I’ve been wanting to do this series for a while, and with some of the recent changes in Azure Automation DSC, I feel like we can now do a truly complete series. So let’s get started! Compliance is hard as it is. And as companies start moving more workloads into the cloud, they struggle with […]
Microsoft recently published a "Future of DSC" post that I thought deserved some independent commentary.
We have started the acceptance process for the sessions to be presented at the 2018 Summit.

PowerShell 2.0 is being deprecated – see the PowerShell Team blog for full details
I’ve decided to bring #PSBlogWeek back! Brush off those PowerShell blogs and grease up those typing fingers….wait..don’t do that but at least stretch a little bit.
