Bit early for this? Or am I just getting old and grumpy 🤔 (I don't need an answer to that....) #Xmas2025 #ItsAugust

The last #Lions2025 tourist to leave Australia?! About to fly out of Brisbane after a month of awesome memories with family, and a bit of Rugby and AFL thrown in for good measure! And yes, I did bring other clothes 😜 Back to reality from Monday! #Australia2025 #Memories

Ready to roar at a very wet Accor Stadium Sydney (and yes, I am wearing an #Azure #MVPbuzz jacket!!!) #Lions2025

Renewed as an MVP for #Azure. Thanks to Microsoft for the recognition, and the tech community who support me and allow me to contribute to various events over the year, but also to the friendships that have been made along the way. Here's to another year! #MVPbuzz

It's Sourdough Sunday 😋 #MVPMasterBaker

I'm speaking at India Cloud Security Summit 2025 on "50 Ways to Secure your Azure". The recent wave of cyber attacks mean securing cloud environments should be top of mind for every organisation. 📅 12 July 2025 🔗 lnkd.in/dZitZkdx #ICSS2025 #Azure #Security #MVPbuzz

Ready to roar 🦁 #Lions2025

Well, this aged well.... Congrats to Spurs, better team and well deserved. Think Amorin choked more than the players did #MUFC

My 13yo son has just told me that I am "definitely not Skibidi". Unsure whether to be miffed or take this as a compliment. I'm getting old, aren't I....

Oh Rory... I really hope not, but this has "Tied 12th" written all over it, doesn't it? #rory #themasters

Have been engrossed in the Masters all day (and whether Rory will collapse or not). Just put the dog out and noticed that summer has officially ended in Ireland for another year #Heatwave #PutTheShortsAwayForAnotherYear

Yuki needs to start producing something and fast - 20th in FP3 is not a good look. Not missing the garage and not waving to your old team mates would be a good start. In saying that, it would be hilarious if he drove into the wrong pit stop at some point #F1

Back home from Seattle after an amazing week at #MVPSummit2025. It was great to catch up with friends and have good conversations with #Azure Product Teams. Huge credit to the events team for organizing a week long event across multiple sites. #MVPBuzz

Azure Spring Clean 2025 starts tomorrow! Get ready for a week of great content from our awesome community! My session on Azure FinOps is live at 10am GMT on Monday. The link to that plus the full schedule is at azurespringclean.com #AzureSpringClean #Azure #MVPBuzz

3 years after miserably failing this exam during beta, today was the day when I finally returned to conquer! Great exam with a good spread of questions across the entire Azure networking stack. #Azure #Networking #MVPBuzz #NeverStopLearning learn.microsoft.com/api/credenti...

"Lads, it's Spurs...." We're a long way from those glory days #mufc

2024 was a good year for me from a community speaking perspective, great to receive recognition from Sessionize. Always happy to share my thoughts on #Azure and #Security topic, look forward to more events in 2025 and beyond! #MVPbuzz #Sessionize #Community

We’re back for another year! #AzureSpringClean returns in March, and the CfS is now open azurespringclean.com

Learn KQL in 2025! Here's some fantastic resources to get started! The defacto standard manual for KQL from Microsoft Press: amzn.to/3C8OO01 Learn KQL in one month (2025 edition): amzn.to/3W88bgD Must Learn KQL (free entry learning): aka.ms/MustLearnKQL #MustLearnKQL #KQL

Morning update from the midlands! Too wet to stick. A flurry every few minutes, but nothing like the apocalyptic levels that were promised #sneachta #TheAppIsStillLyingToMe

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you? Let's be honest, if the Garvey sisters are coming for me, I might as well just give up....

It's pissing RAIN. The app has lied, as have all the weather reports. I work from home so it makes no odds to me, but wife and children are very upset that they're going to work/school on Monday, and the huge supply of bread, pasta and bog roll will go to waste... #sneachta

Its the final day of this year's Festive Tech Calendar. Thanks again to the organisers for this great community event! Check out my festive themed blog post on Azure FinOps here: tinyurl.com/mry3uywd #Azure #Budgets #MVPBuzz #FestiveTechCalendar2024

And so the de-christmas-fication of the house starts with the outside lights before they get blown away in the next storm

Think I've finally reached the point where I've have enough of cheese, crackers and chutney.

Time to start drinking the nice wines that we were "saving up in case people called over Christmas" #XmasExcess #Leftovers #MyDietStartsSoon

Here's my 2024 Rewind, by Coauthor.studio: The most valuable knowledge comes from hands-on experience shared openly. To everyone implementing, learning, and sharing knowledge - thanks for making this community special. #Azure #MVPbuzz #2024Review #CommunityRocks

Opening night at the Panto .... Proud Dad watching my girl in the show 😊 #PantoSeason #ProudDad

Christmas Tree Decoration time reminds me every year that I store far too much crap in my attic and need to hire a skip in January #XmasDecorations #AtticDump

Dog protesting at how early this is happening this year.... #Xmas2024 #ItsStillNovember

Quick blog post (my first one in ages!!) with my highlights of the Azure focused annoucements from Microsoft Ignite 2024 #Azure #MSIgnite #MVPBuzz

In Preview - Azure Migrate business case enables customers to create a detailed comparison of the TCO for their on-premises estate versus TCO on Azure, along with a YoY cash flow analysis as they transition workloads to Azure. #Azure #Migrate #AzureArc #MVPbuzz #MSIgnite

#OneDrive now supports setting expiration dates for internal and external file-sharing links. Administrators can set default limits, but training is advised. Read more https://bit.ly/4i23Ogj#OneDrive#Microsoft #Internal #External #Sharing #ExpirationDays

Had someone just message me at work, going you don't know me, but thanks for saving my ****, with a blog article I wrote a few years ago! Articles don't always need to be new fancy tech, blog about the issues you run into and their fix! It's just as important, you will thank your future self.

Really interesting to hear @markrussinovich.bsky.social talking about Azure Confidential Clean Rooms just now - designed for secure multi-party data collaboration. and sharing of sensitive data such as PII, protected health information (PHI) and cryptographic secrets. #azure #security #MVPbuzz

Now GA - Azure Local brings the power of Azure compute and platform services to customers' distributed and on-premises locations, addressing both mission critical and cloud-native applications like AI with flexibility and scalability. #azure #arc #security #MVPbuzz

Now GA - general availability of the Los Angeles Azure Extended Zone. Good to see this going into GA and hopefully will provide a pathway for future AEZ's in other locations. Learn more about Azure Extended Zones below: #azure #mvpbuzz

Now GA - Azure Bastion Premium offers enhanced security features such as private connectivity and graphical recordings of virtual machines connected through Bastion. #azure #security #mvpbuzz

Public Preview - Network Security Perimeter allows organizations to define a logical network isolation boundary for PaaS resources (for example, Azure Storage acoount and SQL Database server) that are deployed outside your organization’s virtual networks. #azure #networking #security #mvpbuzz

Some really cool annoucements and amazing new features coming out from the #Azure #Networking team at #MSIgnite #MVPbuzz

After last night's self inflicted "Man vs Food" challenge, today's run was going to be interesting. Never thought I'd be running a sub 30 min 5k. Maybe I need to go to TGI Fridays for the extra protein more often 😜 Or maybe not... In fairness, conditions were good (no wind, flat route, mild etc).

Safe travels to everyone attending #MSIgnite! I'm attending virtually this year and its great to see that in the firehose of AI/Copilot, the sessions listed below are dedicated to core cloud infrastructure (#Networking, #Security, #Migrations) and #Azure focused solutions (#AVS , #AKS) #MVPbuzz

I've been using Bogus for years to create synthetic datasets. Turns out gpt-4o is ever better at it once you get the prompts dialed in. Created a product catalog generator in Python using it. Generates vectors too. Going to keep adding more. github.com/AzureCosmosD...

To cheer myself up about not attending #MSIgnite this year, I decided to try to eat a burger the same size as my head. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but now my belly really hurts... Tomorrow's run is going to hurt too... 🏃‍♂️

With #Microsoft Ignite 2024 taking place this week in Chicago, US, I created an automated feed you can subscribe to, to join those sharing from people around the world attending and posting! Please Like>Share>Post, and Pin to your feeds! #msignite #microsoftignite #entra bsky.app/profile/did:...
