In this post I show you how to create an Azure DevOps build/release agent on Ubuntu 16.04 with Terraform.

Recently I was asked how many CPU cores were used in an Azure tenant. The intent of the question was to determine how many VMs could use the Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHUB) and to have a general number how many cores are in the cloud compared to onPrem. I thought that should be an easy exercise for Azure Resource Graph - and it is!
In this post I show you how I got the total count.

Have you ever sent a mail to hundreds of people because “Reply all” and send is so easy? Noticed that you forgot an attachment just right after you clicked on send? Or pressed ctrl+enter in an almost finished mail?
With one tiny change you have at least a chance to correct your mail and send it properly.

Today I learned how to set Docker Environment Variables directly in Visual Studio to ease my debugging experience.

I had to reset my Surface and reinstall every tool. That would be a very time consuming job - but it is 2019 - and can be automated very efficiently.
In this post, I show you how and what I install on every new PC I get with Chocolatey - with Azure in mind.

I took the AZ-200 beta exam last year and the exam did not make it out of beta. It was replaced with the AZ-203 exam. I am pretty sure that I did not meet the 70% threshold to be automatically credited with the AZ-203 certification. I had to learn for the AZ-201 certification anyways. Update (18.01.2019): I did pass AZ-200, but it was not enough to get credited for AZ-203.

This will be a quick one: In this post I show you how to purge/empty an Azure CDN during an Azure DevOps deployment.

Yesterday I noticed, that my blog did not have the very best urls for my posts than I could have - my last post had the url /post/2018-12-29-Recapping-2018/ and actually I thought it would (and should!) produce something like this: /2018/12/Recapping-2018-90-days-at-Microsoft/ After changing the urls to the correct schema (more in a bit) I noticed that the yearly (e.g. /2018) or monthly (e.g. /2018/12) links do not work at all.

In this post, I show you how I fixed those problems.

2018 was literally flying by - and was awesome. I had never ever so many changes in my life than in 2018 - and here are the notable ones!

This will be a short one: In this post I show how to use Logic Apps to monitor a file for changes - if the file was changed, send it via email as attachment.
