Many developers, including myself, advocate for a code-first approach to development, an approach that can offer significant advantages to no-code/low code development in numerous scenarios. If you're unfamiliar with this concept, don’t worry; I’ll start with a quick introduction to explain why it matters. From there, we’ll dive deeper into the capabilities of notebooks in Microsoft Fabric. A notebook is far more than just a code file; It is a powerful development tool that enables efficient problem-solving, streamlines workflows, and enhances maintainability. I’ll demonstrate lesser-known tricks to make your development process smoother and your maintenance efforts more intuitive. And if you or your crew is new to pySpark, don't worry: I'll give you an insight on how to get on board for this in a relatively short time. Agenda: 12.45 - 13:00 : Speaker Setup and Join 13:00 - 13:05 : Open Lobby to guests and Introductions 13:05 - 14:00 : Microsoft Fabrics Notebook Deep Dive with Kay Sauter

In this demo session, attendees will see how to automate the deployment of SQL Server virtual machines (VMs) using PowerShell on Azure. I explain various PowerShell cmdlets for creating and configuring VMs efficiently and to adapt it for your own setup. Additionally, I will showcase how to use dbatools, a powerful PowerShell module for SQL Server automation, to restore databases with ease. By the end of the session, participants will know a DevOps approach for deploying SQL Server VMs and restoring databases for this. This session is ideal for database administrators working with Azure VMs with PowerShell.

DESCRIPTION of TALK

Title: Deep dive into the ARM Structure with PowerShell

This session is designed for specialists with some knowledge of both PowerShell and Azure. I will show you the benefits of browsing the ARM Structure for Services on Azure with PowerShell. This will benefit you for understanding the ARM structure, which is the background for the usage of Bicep, Terraform, Ansible and so on. With PowerShell, you have the possibility to really understand what is going on under the hood when you are using Bicep (or other languages).

This is going to be a demo of browsing and understanding the mechanisms and will be relatively fast paced. I will not only show concepts, but also show code that can be used in practice instead of Bicep.

*****IMPORTANT - THIS IS A NOON EST MEETING!!!***** Kay Sauter is joining us from Switzerland to present for us so we're trying something new and trying a 12:00 PM meeting time! Abstract: This PowerShell demo provides a step-by-step guide on how to create a SQL Server virtual machine on Microsoft Azure with minimal manual intervention. It covers the configuration of the VM, the installation of SQL Server and other required software, and the restoration of databases from backup files. The presentation is designed for anyone who wants to quickly set up a SQL Server environment on Azure for testing, development, or demonstration purposes. Agenda: 12:00 PM EST - Since we're doing an hour lunchtime presentation we'll skip the normal half hour of networking and jump straight into the presentation as quickly as we can.
