Last night's Azure outage caused a bloodbath testing for all of our @dbatools.io testing on @github.com. Claude took care of restarting them all, no problem 😊

PowerShell terminal screenshot showing a real-time interaction between a user and an AI assistant named Claude. The user reports that Microsoft DNS went down globally around the same time they submitted several pull requests, which failed in GitHub Actions. They ask Claude to find and restart any failed GitHub Actions from the past 2 hours. Claude executes a Bash command using `gh run list` piped through `jq` to filter and list failed runs, displaying 8 failures across main and dev branches with timestamps. It confirms the failures coincide with the DNS outage and begins restarting them, demonstrating automated incident response using AI and CLI tooling.

🎉 Big news! dbatools is moving to Azure Trusted Signing, which provides base reputation on Windows SmartScreen. No more antivirus false positives. The catch? If you use strict ExecutionPolicies, you'll need to trust our cert after each update (it rotates daily). But we've got automation scripts.

TLDR: dbatools is moving to Azure Trusted Signing, which means Microsoft backs our reputation and dbatools won't trigger as many antivirus false positives. …

Fantastic walk through of using @dbatools.io with PowerShell Universal. Jess provides step-by-step examples of pulling data back in APIs and building out an app to display database in tables. She even gets into the server-side paging. Worth a watch!

Put together a little video on using #PowerShellUniversal with @dbatools.io to create a cool dashboard! What do you think? What should I add? (especially to the home page 🤣) www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKD1...

So very cool. #dbatools & #PowerShellUniversal creating a dashboard enabling users to backup their databases and showing the current status. I also love that Jess explains some of the development process so that even if you're not a PowerShell expert you can still learn the steps to do this yourself
