What’s up with DSCv3 with @steve--lee.bsky.social

The kickoff of @powershellsummit.org week is off to an exceptional start! Too many fantastic #DevOps #PowerShell #Terraform and #Ansible sessions to mention, and it’s only Tuesday 😁 #PSHSummit #MVPBuzz

Congrats to @jborean.bsky.social for receiving the #PSHSummit26 Jeffrey Snover Innovation Award. As last year's winner I was proud to present it and it sure is nice that it happened to be for the person I voted for.

PSCommunityCall is cancelled this week in favor of PSSummit instead. Next Community Call is May!

Ever wondered how you can speed up the discovery process of your PowerShell DSC resources through Microsoft's DSC engine? I wrote a short blog post on a new feature that introduced "adapted resource manifests": www.idontlikeai.dev/how-adapted-... Shoutout to @steve--lee.bsky.social for the work!
