Workshop: DSC and Automated Lab with Jan-Hendrik Peters of Microsoft
Description changed:
Jan-Hendrik Peters will be in Scotland in October and has asked if he can come along and present to our group! We, of course said YES!
Jan-Hendrik is a Microsoft Premier Field Engineer from Dusseldorf, Germany and has presented at PSConf.EU this year with Hands-on JEA and Hybrid Lab Automation both with Raimund Andree. He is also an active contributor to the Automated Lab project which is part of what his workshop will cover.
Agenda
Let’s take a look at what will be covered and what you will learn from this awesome workshop.
* Introduction to DSC:
We cover the history of DSC, the key components and the what the building blocks of a DSC configuration are;
* Push vs Pull:
You will gain an understanding of both modes and the differences, when to use one over the other and the new Windows Server 2019 way of doing things vs the current implementation and setup a pull server from scratch;
* DSC In A Release Pipeline:
Find out how to use DSC in a release pipeline;
* Advanced DSC:
Learn advanced techniques for using DSC in a release pipeline and work through an actual customer scenario using this approach and get started generating configuration at a larger scale;
Tickets are limited to 20, yes that’s right. The workshop is limited to 20 people only!
What will you need?
All of the labs will be hosted on Azure (thanks to Jan-Hendrik!), which means you’ll just need to bring a laptop that has a browser! Operating system doesn’t matter.
Okay, I’m sold. How do I register?
Just a reminder, the workshop is limited to 20 people. Only people with a ticket will be able to come along and work with a seasoned Microsoft Premier Field Engineer. This is not an opportunity that comes along every day so make sure you grab your ticket from Meetup as quickly as possible!
Common sense is applied. Be respectful. Be helpful. And understand that the group has members of all skill levels and there is no such thing as a 'stupid question'.
