Jaap Brasser (@Jaap_Brasser) - Azure Functions, the DevOps way! You’re using Azure Functions, now the next step is… how can we make sure that everything runs as intended when it’s deployed. Using proper CI/CD pipelines can be beneficial but hard to setup. Join us in this session to learn about the power of automated pipelines to create PowerShell Azure Functions, faster, more efficient and with more power!

Brett Miller (@BrettMiller_IT) - Migrating the Unmigratable! What do you do when you need to migrate and modernize a ton of Azure resources with zero downtime? You’ve probably heard of Azure functions, but maybe you’re not sure where to get started or what you can do with them. Maybe you use Azure functions but aren’t using them to their full capability. This session will show you how you can use PowerShell and Azure functions to manage your Azure resources. From there, we will dive into an advanced real-life migration scenario utilising Azure Functions and PowerShell to automate the migration of thousands of Azure resources with zero downtime.

The PowerShell Standards Agency – Write better code for Everybody

Paul Broadwith will be talking about writing quality code. There’s the quick way or there’s the right way. In this session we will look at good practices and standards to follow when writing PowerShell to make it easier for you and others to trust and reuse your code.

By the end of this session you’ll have a guide to being a better PowerShell citizen, following best practices and sharing your code with others.

Become a member of the PowerShell Standards Agency* (Not a real thing) and write better code for Everybody.

Paul: I’m a Senior Technical Engineer for Chocolatey Software, Inc., living and working in Scotland. I’ve worked in IT for over 25 years now. As somebody kindly put it, I’ve been about a bit. I love to automate through PowerShell and I love to teach others the same.

Session 2

Power BI and PowerShell - A Match Made in Heaven

Power BI is the shiny new tech for processing and visualizing data in the Microsoft Data Platform. However, the plumbing in the background does need managing (even if it is cloud-based and supposedly automagic).

In this session we will take a look at how to manage your datasets, security, monitor licensing and more, all through the ultimate administration interface: PowerShell!

You’ll leave the session with an overview of the management capabilities of Power BI and couple that knowledge with the awesome power (and automation possibilities) of PowerShell

Craig is a Microsoft certified Data Engineer working with Incremental Group. He has more than 10 years working with the Microsoft Data Platform and related technologies, supporting global BI Environments, automating processes with PowerShell and implementing BI Solutions.

Developing and Testing Cross Platform Compatible Modules with PowerShell Core

Mark Wragg’s session will look at some of the considerations you need to make when authoring PowerShell code that you want to run successfully on multiple platforms via PSCore, along with how you can leverage a CI service like AppVeyor to test your code works successfully on both Windows and Linux.

Mark Wragg is a DevOps Engineer at XE.com. He has been using PowerShell since 2013 and recently contributed a chapter on Pester testing to the PowerShell Conference Book. He blogs at wragg.io and is @markwragg on Twitter.

Getting Started with a DSC Pipeline

Gael Colas

The understanding of DSC as a technology is rarely enough to get started. DSC is a great tool for configuring servers, but out of the box, it might be hard to know where to start.

In order to avoid the ‘blank page syndrome’, we’ll discover how you can get started quickly by bootstrapping your pipeline.

This session will focus on the basic concepts of a pipeline for infrastructure, how it applies to DSC, and how to build the DSC Artefacts consistently to improve trust in those.

Ideally, if you bring your laptop and we get a network connection, you can try for yourself and follow along, it’s that easy!

The demo/code part will focus on creating re-usable components (DSC Composite Resources leveraging existing DSC Resources), and assembling them in roles to apply to nodes. This will allow us to compile MOFs for as many nodes as we need, along with Meta MOFs and Packaging modules for Pull server.

You don’t need any VM for this, only WMF 5.1 and your preferred IDE (i.e. ISE or VSCODE).

I prefer vscode as it allows editing Yaml and JSON files natively.

We won’t apply those MOFs or cover the PULL and PUSH models, as it was been mentioned by Iain in March’s session, and is not needed for this part anyway.

Session 2

Automating everything with Microsoft Flow

Microsoft Flow is a great workflow automation tool, but most likely PowerShell is not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Flow. In this session I will show how to integrate Microsoft Flow in PowerShell scripts and vice-versa and to highlight the benefits that this provide. This demo-heavy session will feature a lot of PowerShell code and live demos.
