• Introducing the third of three Microsoft Clouds: Azure. 4 major sections of the Cloud Models are:
  • On-Premises: As you start on the left in the traditional on-prem configuration you are responsible for all layers of IT from the networking stack all the way up to the applications which are being provided. You may also be responsible for the data center, power, Internet service, and other underlying aspects.
  • Infrastructure as a Service: In IaaS (Take & Bake) the cloud vendor is responsible for the stack from networking through virtualization and your IT team is responsible for the Operating System (OS) through the applications. Common uses of IaaS are testing environments, development environments or hosting of a website.
  • Platform as a Service: In PaaS (Pizza Delivered) the cloud vendor is responsible for the networking layers through the runtime layer and your IT team is responsible for the data and the applications. PaaS is commonly used to test, build and deploy applications for an organization.
  • Software as a Service: In SaaS (Dining Out) the cloud vendor is responsible for all layers from the networking through to the application layer. A common example of SaaS is a web-based email service such as Outlook, Hotmail or Gmail.

Mobile Apps

• Visual Studio App Center VS Azure Pipelines
• itnext.io: How to setup CI CD pipelines for Android with Azure DevOps At Royale Cheese initially we had setup CI/CD for Android via Microsoft’s Visual Studio App Center (an upgrade of Hockey App), but last year they declared the retirement of MBaas which got us worried about the overall future of VS App Center. That was one of the reasons we wanted to switch away from it. Secondly, the free tier provided around 400 minutes of build time per month per account which would had been sufficient for other technologies, but Android takes around 15 minutes to create a single build and deploy. We all know what gradle is capable of 😉. So having multiple apps (both iOS and Android) in the same account didn’t fare well.

Crescendo powershell module

• Crescendo is an experimental module developed by Jim Truher, one of the main developers of PowerShell. Crescendo provides a framework to rapidly develop PowerShell cmdlets that wrap native commands, regardless of platform. The goal of a Crescendo-based module is to create PowerShell cmdlets that use a native command-line tool, but unlike the tool, return PowerShell objects instead of plain text.

In other words, PowerShell DSC uses PowerShell to programmatically configure your Windows-based computers. Additionally, DSC can monitor the state of the configured resources to make sure your machines stay consistent. Along with monitoring, DSC can also automatically correct the configuration of your system, so it’s always in the desired state. PowerShell != PowerShell DSC
