Azure DevOps is a set of services offered by Microsoft to create and maintain automation in the Azure cloud.
Most people look at Azure DevOps and see a service that is built for dev’s maintaining and release code releases. But if you look closely, you’ll see a set of tools for sysadmins to use for running automation (i.e. scheduled jobs) in the cloud or even on your own corporate on premises servers. This demo shows how you can get started with Azure DevOps and replace your dodgy scheduled tasks in only a few hours’ time.
Speaker Bio:
Our speaker for this presentation is Mike Kanakos, who is an Infrastructure Tools Engineer for InvisAlign and a Microsoft Cloud and Datacenter MVP. Mike specializes in managing directory services through automation.

Crescendo is a recently released PowerShell module from the PowerShell team. It allows you to create PowerShell modules and cmdlets for native commands that don’t play nice with PowerShell today.
Programs like kubectl, ipconfig, docker, etc become PowerShell capable; giving you the full potential of PowerShell to streamline your workflows. Simple string output becomes object data in PowerShell, allowing you to use all the goodness you love about PowerShell. Stephen Valdinger dives into how Crescendo works, and shows how he used it to turn some of the cmd line tools he uses into PowerShell cmdlets.
Speaker Bio:
Stephen Valdinger (aka “steviecoaster” across social media) manages the Customer Experience for Chocolatey Software. He spends his days ensuring documentation, end user experience, and tools meet customers and users where they are in their automation journey. “Stevie” sometimes doesn’t sleep on the weekends when someone gives him an idea on a Friday afternoon that he can’t let go of.

This presentation, we welcome Anthony Howell @ThePoshWolf. Anthony will showcase the usage of the free community version of Runway Automation Platform
Join Anthony as he talks about Runway and focus on the cool parts of scripting with Runway. They are looking for testers, so get ready.
Bio:
Starting at the help desk in 2009, Anthony Howell has built a career in IT automation and development, with a focus on PowerShell. This includes a lot of boring things, like user lifecycle automation or custom application installation scripts, but it also includes some really cool and exciting things, such as API module development (including AutoRest) or cloud automation projects. It really is just too much to fit under one day job -- so you might also find him blogging and speaking on PowerShell, when he's not picking up some PowerShell consulting projects on the side.

The Microsoft Graph API is the future of querying data from the Azure cloud. It's incredibly powerful but isn't very PowerShell friendly.
James O'Neill is a former Microsoft employee who built a module that adds support for using all the PowerShell goodness you come to love but is missing from the Graph API.
If you need to work with the Graph API, then this module is an absolute time saver and a must-have tool for your toolkit. Join us on Wed, 7/21 for demo of how this incredibly useful module works. This module contains over a 100 cmdlets missing from the Graph API.
A little info about our speaker:
James O’Neill is a former Microsoft employee who has been working with PowerShell since 2006. His latest project has been to produce better tools for the Graph API.
After leaving Microsoft, he now works as a freelance developer. James lives near Oxford, England, and insists he will publish “The Hitchhikers guide to PowerShell”, eventually.

What is Ansible?
Ansible is an amazingly flexible tool to manage your infrastructure. It's a simple IT automation engine that automates cloud provisioning, configuration management, application deployment, intra-service orchestration, and many other IT needs. Ansible allows you configure and manage many computers at once, with ease.
If you have never touched Ansible, fear not, because this two part video series covers all the major pieces of Ansible. This first video is an intro that will cover how to get started and what are the important pieces to understand. Part 2 covers more of the advanced features and customized code you can create for Ansible.
Our guest speaker for this talk is Jeremy Murrah, a sysadmin who uses Ansible daily to configure and maintain hundreds of nodes for his employer. Jeremy skillfully shows off the basic features of Ansible, how they work and then highlights some useful modules to extend Ansible even further.

Clem Messerli demos a script he wrote to automate the testing of a website SSL settings. The script leverages the SSLabs API to test websites from the command line.
Clem walks through why he is using the various settings that he added to his script. This is an excellent example of how API's can be leveraged to automate a task and query for certain suspect security settings.

Looking to learn how to get started in Azure? Have you considered Serverless apps? Be not afraid. They're easy to build and allow you get started without needing a degree in programming....
Our speaker, Jeremy Brown, will walk through the basics of serverless apps, build a simple app AND put it online in 45 minutes!
Jeremy is an IT veteran with 20+ yrs in the IT industry. His PowerShell experience goes all the way back to v1 as a Microsoft Trainer. Once he began with PowerShell, he fell in love and has used PowerShell as his primary tool since that time. Jeremy currently works as a sysadmin and cloud ops pro automating Azure and Office 365 in a hybrid environment for the NC Judicial Branch.
Come take a look at the mystery and wonder of using someone else's computer to do your work. We'll explore using Azure Static Websites, REST APIs, and Azure Functions together in a tale of one person’s journey to a “Derpy” webapp of something they could have just Googled.
By the end of our meeting, you will learn how easy and cheap it is to host a website and make that other person’s computer do your bidding.

We're continuing our git education series with a follow up on last month's git intro. Last month we focused on committing code to your own repo. This month we're focusing on committing code to a shared repository.
Join Phil Bossman, Kevin Laux and the rest of the RTPSUG leaders as we host a hands-on, step by step tutorial of how to work with shared repositories.
Our demo this month focuses on helping build a website. Each participant will have an opportunity to add a piece to our "website" which runs from a shared git repository. You will be able to see what you added to the website live once it is committed.
We'll start off with a quick review of the fundamentals from last month's meeting and then we'll start building on top of those fundamental commands.
Follow along:

Join Phil Bossman and the rest of the RTPSUG leaders as we host the first of two hands-on, interactive git learning sessions. You will participate in follow-along demos to create and commit to your first repo. The RTPSUG leaders will help you master your first steps in git with one-on-one help.
Phil will lead a learning session that will cover the core commands of git. Learn the difference between push and pull, adding vs committing, local vs remote repos and how to undo everything when you have completely borked it up.
This is a Working Session, there will be background noise throughout the presentation as we help users make their first git repository.
