Sam Cogan

@mrcoups Thanks, yeah been there a year last week

@samcogan Didn't realise you were at Microsoft now, must have missed that. Congratulations 🎉

One of the disadvantages to joining Microsoft is that I don't get to attend the MVP summit this week, but that does mean I instead get to attend my first Kubecon, excited to see what this has to offer. #KubeCon

One of the things I wanted to get involved with when joining Microsoft was the Azure Verified Modules project and I've just released my first contribution. The Azure Container Apps Landing Zone pattern module is here registry.terraform.io/modules/Azure/…

Hit the 1,000 private endpoint limit in Azure? High Scale Private Endpoints increases limits to 5,000 per VNet and 20,000 across peered networks. Learn what it is, how it works, and the gotchas you need to know. buff.ly/XQef9cA

Resource Hooks are a new feature in Pulumi that allow for custom behaviour during resource lifecycle management. buff.ly/CM6s4iE

If you're interested in learning about using @Pulumi for Infrastructure as Code, but the developer focus has put you off, then I have a course for you - Pulumi for IT Pros pulumiforitpros.com

Local Deploy is a new Bicep feature that lets you deploy Bicep code, without connecting to Azure - Crazy! buff.ly/Yo9yC3t

Microsoft has just released a preview of an MCP server for Azure DevOps. This makes it easy to work on ADO work items right in GitHub Copilot, and I've recently published a workshop on doing just that - sam-cogan.github.io/mcp-workshops/…

If you're looking to get started with Infrastructure as Code with Bicep, a quick reminder that I have a totally free, comprehensive course on getting started, using real world scenarios bicepforreal.com

Bicep is 5 years old! Let’s take a look back at how this all started. buff.ly/1sAQTDn

The Pulumi Azure Native SDK has shrunk by 75%, here’s why and what that means for you. buff.ly/XxN713k

Large container images can slow down deployments and scaling. Artifact streaming can help speed this up. buff.ly/AQB7ZZJ

It’s the end of an era as I hang up my MVP award. buff.ly/m2Dgze7

Despite being old and slow in the past, coax is making a comeback as a networking option and it saved my home network from terrible speeds! bit.ly/4baLjn4
