Tips for Writing Cross-Platform PowerShell Code

I just spent a month updating one of our PowerShell modules to support Linux and MacOS. I learned a lot that I wanted to share with the community as cross-platform support becomes more and more important.

PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit Cancellation and Waitlist Procedure

Use a personal email address that you check regularly; corporate email systems tend to eat the waitlist notifications as spam. If we’re able to offer a spot to the waitlist, it’ll happen during the week, usually in the morning (US time), and you’ll have 24 hours to respond by purchasing a ticket.
