29. PowerShell & IaC with Azure DevOps
29. PowerShell, implementing Infrastructure as Code & succeed with Azure DevOps - with April Edwards
We talk with April Edwards, Senior Cloud Developer Advocate and DevOps practice lead at Microsoft, about her role and passion, and how great mentors help open doors for you or others. Together we reflect on some misconceptions about Microsoft, especially with regard to open source and the use of cross platform tooling, such as PowerShell. And has she seen a shift in the types of cloud services people use in recent years, when helping customers move from legacy to the cloud? We talk about the importance of implementing Infrastructure as Code and making it scalable. Furthermore, she highlights some elements that should not be overlooked if a company wants to successfully implement Azure DevOps.
