I am a #Python developer of a decade or so, with four years of data engineering experience on #AWS and #Azure, looking for work anywhere in #Aotearoa #NZ #NewZealand . Here is my CV: https://zacharyspector.com

hot off #KubeCon: #Dapr has been approved for #CNCF graduation!

Congrats to #Microsoft #Azure team which founded and contributed it and lead it, Diagrid who also lead it and all involved

How to Await an #Octopus Task in #Azure #DevOps - #dotNet

https://improveandrepeat.com/2024/10/how-to-await-an-octopus-task-in-azure-devops/

Turns out Azure's 10 hour long mega outage yesterday was the result of a DDoS cyber attack.
And the attackers did it just hours before Microsoft's reports quarterly earnings.
And 2 weeks after CrowdStrike.
Man, that Earning Day must've been tough

Recent #cybersecurity incident around #CrowdStrike and #Windows #Azure shows the problem around monocultures and control over its one technology.

It is important for Europe to evaluate own dependencies and support administrations, business and citizens alike to run secure IT. For this #softwarefreedom plays an important role.

A buggy update to #CrowdStrike Falcon made Windows PCs and servers crash—globally.

Airlines, stock markets, TV networks, banks and more have suffered huge outages this morning. A security service from #CrowdStrike is to blame, apparently.

It seems to have affected #Microsoft365 and #Azure cloud services, too. In #SBBlogwatch, we look for the silver lining.

Great keynote by Ross Gardler at #OSSummit sharing #Microsoft’s open source evolution, and the innovation engine project that’s driving improvements in docs and #Azure Copilot.

Hello #Azure, have you learned nothing about treating URLs as idempotent?

Instead you just COMPLETELY change the content of an article.

Impressive to see how .NET adopted #OpenTelemetry, including the newly ratified semantic conventions for HTTP.
And how #Microsoft App Insights pushed OTLP instrumentation (the OpenTelemetry native protocol) across #Azure services.

#CloudEvents open specification has reached graduation at the #CNCF
The spec has been adopted by #Adobe I/O Events, #AlibabaCloud EventBridge, #Azure Event Grid, #GoogleCloud Eventarc, #IBMCloud Code Engine, the European Commission and more.
And of course it's been adopted by CNCF projects, such as #Argo, #Falco, #Harbor, and #Knative.
The beauty is that it fits in nicely with existing eventing infrastructure, so I expect more adopters to follow

Can't get myself to stop hating on #Azure when they think this is acceptable:

Kubernetes made simple? #Microsoft adds AI toolchain operator to

Well, maybe not simple--some things are impossible--but certainly a lot easier. #Kubernetes

Any advice on what to ask from our System Infrastructure team now that our shared drive structure is migrated to #Azure?

We've lost the ability to click on email embedded (current)shared drive links within emails.

Help desk response is to manually navigate for each linked file/folder sending us back to early 2000s from a user perspective.

Detail: SharePoint implementation is 9 months late with no new deadline.
