Azure Greg NewsLetter v33

This is the 33rd edition of my newsletter - As always, thank you for reading. Summer was here in Scotland today, lets hope it hangs around!

I am happy to say I have started blogging again and in the midst of writing up some blog posts on the work I have been doing lately - I have been a busy boy working on lots of projects and writing Bicep for a while now and this latest project is no touch deployment so every single thing is deployed using Bicep including all config settings etc - more on that soon,

I haven’t written a newsletter for some weeks, I have been too busy with work, working on lots of different Azure projects writing lots of Bicep, helping customers with their Azure questions, and more.

Next month I am taking part in the Scottish golf pairs 2024 so looking forard to that! - won this twice many moons ago and looking forward to taking oart again.

Who will be attending this year’s Microsoft Ignite in Chicago? - If so I hope I can attend and say hello :)

In October I will attend the Scottish Summit in Aberdeen, Scotland, and host an Ask the Azure Experts Panel with Jonah Andersson, Sarah Lean, Leo Visser, Rex de Koning, and Hamida Rebai - I am very much looking forward to this!

Career Tips and Advice

• Try to do things yourself, first, then seek help. You learn more by doing more things yourself and asking for help once you’ve explored avenues.
