Next stop: the world’s second best city, Bergen, for 2026.cloudnativedays.no!

Sunday blogging: 2nd part in a series on building control planes with Crossplane: trond.sjovang.no/posts/crossp...

And now with more features! timelines to show how a definition has changed over time. e.g lz-diff-reports.liasis.dev/timelines/al... shows what changed, and in which release "Enforce Azure Compute Security Benchmark compliance auditing" was updated #azure #alz #mvpbuzz

Do you enjoy reading through diffs of files when you're updating your Azure Landing Zones and want to not break things and ruin weekends? Me neither! So I made a little app to make it a bit easier and more human-friendly: trond.sjovang.no/posts/evalua... #alz #azure #azure-landing-zones #mvpbuzz

oh no, deadline creeping closer, better finish (read: start) this powerpoint thing… would be really neat if my demo env had <feature>… … and I should add <another feature>… oh! this new stuff is really nice. I should add that … (many hours later) shit! better finish (read: start) powerpoint

Put my Azure credits and GitHub copilot tokens to good use and decided to figure out how to run Umami.is on Azure Container Apps: trond.sjovang.no/posts/self-h...

Woop woop! Renewed for another year! #mvpbuzz

hrmmfff! played around with the new @github.com Copilot app and lovable.dev and now I have an urge to refactor the whole website (again)

Spent 1/3 of my monthly GH Copilot tokens to update write.liasis.dev to make it (in theory) somewhat useable for others. Now I have 25.000 lines of code and still no clue how this thing actually works

All vibes, no QA, still have concerns about this whole thing, but "I" "made" a little web app so I can write blog posts in peace without using Sanity studio: trond.sjovang.no/posts/all-vi... (and I bet there are so many bad things in there you probably should not use it yourself)

All these CEO's claiming their AI-models are on the verge of superintelligence makes more sense to me now #rubberducking

I think this whole "AI" thing might be contagious. After spending a week at #mvpsummit I got this delusional idea to create a web app for focused writing (because living in sanity studio isn't very fun)

Why oh why isn’t this thing called «Robocopilot» ? Missed opportunity! #mvpbuzz #mvpsummit

Woop woop! #mvpsummit #mvpbuzz

Replacing Terraform (for fun and profit?) trond.sjovang.no/posts/replac...

It’s pretty funny that you can tell every AI agent to create an image of a tree and it will spot out a pretty good and realistic tree. But if you want a relatively simple 2D SVG illustration it suddenly have zero concept of how trees look like until you force feed it a bunch of SVG examples

crawled into the Harry Potter bedroom (the storage under the stairs), retrieved a NUC that has been powered off for a year(++), installed linux on it, figured out which config mgmt tools to (not) use, and now: build labs with pyinfra.com for fun and learning

Ugh! Here we go again? socket.dev/blog/shai-hu...

The more I dig in #msgraph the stranger it gets. Like what: "The type of the request. Use adminAdd to add a resource, if the caller is an administrator or resource owner, adminUpdate to update a resource, or adminRemove to remove a resource." Why not just use HTTP POST, PATCH and DELETE? 🤷‍♂️

Ever got a bit frustrated because you couldn't configure role settings for your Entra ID roles in PIM with Terraform? Well now you can stop being frustrated and solve it with this weeks latest release of the msgraph-provider: trond.sjovang.no/posts/config... #terraform #entraid #mvpbuzz

A lot of very nice improvements in v.0.2 to make the terraform provider for msgraph even more useful! - retry and timeout configuration - update_resource, resource_collection and resource_action to cover more api endpoints github.com/microsoft/te... #mvpbuzz #terraform #msgraph

I often manage to snag some good deals through Humblebundle, and now Packt has hooked us up with a great bundle for cloud professionals! So why not level up your knowledge while also supporting a good cause? #MVPBuzz #CloudNativeAmbassador www.humblebundle.com/books/cloud-...

Anyone else see a 404 and/or certificate error on some Azure static web apps today? #mvpbuzz

yes, yes, it might be dangerous to push to prod on a Friday, but have you tried eating something with red sauce while wearing a white t-shirt?

registry.terraform.io/providers/ha... doesn't have a resource for connected organizations, but with registry.terraform.io/providers/mi... we can just create a small module to deploy the connection and external/internal sponsors: registry.terraform.io/modules/sjov... #mvpbuzz #entraid #msgraph

Being in Montmartre for the last stage today was WILD! The narrowest little cobblestone street packed with people and the amazing backdrop of Sacré-Cæur #tdf #letour

nice! preview of the new msgraph provider for Terraform is available: github.com/microsoft/te... The provider is similar to azapi and act as a thin wrapper on top of the msgraph rest api. Which means we can now use Terraform for a lot of configuration that is missing from terraform-provider-azuread

This container thing in macOS Tahoe is pretty neat github.com/apple/contai... And it’s already in homebrew so you can just run `brew install container` to test it out (if you have a spare macbook to run early developer betas that is. Don’t upgrade a computer you actually need for important things)

Having a monday off work is dangerous. Before you know it you have decided your summer vacation plans needs improvement and booked flights, train and hotels for a couple of days in London before catching the final stage of Tour de France in Paris 💸

It’s a wrap! #mvpsummit is over. Time to recharge the social battery, figure out how to make room for all the new swag in the bag, and start working on these sweet new things the rest of the world will hear about soon

Essential sightseeing in Seattle before #mvpsummit kicks off on monday

hrmf! this is worrying: github.com/hashicorp/te... So, what is your favorite tool for managing EntraID configuration as code?

Oh wow! The aurora borealis tonight is WILD!

Finally had a bit of free time to play with these new modules … and wheeee! The decision to use the azapi provider makes deployments so much faster, and the pattern of just using the modules you need feels so much better than the complexity of the caf-enterprise-scale mega-module
