Hi, I am currently working as a Platforms engineer for a software company. I have been working in this position for about an year now managing the company AWS cloud. From my interests and experiences, I feel the best path for me would be to go forward to become a DevOps engineer. Therefore, I'm thinking of getting a few certifications done. First one I have been thinking of doing is the AWS CCP. However, I have heard from a few places that this can be skipped to an associate level certification. Soo here I am wondering if I can straight away go do the AWS Certified SysOps Administrator - Associate exam. I am not seeing the AWS CCP certification as a prerequisite in the website for this SysOps exam either. So is this true, can the CCP can be skipped? Also would like to hear other certifications that could support my path. Thanks for your input. P.S: I am also thinking of studying for the Azure AZ900 exam after I complete one of the above AWS exams as I would like to get some exposure on Azure as well.

I'm unsure if I should study AWS or Azure. In my city in Sweden I find 200 jobs for AWS and 350 for Azure on the job database. I'm new to programming and only know Python and Java at high school level for reference. If I study AWS I will study Java and if I choose Azure I will study C# and basic Javascript. Do any of you have a suggestion on which cloudplatform to choose? Searching videos on YouTube it seems as if there's more videos on Java but perhaps it doesn't matter. I found BroCode to be excellent to learn basics for Python and Java. Update: I choose to study Azure. There's more job for Azure in Sweden and acording to an Azure consultant based in Sweden, most companies are centered around the Microsoft products; AD, AAD, Office 365 and Azure. The companies he meet that have a footprint in AWS are mostly looking to migrate to Azure.

I'm going to study 2 year in programming and I'm unsure what to choose. The educations I'm choosing between are one called "Front End Developer" and "Cloud Developer (Azure)". Azure are more popular in my country than AWS since most companies are centered around the Microsoft products; AD, AAD, Office 365 according to a consultant. Here's the courses in the included in these two educations: Cloud Developer (Azure) course content: Basic Concepts in Object-Oriented Programming Programming Language C# & Visual Studio Object-Oriented Analysis & Modeling with UML APIs and their structure The .NET Platform & .NET Core Application Development in C# .NET HTML5, CSS3 & Fundamentals of JavaScript Frameworks (React/Angular) & Web Security Azure Platform and Portal & Azure App Services Automating Azure with Azure CLI Cloud Databases & Cloud Storage Development Models: Waterfall, Agile, DevOps ASP.NET Core & Service Fabric Front End Developer course content: Web Development: Frontend Basic JavaScript Programming Web Communication User Experience and Interaction Design Web Frameworks for JavaScript Agile Project Methodology Advanced Web Development with JavaScript Packaging, Delivery, and Follow-up Specialization: Frontend, UX/UI From seeing these courses, what do you think are the benefits and disadvantages between these educations? I'm especially thinking about from stress, work life balance, amount of jobs etc.

Hi Guys, So im creating a new Device Configuraiton Profile for the New Edge browser, we currently have a chrome profile in place which ill be mirroring for Edge and one of the settings within that profile is called "Allow pages to send synchronous XHR requests during page dismissal" Now my quesition isnt a technical question, thankfully its just a general one about the setting. It states when you look on it underneath the description that: "This setting is temporary and will be removed in a future release" Purely just out of curioisty, can anyone found any date it may become end of life? As it may be somthing that i need to look into. I cant find anything myself. Would be greatly appreciatted. Thanks! -
Hi everyone! I'm struggling with some PowerShell script I'm making and I just can't get it to run through everything. So the idea is to import a CSV with the headers and referencing information as below: UserProfileName, ObjectID, Company, CountryOrRegion, Department, Title, Manager, ManagerObjectID I've made the below Powershell script based on the CSV headers: Connect-AzureAD # Get CSV content $CSVrecords = Import-Csv "C:\Book2.csv" -Delimiter "," # Create arrays for skipped and failed users $SkippedUsers = @() $FailedUsers = @() # Loop trough CSV records foreach ($CSVrecord in $CSVrecords) { $upn = $CSVrecord.UserPrincipalName $user = Get-AzureADUser -Filter $UserPrincipalName if ($user) { try{ $user | Set-AzureADUser -Company $CSVrecord.Company -Country $CSVrecords.CountryOrRegion -Department $CSVrecords.Department -Title $CSVrecords.Title Set-AzureADUserManager -ObjectId $CSVrecord.ObjectID -RefObjectId $CSVrecord.ManagerID } catch { $FailedUsers += $upnC Write-Warning "$upn user found, but FAILED to update." } } else { Write-Warning "$upn not found, skipped" $SkippedUsers += $upn } } # Array skipped users # $SkippedUsers # Array failed users # $FailedUsers I'm getting a failure where it picks up the user but fails to update them. Now I'm thinking It's the part I've highlighted in Blue that might be causing the issues... any help certainly welcome!

I have a partner who is willing to do a Build-to-suit (BTS) agreement to build a massive Azure data center on a 80acre property they own. They are doing this because it will help boost speeds in our region given no big 3 providers (Google/Amazon/Azure) are in our state. They need a direct contact to the corporate connection at Microsoft to submit a Request-for-proposal (RFP) to have negotiations start. Does anyone here on this forum know of someone or someway to reach that particular department/team that manages that type of request? It’s similar to how folks who own property would submit a details to cellular providers to have them lease a antenna. Please PM if you know a person, but if you know a Microsoft website or email please post it or PM me. -
Hi All, https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/mcp/forum/mcp_cert-mcp_retire/what-is-the-replacement-of-mcsa-windows-server/a13a2f02-efc4-4d37-94cb-bc56f3f46b87 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-learn-blog/mcsa-mcsd-mcse-certifications-retire-with-continued-investment/ba-p/1489670 I'm currently working towards my MCSA Windows Server 2016 Certificate and was curious of the replacement. Then found a post on the plan with Microsoft moving to Microsoft Role Based Certification instead of re-making new MCSA replacements from retired ones. I agree with all the comments on that post. In my opinion, this is a really bad move for Microsoft. Especially when corporations still have System Admin positions, Network Admins, Security Admins. Not all corporations are moving to Azure. But I would like to get Linus and every ones thoughts on this. This is unbelievable. Why Microsoft, just why? At least hear our thoughts first before deciding this. Thanks, -
I'm looking to migrate our Zimbra server to the cloud to save costs and better uptime. Our current setup is a Dell PowerEdge T30 in our office running Zimbra 8. We are based somewhere in Java, Indonesia. We only need around 50 email accounts, up to 100 in the future, each are very low volume (within 3 years we only used up like 30GB worth of storage in total). The problem with being in a third world country, power outages are common (which happens every couple weeks on average) and setting up a UPS that can go hours to keep the server running isn't cost effective at all. It also costs like $200 monthly for a 10Mbps internet connection with dedicated bandwidth + static IP. Switching to a home business plan for basic internet services will increase our bandwidth by a lot while saving us over $100 monthly (however we'll lose static IP). We're considering options of hosting with AWS (Jakarta) or Oracle Cloud (Singapore). I will try to setup a test server soon with both services some time soon. One concern I had was I encountered too many posts on reddit and elsewhere telling people to avoid Oracle at all costs, but the pricing they're offering is too tempting and honestly very competitive compared to AWS. Compared to free, AWS calculator estimates $80 for EBS and EC2 alone. Azure D2 v3 estimates to $40 monthly. Both Azure and AWS pricing also requires a 3 year commitment. Oracle meanwhile offers 200GB of storage always free and plenty of performance with their ARM A1 Flex instance and then asks $4.25/100GB block storage (we don't even currently need). Before you mention other cloud/VPS hosting services, I've looked up local options and most are unattractive in pricing and does not offer same uptime guarantees as Azure/AWS/Oracle. Also some services such as AWS WorkMail are not available outside US and EU. I still think Oracle only screws you over if you're a large enough company with high enough usagr. Will I be fine using Oracle Cloud? Any thoughts are welcome -
is this possible to use or share cloud computer(like google,azure.microsoft ) internet to my personal computer and use it with high speed

So I'm currently writing up a web server that will take requests of data from a My SQL DB that is hosted on Azure. I've been writing it using Python, but I keep getting silent crashes that don't trigger try/catch blocks. Here's a snippet from the _mysql attempt; this "succeeds" without submitting - no errors are thrown to break the attempt. def view_profile(args): try: db=_mysql.connect(host=server,port=3306,user=username, passwd=password,db=database) db.query("SELECT * FROM accounts") rows=db.store_result() print(str(rows[1])) return 1 except: return 0 I had print statements between each line to make sure it was doing something, but it never completed the connection phase. (Note: The above code is using the _mysql library; ODBC attempt is below) Here's an example of what I have for the ODBC version. connectString = 'Database=<DB HERE>;Data Source=<Server here>;User Id=<login cred>;Password=<PW cred>' def register(args): try: cnxn = pyodbc.connect(connectString) cursor = cnxn.cursor() cursor.execute("INSERT INTO accounts (Email, Password, FName, LName, DoB, Phone, LastLongitute, LastLatitude) values ('" + args[0] + "', '" + args[1] + "', '" + args[2] + "', '" + args[3] + "', '" + args[4] + "', '" + args[5] + "', " + args[6] + ", " +args[7] + ")") cnxn.commit() cnxn.close() return 1 except: return 0 Both of the above codes "succeeds" without submitting data, but fail to even connect to the server. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

Which is the azure subscription better: Free Trial or Pay As You Go or Visual Studio Subscription? Pay As You Go Subscription requires a credit card (including Free Trial) -
Looks like AMD has come out swinging with the "Rome" release. During the launch, both Azure and Google have confirmed that they will be offering AMD 2nd Gen EPYC "Rome" CPUs in their data centers, with Google being the first to have them already live in production for Google Internal systems. Azure and Google have announced that they will soon be available on their respective hyperscale cloud platforms soon. I'm interested to see how performance / pricing stacks up here on GCP and other platforms as they take this up — Intel has been the standard for quite some time now, and with the recent issues (Spectre, Meltdown etc.) it good to see a real alternative taking shape in the industry.

Hey guys, I just started out with Google analytics and AdWords as a side hobby and now I am certified for both of them. This made me wonder which other certificate I should acquire to be able to land a good paying job(though freelancing is my thing). Also I have started with aws and azure. This made me wonder whether I should get certified (entry level) with all the three platforms or just follow one for my career. My focus is big data and thus it would be great to get some veterans advice

Ave, Doing a reach out here for assistance as I'm stuck (As are MS's TekExperts / Azure Support team). I operate an Azure sub with around 20 remote desktop VM's and an RDS/CB gateway (all Server 2019). About a fortnight ago (Tuesday 8th // Wednesday 9th) my clients with Windows 7 workstations stopped being able to connect in to the platform. Windows 10 workstations weren't affected. Naturally I did the things you'd usually do, but here's the rub. I do my patching over the weekend, so the morning of Wednesday 9th when the problems are being reported in, none of my VM's have had the previous days updates or been restarted - yet the problem exists. So I log it with Azure, and have a few days of going around the houses with both them and my clients; and it gets stranger still. MS and myself both spin up a Windows 7 box, nice and fresh, and can get connected in without issue. We both deploy the full rack of updates, still no problems getting connected in. Which leaves me with about a dozen or so users, across multiple companies, infrastructures, patch cycles and endpoint protection suites with the only point of obvious commonality being Windows 7 and all unable to connect. I've got extracts of updates from problem systems, I've got wireshark dumps as well - none of it so far has shed any light on the problem at all. I'm open to suggestions!

Azure Pipelines with unlimited CI/CD minutes for open source
schwellmo92 posted a topic in Tech News
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-azure-pipelines-with-unlimited-ci-cd-minutes-for-open-source/ With all the negative posts on this forum about Microsoft I thought I would bring some positivity Some (a lot of) people in the open-source software (OSS) community have been quite critical of Microsoft's acquisition of Github. This is a step in the right direction for Microsoft to build trust with the OSS community. Usually developers would need to host their own or rent CI/CD agents, which can be quite costly if you need agents for multiple operating systems or use a lot of build time. I think this shows that Microsoft is committed to OSS and is a completely different company to what it was 5+ years ago. -
Hi all, At home I have several different virtual machines and servers on my network but I only have one dynamic IP address available for use. I do however have £75 (about $100) of Azure credit a month as I am a Microsoft partner and was wondering if there was a way I can make use of Azure to have several static IP addresses which I can then route or VPN. etc back to my network. I am thinking that I could either somehow many use of a virtual machine or maybe somehow make use of Azures virtual networking? with a hybrid virtual/on premise hybrid model? The goal is to simulate my router/network to have several static IP addresses which I can use. Thanks, Scott -
For all my bashing on Microsoft for the stupid things they've done with Windows 10 so far. I'm still aware that in ~4 years, I'll have to upgrade my one windows machine to Windows 10 to maintain compatibility with things that either won't run in wine, or I don't have the resources to run in a VM. So I've been in the process of running Windows 10 on a test machine to slowly work my way through all the B.S. and see what all needs to be removed / disabled, and how to do so. Thanks to a lot of googling, and some very good tools (Anti-Beacon saved me quite a lot of time in regedit lol). I've been making good progress. So I started up Windows 10 a bit ago to try and do some more testing. When I noticed something was eating into my bandwidth (svchost.exe), so my first thought was of course stupid Windows 10 update is downloading shit again. After checking, no updates were downloading, and it was showing my system as up to date. So I opened up the resource monitor to find this... After doing a lookup on the IP it was downloading from (results Here), I find out that apparently it's a Microsoft Azure IP address. Now comes the weird part. This is a Windows 10 Home edition install, which according to Microsoft's own feature list. Does NOT have Azure related functionality. Now, I'm assuming this is related to Azure AD (Active Directory). Which if I'm not mistaken, requires you to be part of a domain (which I don't even have implemented on this network). Meaning even if Azure AD were a feature of this version of windows, it should not be running. Which begs the question, why is my computer downloading massive amounts of data from an Azure IP address? It stopped downloading a few minutes ago, after downloading almost 4.3GB of data. So I'm going to spend some time trying to find out wtf it was actually downloading. But for now I'm curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this? Or has any ideas on how to pinpoint if it actually was Azure, and if so, how to disable it?

In an unexpected move, MS as deiced to, beggining today, release a Linux Certification Yes, you heard it right: MS. Linux. Certification. This certificate will be available for all those who'll want to use Linux on the Azure platform. This certifacate is already available on MS's website and as been named MCSA Linux on Azure. and to obtain it you'll have to pass the eaxam 70-533 and the Certified System Administrator of the Linux Foundation source: https://rcpmag.com/articles/2015/12/11/microsoft-linux-cert-program.aspx

Source: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/09/18/microsoft_has_developed_its_own_linux_repeat_microsoft_has_developed_its_own_linux/ Basically, they finally realised that they can debug their own software quicker on top of something that has already been debugged by the Linux community, instead of trying to fix a problem in the switching software that turned out to be one of the many bugs in Windows. Next will they disaggregate windows from the PC hardware so I can finally buy a PC without cr*p on it? Overall, it's good to see another application of Linux where it works much better than trying to fudge windows to work on it. Read the original post from Microsoft here.

Not a whole lot more to add to this to be honest, the title and linked sources speak for themselves. Cutting the bandwidth required for streaming is only beneficial to every party involved, I'm surprised this sort of two pronged approach hasn't been tried before. Its pretty smart to offload things to the device itself as much as possible while involving your streaming for tasks that said device can't do, or doesn't make sense to do given hardware limitations. With more companies getting on this wagon of streaming, anything that reduces the overall load on the network is going to be appreciated especially by consumers who game on the go. Maybe this will challenge mobile games themselves. Why play some random app store 99 cent game when you can just stream something proper and do it without hindering your overall experience? http://today.duke.edu/2015/05/cloudgaming http://www.geek.com/games/microsoft-cuts-cloud-game-streaming-bandwidth-by-over-80-1623534/ This post has been promoted to an article
