Agent Framework is gold. github.com/microsoft/agen… Lots of good content about it, so easy to learn, plus comes with good examples in the repo. Using with Azure Ai Foundry is also great.

Finally started converting my #Bicep to User Defined Types. Extremely happy with the outcome. Thank you to the Bicep Team, for all of the hard work.

Cool demo.. 👌

@JohnLokerse I like to use lookup tables for sets of common information. Then you just have a lookup value in the param file on objects for different setting lookup. Many are also just bool E.g. 0/1 to enable disable features.

How do you handle the readability of large (main) Bicep parameter files? I lose oversight sometimes and wished I had something like C# regions to open/hide chunks of parameters. #azure #bicep #biceplang

Really enjoying being back at #pshsummit again this year #PowerShell 🙏 Great sessions and DevOps topics. ✅

@BrettMiller_IT @Steve_MSFT @BicepLang Something needs a shake up if this is going to make compelling forward progress. I definitely understand the challenges & constraints. At the end of the day this is a Configuration Management product that has all of the pieces, yet fragmented implementation. It needs portability.

Happy to be able to be at PSConfEU again!

@Steve_MSFT @BicepLang The intern projects in the @BicepLang team have been doing great things. I am sure they can spec out something and gather community feedback in preparation for the integration.

@brwilkinson @BicepLang We've had initial conversations with the Bicep team regarding DSC and there is a path forward but we simply don't have the resources to invest in it right now. Priority is to get the platform towards feature complete then RC, then GA. Then, maybe Bicep

@Steve_MSFT Lots of work on extensibility etc. from @BicepLang Plus the authoring experience is amazing. I hope this communication channel with @Steve_MSFT and team is open.

@brwilkinson Because we've aligned the new DSC config schema to ARM templates, this is something we're looking at in the future

@markwragg @markrussinovich Thank you @markwragg

@markrussinovich I was thinking about that Block chain EOL tweet that you posted a while back? Along the lines of it was a dead-end path in technology? Was that 2022, I tried scrolling back, however only got as far as 2023 before they ran out.

Wow, one of the many long time coming changes... #Azure Virtual Networks. Appreciate this update,... This was probably the most confusing thing for new comers to Azure (ARM) template deployment, including Bicep. techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/azure-netwo…

With #PowerShell Classes. What is the best way to write code and update and re-import class definitions and using imports? Is the best option in #vscode? "powershell.debugging.createTemporaryIntegratedConsole": true

@Kvad The $psstyle is something that is available to anyone on pwsh. 7.2 + So it's user configurable to your preference and the implementation is really well done. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershe…

@brwilkinson Nice. Have you tried to submit as a feature to their GitHub?

Adding this to my PowerShell profile, has brought me so much joy... So much better in logging as well. $PSStyle.Formatting.Verbose = "`e[36;1m" Not sure why I didn't do it sooner.

@Slav636 hi @Slav636 It just changes the Verbose Text color... for some reason both Verbose and Warning streams are Orange in recent versions of Powershelll. Originally I think it was in the ISE Verbose was cyan and it's a nice contrast, when you write to both streams in the same output.

@brwilkinson What does it do?
