Azure Stack HCI - Part II - Deploying A Single Node Cluster

Azure Stack HCI - Part II - Deploying A Single Node Cluster

This is a series of blogs about my experiences with Azure Stack HCI

In this blog series I plan to blog about everything I know about Azure Stack HCI. So, it should be a very short blog series. Just kidding. Again, I tend to blog about subjects that I am currently working on or will be currently working on. So, Azure Stack HCI is fresh on my mind again these days. Note: After reading this blog a few times myself I have decided to write another blog but adding more details around areas I did not bring up in this current blog.

My MicroK8s Cluster Is Now Manged by Azure. What is next? - Part II - Monitoring

Using Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to Monitor, Secure, Regulate, Deploy and more

This is next blog in a series of blogs I just started that share my experiences with integrating Azure services with my on-premises deployment of MicroK8s Kubernetes cluster running in WSL. These blog series are an extension of another blog series I did called MicroK8S and WSL Managed by Azure Arc. At a high level there is a lot of Azure Services we can integrate and use with our Kubernetes clusters running anywhere, such as on-premises, or even GCP and AWS.

My MicroK8s Cluster Is Now Manged by Azure. What is next?

Using Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes to Monitor, Secure, Regulate, Deploy and more

In a previous blog series MicroK8S and WSL Managed by Azure Arc - A blog series about my experiences with MicroK8S, WSL, and Azure Arc I had a curiosity to see if I could deploy MicroK8s on my WIndows 10 WSL instance and then manage the WSL instance with Azure Arc and then manage the MicroK8s cluster using Arc-enabled Kubernetes. So let’s refresh here a little. I was able to get a MicroK8s cluster deployed on WSL running on my Windows 10 laptop.

A blog series about my experiences with MicroK8S, WSL, and Azure Arc

In this blog series I am going to discuss my experiences with MicroK8S, installing it on Windows Subsystem for Linux, and how to connect the cluster to Azure using Azure Arc-Enabled Kubernetes. The blog will be broken up into the following three sections: Installing MicroK8s on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) Azure Arc-enabled servers: Installing Azure Connected Machine Agent Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes: Connecting my MicroK8S cluster to Azure Managing MicroK8s Cluster with Azure Arc-Enabled Kubernetes In this blog I will discuss my experience connecting my newly deploy MicroK8s cluster to Azure using Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes.

A blog series about my experiences with MicroK8S, WSL, and Azure Arc

I recently started a new job with a company that isn’t a 100% Microsoft shop. It has been many years since I have worked in a environment that everyone wasn’t drinking the Microsoft Kool-Aid. Not a bad thing if you do, I did and I loved that flavor. However, new job means new challenges and new way of doing things. In this blog series I am going to discuss my experiences with MicroK8S.

Deploy Home Assistant and My Home Automation Adventure.

Automating my home or at least trying to.

At MMS this year one of the sessions, in fact the very last session I attended was about Home Automation using Home Assistant. I have been itching to get started playing with Home Assistant but just haven’t had the time. However, I have a need now to do some home automation and now it has become important. My Use case I have a T9 Honeywell Thermostat at home that is connected to the Resideo app to control my A/C.
How to Integrate Microsoft Sentinel and Freshservice

How to Integrate Microsoft Sentinel and Freshservice

Sometimes your customers can teach you a thing or two.

There are times even your customers can teach you something. Recently while onboarding Microsoft Sentinel for a customer I ran into one of those times. I had been asked by the customer to integrate Microsoft Sentinel with Freshservice. Fresh service is one of many cloud based ITSM that I have run along my fun career. I personally don’t know much about Freshservice out side of the fact that my customer used it and had a use case where they wanted Sentinel to open a ticket in their system.
