1/n If you're interested in the #MicrosoftFabric announcements from #MSBuild - we have lots of content for you! We were fortunate to be part of the private preview, and we wanted to share what we learned. A top level post and a long 🧵 endjin.com/microsoft-part…

@varundikar @azuread @microsoftgraph Having access to the Graph API when using managed identity for Azure DevOps service connections (and AKS pod identity) would facilitate a wide range of automation scenarios.

Do you have scenarios where you want to use an Azure Managed Identity (aka.ms/managedidentity) to call Microsoft Graph APIs? I'd love to learn more about what are you trying to achieve end to end. Reply or DM @azuread @microsoftgraph

@MikeLarah @jagregory 😆

@jagregory I believe the releases in the marketplace are driven by the tags on the GH repo. If you take a look at the tags for action/checkout (github.com/actions/checko…), the v2 tag has been moved to same commit as v2.3.3

Using a GitHub Action am I'm supposed to update the version when the action releases a new minor version? e.g github.com/marketplace/ac… has v2.3.3 as latest, but all the examples still just use v2. Does v2 alias to v2.3.3 or am I now behind unless I update all my workflows?

@jagregory Not sure if this is the official guidance, but that's what we @endjin do - create a specific version tag (i.e. v2.3.3) and then promote a v2 tag to point at the same ref. It's worked well for us, makes it simple to track the latest version of the desired major release.

@grapesfrog @StuartPreston @mouldie @HowardvRooijen I must have missed original plans... in town, but can't stay out, we've guests due :-(

The most IBM thing ever :-| RT: “JSONx is an IBM standard format to represent JSON as XML pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wsd…”

@_jamesdawson hardly your fault, in fact now I kind of feel bad for not redirecting them cruelly robbing them of their interaction with you

@jsnover @posh_chef Not yet, I don't think. It was demoed at a recent Chef user group here in London, but I don't think it was recorded.

@_jamesdawson Being mistaken for you seems to constitute the majority of my Twitter feed these days ;-)

. @jsnover Have you seen @posh_chef? (GitHub.com/PoshChef) A pure Powershell Chef client with DSC at its core - best of both worlds?

@HowardvRooijen @grapesfrog @mouldie @StuartPreston @ythos I'm up for that, thoroughly enjoyed catching up with @StuartPreston tonight.

@jonand82 Someone on the PowerShell team I assumed, it part of their TechEd session demos.

Call me a cynic, but it's interesting how the #staines #flood twitter stream is increasingly populated by repetitive corporate PR accounts.

@grapesfrog Hopefully yeah... BobS and I have a session proposed, but I'd like to go even if it isn't accepted.

@grapesfrog thank you! Did I see your name on the list of DevOpsDays-goers?

@Neptune443 nice one, I'll be interested to see your approach for getting it working.

@Neptune443 I eventually finished that post, hope it helps - readsource.co.uk/blog/2013/10/1…

I finally finished my post about getting the #powershell #DSC RTM bits working with the web-based pull mode - readsource.co.uk/blog/2013/10/1…

@Neptune443 the post is still in progress, they always take longer than expected (at least for me)

Also thanks to @Neptune443 for his post that flags how DSC is picky about the format of zip files it uses. blog.cosmoskey.com/powershell/des…
