AWS now supports DSC, with some major improvements. No need to manage certificates or compile MOFs for each server. Store credentials in Secrets Manager, and use substitution tokens from EC2 tags or SSM Parameters to resolve values and creds at runtime aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/run-c…
#DSC poll: if DSC resources written in PowerShell (not Python) could be run natively on Linux/Mac, what would your major use cases be?
@juneb_get_help Get-Verb is your friend :) since you're using a data grid view, I'd vote for "initialize"
No announcement yet it seems, but nuget just got the Microsoft.PowerShell.NanoServer.NetCore.Library package. PowerShell in .Net Core apps!
For the next three days I'm only following the #pshsummit hashtag and nothing else. Sad I missed the welcome but excited about tomorrow!
Server Ranch: when you have multiple cloud server farms in two or more regions and you load balance between them for HA.
#PSProTip if you want to really quickly raise an exception for testing something, just type 1/0 and it raises a divide by zero exception.
Anyone know of any ACTIVE #PowerShell user groups in Seattle? I've recently relocated and can't seem to find any...
#Protip if you *need* a GUI file manager on Server Core, type notepad.exe and click "Open". Boom, file manager.
Dammit, Nano Server's first day and I'm sunbathing on a beach holiday with almost unusable WiFi. Same thing happened with 2012 R2s launch :(
@DevOpsGuys #DevOpsMovies The Deep Blue Screen, Frozen, Get-Shorty, ISE Age
Can't wait for EU #PSHSummit, all these posts are such a tease!
Today we decommed SCCM, after replacing it with 8 PS scripts, a SQL DB and 6 SQL reports. You'd be surprised what this combo can do!
With confirmation from @jsnover that 2008R2 and Win7 are getting WMF5, its time for a celebration of the finest kind!
Someone told me they were "at my disposal" today. Made me feel like I was "using" them...
@xvorsx @fdibot @Lee_Holmes There should be a contest for who can recreate the PowerShell logo in the coolest way. This would be fun :)
Yay! I'm a speaker for the EU #PSSummit 2015! I'll be doing 2 sessions: Http-based web scripting and using PowerShell in baremetal builds :)
@juneb_get_help I can't possibly express my love for PowerShell in a single tweet. It would take a 10,000 word sonnet. At least.
@juneb_get_help #Protip Use Write-Verbose instead of comments whenever you explain WHAT you are doing, use Comments to explain the WHY.
Updated DSCDesigner! Fixed icon bugs and added wave 8. 53 new resources! Clear your temp files and recheck it out! thedevopsmachine.com
