microsoft #azure #networking #privatelink #privateendpoint #paas

💡 "So why did #Kubernetes win? Well, because it was #opensource, it was multi-vendor, and what I think is most important, there was a community of passionate people contributing to it," said our CEO, Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen, yesterday at the main stage at #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon. 👉 Watch his keynote here: https://okt.to/KrRVS6

💡 Time for a new blog! 💡 It was time to bring the last pieces together in these phased articles and include the deployment stage for deploying environment agents onto Azure VMs through Azure Pipelines.

One of my beefs with terraform is it’s trying so hard to be flat. Some of us want very dynamic scripts. But when you create a k8s cluster, form the kubexonfig file, then need to use the kubexonfig file to load in the rest of the parts like ingress, having a depends_on would be nice for providers. I did cheat a little and abuse the variable system to force the provider to wait, but then you run into what about a workspace that will have kubernetes set to false and get a zero count for your k8s module? Then it gets angry because the module output isn’t there. I still like Chef. Chef let me do what I want when I want. Just was bad on creating the underlying infrastructure but great at configuring it once it was up. *shrug* #terraform #kubernetes #k8s #eks #automation #burgerkingmodel

📣 New Blog Post Alert! 📣 I've just published a new blog post titled "Mastering Cost Allocation in Azure". In this post, I delve into the world of cost allocation in Azure's Cost Management. I explain how it allows you to reassign the costs of shared services from one subscription, resource group, or tag to another within your organization. I've also included practical examples and a handy PowerShell function to help you get started. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/esJVs_Dc #Azure #CostManagement #FinOps #PlatformEngineering

I really enjoyed creating this github repo on how to implement #AzureCosmosDB as VectorStore and create a RAG solution using #AzureOpenAI and #AzureCosmosDB as Vector Store. Believe it or not, you can build a prototype for building a chatbot on your data in couple of hours. Read it all and try it yourself, you'll be amazed, I promise! Watch out this space for more exciting things coming soon !! README document has step-by-step implemention details. https://lnkd.in/gawGnct7
