Couple weeks have gone by – my wife had a successful spinal surgery done last week, so not a lot of activity on my part as I made sure she had everything she needed. Even though I work fully remote, I took last week off. The break was nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did spend a little time reading through a study guide for what I hope is my next certification. I’m still a couple chapters from close, at which point I hope to go quickly back through and write up some of my own study notes. Looking to take the exam within the next month for sure, but we’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This week has been interesting – in between the million meetings schedule I was able to get my hands on finally building a VPN through code between Azure and Mulesoft. The Mulesoft side was clickops unfortunately, but the Azure side was all bicep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other fun this week was around troubleshooting VSS and removing registry keys remotely and through code. I’m definitely going to convert some of those learnings to a post. While VSS isn’t typically something you need to troubleshoot in 2023, it’s pretty amazing how little knowledge there is around how VSS works and how to troubleshoot when it doesn’t. Last I touched VSS in a troubleshooting capacity was well over a decade ago. But some interesting learnings were discovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was some work around generalized patterns for how API Management’s get deployed in a largely-siloed environment, and this will spawn some interesting conversations with teams. At the moment we see a 1:1 ratio of team\/app and APIM instance. In some cases it’s a wasteful spend, and in almost all cases it’s poor design. How do you go from siloed environments to multiple shared services? That’ll be the trick….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
