#Azure

Compare Copilot Studio transcript replication through Fabric and Azure Functions, with practical guidance on retention, identity, parsing, and Power BI costs.

What the Microsoft Communications Portal is, how it aggregates Power Platform, Microsoft 365, Azure, and Fabric update feeds into one dashboard, its defense-in-depth security model, deployment options with Azure Developer CLI or Docker, and how to contribute on GitHub.

What Azure SRE Agent is, what setup actually looks like, and what happened when I pointed it at my own repo, my Application Insights telemetry across Dataverse, Copilot Studio, and Foundry, and then asked it for a health check on everything at once. Plus what connecting an incident platform buys you — autonomous mitigation, a verification loop, and a handoff straight to the GitHub Copilot coding agent — the five switches worth flipping that you don't get turned on by default, and what the newly published Zero Ops framework recommends, including the two governance layers above per-tool Allow and Ask and three details worth verifying against the current docs.

The Power Platform admin center still doesn't flag which Copilot Studio agents run on the GitHub Copilot harness. The isCLIAgent property does, and Microsoft has now published governance guidance built on it.

Foundry Canvas puts model selection, toolboxes, guardrails, testing, and deployment in a Copilot side panel while leaving you the actual agent code.

Disabling public network access removes the Foundry portal's Teams publish button. Here's the REST path that replaces it and the inbound design you now own.

Create an Astro blog with GitHub Copilot, put it on GitHub, and deploy it to Azure Static Web Apps with OIDC and least-privilege access.

A tour of Portal 360°: multi-tenant admin, config drift, CVE tracking, and the BFF-secured Next.js architecture behind one Microsoft cloud console.

Set up GitHub Copilot to vibe code a blog, an app, or your own project. Learn the tools, agents, and skills; install Astro only for the blog example.

Field-tested lessons from shipping with AI: use plan mode, build reusable skills, choose models deliberately, and keep a reviewer in the loop.

Why I finally started writing after years of putting it off, plus a tour of what I built with AI: Pulse 360°, Portal 360°, and the Microsoft Communications Portal.
