CIAOPS GitHub Repositories

I have now created 2 GitHub repos for Office 365 and Azure content. You can find these at:

https://github.com/directorcia/Office365

and

https://github.com/directorcia/Azure

At the moment they mostly contain basic connection PowerShell scripts but I am looking to grow the content over time and include other information that people can use. For example, in the Azure repo you’ll find my Azure bucket spreadsheet which is a basic way of pricing and bundling Azure services.

Much of the content is under development but using GitHub allows me to easily work on the content across different machines and have a development environment to work with (i.e. versions, branches, etc).

Using GitHub I also see as a way for me to gain experience with the technology given the recent Microsoft purchase of GitHub as well as the general move to a DevOps world.

So, take a look at what is there, hopefully you’ll find some handy PowerShell scripts and don’t forget to check back regularly for new and updated content. As always you can send me feedback directly or in GitHub for each project.

Free CIAOPS Yammer support network

I am happy to announce that I have set up a free CIAOPS Patron support network on Yammer that is focused on the Microsoft Cloud. In there I have groups on Azure, Microsoft 365, Office 365, Windows 10 and more. Members can ask questions, reply to posts as well as a share interesting information to help others.

Although access to this network is free it is by invite only, so if you want access you’ll need to send me an email (director@ciaops.com) requesting access.

I’ve done this in Yammer for a few reasons. Firstly, it is going to give me the experience of managing a ‘larger’ Yammer external network. This will hopefully improve both my technical experience with the product but also skill me more on how to successfully implement adoption. Secondly, I’ve hopefully giving people a way to get a feel for what Yammer is all about, how it works and what benefits it provides. Yammer for me is probably the most important adoption tool as I have said before:

Focus on the “me” services first

so hopefully giving people a reason to come and experience Yammer for themselves will give them a better idea of what role it can play in a business.

Again, this offering is free but by invite only. To secure your invite just email me at director@ciaops.com.
