I’m incredibly proud to hit publish on my new edition of “The Microsoft DSC Handbook” After months of writing, this is a rewritten book with brand-new content! Featuring not one, but two forewords! Huge thanks to @jasonhelmick.bsky.social and @steve--lee.bsky.social ! leanpub.com/themicrosoft...

The kickoff of @powershellsummit.org week is off to an exceptional start! Too many fantastic #DevOps #PowerShell #Terraform and #Ansible sessions to mention, and it’s only Tuesday 😁 #PSHSummit #MVPBuzz
Congrats to @jborean.bsky.social for receiving the #PSHSummit26 Jeffrey Snover Innovation Award. As last year's winner I was proud to present it and it sure is nice that it happened to be for the person I voted for.
PSCommunityCall is cancelled this week in favor of PSSummit instead. Next Community Call is May!
