While Azure Container Registry (ACR) is prevalent as an Azure service, the corresponding
Az.ContainerRegistry Azure PowerShell module wasn't fully featured. Sometimes, PowerShell users had to take advantage of the Az CLI. We want to allow PowerShell user to be able to fully manage container images. Starting with Az.ContainerRegistry version 2.2.1, we will gradually be rolling out new cmdlets and new parameters. In this release, you can now fully manage (Get-, Remove-, Update-) repositories, manifests, and tags with increased performance.

Recently, a client asked me to develop standards for them for AWS S3. They are primarily an Azure
shop but, like most enterprises these days, they have some apps and business units which use AWS. As I documented what I already knew and researched what I didn't, I was (once again) blown away by the capabilities of this massive cloud-scale network file system....

I spend my entire working day in a PowerShell prompt. It is often a combination of Windows
PowerShell and PowerShell 7. Sometimes I'm in a session with a loaded profile, sometimes not. Sometimes I have a PowerShell 7 Preview session running. And then there are the scheduled jobs which also run PowerShell. Over the years, I've written a number of variations of a PowerShell script or function to discover all of the running PowerShell sessions on my computer. But I think I have finally written the final version of a PowerShell process detection tool.

Sometimes you just need to redeploy a lot of resources for testing because you're building something
for a customer. For me these scenario's always go into scripting or templates. That means for every change I want to be redeploy the environment and see if everything is still working. For that I need random names. You could pick a name, add a number and up the number for every new deployment but, where's the fun in that?
