As you know, Azure Cloud Shell is a great management tool to manage your Azure resources. Azure Cloud Shell is an interactive, authenticated, browser-accessible shell for managing Azure resources. It provides the flexibility of choosing the shell experience that best suits the way you work, either Bash or PowerShell. You can learn more about Azure Cloud Shell https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2019/01/azure-cloud-shell/. If you wanted to manage Azure resources such as Azure virtual machines (VMs), you needed to connect to a public IP address of a virtual machine, which really didn't work in all scenarios. With the https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-shell/private-vnet?WT.mc_id=thomasmaurer-blog-thmaure, you can now connect Azure Cloud Shell to an Azure virtual network (vNet). With the new method, you can now deploy the Azure Cloud Shell container within your virtual network (vNet), which now allows you to use PowerShell remoting, SSH, or other command-line tools such as kubctl using private IP addresses.
I am happy to let you know about another https://mktoevents.com/Microsoft+Event/188008/157-GQE-382?WT.mc_id=thomasmaurer-blog-thmaure where I am presenting together with Microsoft Cloud Solution Architect, Dominik Zemp, about Azure Architecture Best Practices. This free virtual event will be on August 18 from 9:30am-12:00pm (CEST). In this session, you will learn about proven guidance that's designed to help you, architect, create and implement the business and technology strategies necessary for your organization to succeed in the cloud. It provides best practices, documentation, and tools that cloud architects, IT professionals, and business decision-makers need to successfully achieve their short- and long-term objectives. We will be focusing on topics like the https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-adoption-framework?WT.mc_id=thomasmaurer-blog-thmaure and the new https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/enterprise-scale/architecture?WT.mc_id=thomasmaurer-blog-thmaure architecture.
The Students I have been working with in Bit Project are presenting their final projects this week. This blogpost will highlight these 7 projects and link to their open source projects/MSLearn modules. The event is live here on 8/13 (and I will be updating the blog post with the recorded video of presentations after 8/13)!
I took the Azure-based social space / event platform I'm building for the Roguelike Celebration conference and added in a few different accessibility linting tools, including integrating them with GitHub and GitHub Actions. I talked through the value (and limitations!) of automated accessibility tooling, and went through my app live and fixed accessibility issues based on the feedback.
