Azure Greg NewsLetter v37

This is the 37th edition of my newsletter - As always, thank you for reading.

This month is a Microsoft Build preview edition full of the best articles I come across in the past month. Whilst attending the MVP Summit I saw some sneak previews of some things that are coming around Azure and its safe to say Model Context Protocol is worth looking into, Also Agent Mode in Visual Studio Code is pretty impressive and keep your eyes peeled for some awesome things coming in the Azure Portal.

I am also delighted to share that I will be at Microsoft Build working in the Ask the Experts Area on the Cloud team.

Incase you were wondering where all these 3d images are coming from that you see on LinkedIn etc then this post by Brian Swiger has you covered - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/brianswiger_gpt4o-openai-chatgpt-activity-7314785524622188544-Tw75?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABLl6zsBmEdzMkRu8EeBzQs4ZnjySr8TFxg

I wanted to say thank you to everyone I met at the MVP Summit, its by far my favourite week of the year and in this edition of my newsletter, I’ll be covering the build up to Micrsoft Build.
