Just hit 8k subscribers on YouTube!

Hope everyone is having fun at #DDDMelb! Lots of great speakers delivering talks today, good luck to you all!

You can now bring your own custom VNETs when deploying AKS Automatic clusters! In this video, I show you how you can deploy AKS Clusters with VNETs using Bicep: youtu.be/NY28RELKVCs?... #MVPBuzz #AKS #Kubernetes #Azure

Most people don't know this but Ancient Rome was fully remote until Julius Caesar implemented a return to office program and well you know what happened next

Hump day reminder: It's always DNS

After a bit of a break, I've published my first YouTube video this year! In this video, I show you how to create an Azure Kubernetes Service lab environment that you can use for your own learning: youtu.be/iHI2M-TJefk #mvpbuzz #kubernetes #azure #aks

TIL that if you want to use a pipeline trigger in Azure DevOps, and that pipeline isn't in your main branch, you need to update the default branch for it to kick off after a successful build: learn.microsoft.com/azure/devops...

The whole crowd singing THAT line 😂😂 #SuperbowlLIX

Hello non-technical people. Just a heads up. Musk isn’t a programmer, a systems architect, or anyone with experience building or running large systems of any kind. However, he’s taken credit for others binding large systems which makes him think he’s That Guy. He is not.

It's a been a while since I've used Spotify, but man that product has fallen off! I've never seen a product become so bad in such a short time

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Whoever came up with the term "fun run" needs to take a good long hard look at themselves #carltonfc #afl #funrun #blisters

Beautiful morning for a fun run with @museofmythology.bsky.social - Going to be a very warm jog around the park 😅

Impromptu breakdancing contest. I have one good ankle and "Don't sweat the technique" on viynl. Who thinks they can take me on?

I cannot tell you how much joy as a consultant it gives me when a client has a DevBox I can use. So much time is wasted during onboarding without it.

What the heck duolingo? 😂😂

Just caught up on highlights for the Arsenal Wolves game. How is that a red card for MLS?! That has to be the worse decision I've ever seen a ref make

HTTP application routing in #Azure Kubernetes Services is retiring in favor of the Application Routing add-on. For guidance on migration, check out this resource: learn.microsoft.com/azure/aks/ap... #MVPBuzz

In Azure, route tables are created for each subnet along with default system routes. We can override these using custom routes to control our network traffic. In this article, I explain how it works, and show you how to define custom routes using Bicep: www.willvelida.com/posts/vnet-t... #MVPBuzz

Even more integrations coming from the .NET Aspire Community Toolkit, we've got SQLite hosting (www.nuget.org/packages/Com...), client (www.nuget.org/packages/Com...), and ef (www.nuget.org/packages/Com...) in preview! Hosting integration creates a new empty database and gives a web GUI option too

In large-scale architectures, we need to connect different parts of their VNets. This connectivity is achieved through VNet peering. In this blog post, I talk about what VNet Peering is, its features, and how we can configure peerings in our Bicep code: www.willvelida.com/posts/vnet-p... #MVPBuzz

Microsoft Learn have released a new learning path for "Designing and Implementing Platform Engineering" - This path covers the principles of Platform Engineering, and how you can build platforms that enhance DevEx, operational excellence etc. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/traini... #MVPBuzz

Hot air balloons over Melbourne this morning. Even though heights isn't my thing, I'd love to do this one day.

If you're joining us from #TikTok, welcome! It's a big quiet here, but that will change as the platform grows! If you love tech or want to learn more about software engineering and the cloud, let's be friends!

Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.

Just a chill guy at the Australian Open

Being an Arsenal fan is a roller-coaster. We're a great team, and sacking Arteta would be stupid. But we're not going to win the title without a number 9, and this is going to keep happening until we do.

My Influencers, Community & Events team is hiring a Sr Program Manager to run user group networks & help with the MVP Program. Must be US based. Must be/have community experience with UG leaders, MVP, Super Users... That has to be reflected on your resume. jobs.careers.microsoft.com/global/en/jo...

Another beautiful morning here in Victoria

If you're renting a car in Melbourne, stay away from Hertz - A lot of inconvenient fine print stuff that they don't make clear when renting the car, which made the process painful.

I'm not the biggest Tennis fan in the world, but nothing makes me happier than watching Medvedev lose his temper like the giant manbaby that he is: www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis...

Okay, here it is. 7500ish words on how the narrative that Zuck spread on Rogan is bullshit, but partly it's because Rogan was too incurious to actually listen to what Zuck was saying, and Zuck didn't want to correct him. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/16/r...
