PowerShell articles, tutorials, and guides from community experts.
I’ve decided to bring #PSBlogWeek back! Brush off those PowerShell blogs and grease up those typing fingers….wait..don’t do that but at least stretch a little bit. If you’d like to write a great article on PowerShell on your blog to help contribute great content and get yourself some notoriety, #PSBlogWeek is how it’s done. For full details, head over to my blog where I’ve outlined everything or head directly over to psblogweek.
It’s been a long road, but we’re almost there! A couple of weeks ago we looked at how we can create an Azure Automation Account and add our own custom modules to the solution to be used in Azure Automation. Last week, we took a deeper dive into configuring a runbook to take in webhook data from an alert using Microsoft’s Operations Management Suite. Then we looked into the data itself to see how we can leverage it against our runbook to fix problems for us on the fly.
There’s been a lot of discussion on the Summit Slack channel around people proposing sessions for the 2018 Summit. I thought an explanation of how we put the agenda together would be useful for anyone thinking about submitting sessions. First off though – if you’re thinking about submitting a session for the 2018 Summit then JUST DO IT! We are reserving a number of sessions for new speakers, as we always do.
So last time we learned how to upload our custom modules into Azure Automation so we can start using them in Azure Automation Runbooks. This week we’re going to take a look at configuring a runbook to see what kind of data we can ingest from OMS Webhook data, and how we can leverage that data to pass into our functions. Creating the Runbook Script So first off, let’s talk about basic runbooks and running them against objects in Azure.
The PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit 2018 will be returning to the Meydenbauer center, Bellevue WA on 9-12 April 2018. PowerShell, and DevOps, experts from all over the world, including PowerShell team members, will once again join together to discuss and learn about maximizing PowerShell in the workplace in fast-paced, knowledge packed presentations. The Summit’s also the place to explore and further your knowledge of DevOps principles and practices in a Windows environment, make new connections, learn new techniques, and offer something to your peers and colleagues.
Automation and scripting has become a major part of IT in recent years. And PowerShell has played a giant role in the progression of that. Every year, the wonderful people at PowerShell.org put on the PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit, that always produces outstanding results from amazing speakers and attendees. As many of you in IT know, convincing your manager to attend conferences usually depends on a few key factors: Cost and budget, content, and sometimes, experience or seniority in the company.
Microsoft’s Operations Management Suite provides some exceptional tools for monitoring and maintaining your environments in both the cloud and in your datacenter. One of it’s best features, however, is its ability to leverage the tools that you’ve already developed to perform tasks and remediate issues using PowerShell, Azure Automation Runbooks, and OMS Alert triggers. In this series, we’ll be discussing how you can configure these tools to take care of problems in your own environment.
The planning for Summit 2018 has started – to be honest it started before Summit 2017 opened. We’ve reached the stage where we need to start thinking about the broad topics for PowerShell Summit 2018. What do you want to hear about? Not the session titles, content and speakers but the broad areas of content you want us to include. We can’t actually promise to cover everything requested because we’re dependent on whats submitted when we open our call for topics towards the end of the month.
I recently decided to ‘up my game’ with powershell and go beyond the simple scripts I’ve rolled out in the past. So I simply want to share with you, the path I took to enhance my skills (inc. alot of practice) Books: Learn Powershell In A Month of Lunches Learn Powershell Toolmaking in a month of Lunches Windows Powershell In Action 3rd Edition Online: Advanced Tools And Scripting with Powershell 3.
