Last month, I had the opportunity to attend the inaugural NerdioCon conference, where I was invited to share my Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) experiences with Nedio CEO, Vadim Vladimirskiy, in his opening keynote speech. It was a great conference and wonderful to finally meet the Nerdio team in person. I have been impressed by Nerdio from the very beginning, at the heart of their company lives VALUE, and that is something I have always been passionate about.
One of our key strategic partners—Nerdio, hosted their first ever in-person Conference NerdioCon in Cancun, Mexico a couple of weeks ago. Co-founder and CEO, Paul Heaton and Senior Cloud Consultant, George Zajakovksi had the opportunity to attend the sold-out conference as a Nerdio Platinum Partner. The 3 days were a jam-packed combination of work and play, and while we’re not going to confess how many strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas were had during this trip, we will reveal some of the awesome insights we gained from the top minds in the cloud and virtual desktop space that spoke at the conference. Speakers included Vadim Vladimirskiky, CEO of Nerdio, and Virtual Desktop leaders Scott Manchester, Kam Vedbrat, and Tatiana Ospina from Microsoft.
Microsoft has now released the general availability of BYOIP (Bring Your Own IP) to all regions of Azure! This is exciting news because existing public IPs can be kept and reused when planning on-premises migrations to the cloud. You might want to do this to either keep an established IP reputation or to suit the dependencies of customers.
Previously, only those with on-premises environments and Active Directory could manage Chrome by importing ADMX templates (Google’s administrative templates) and using group policies. There was no option to perform the same for those who have a fully managed or hybrid cloud with Intune.
With Microsoft unveiling another new service, this blog will provide you with an in-depth walkthrough to familiarise you with its features.
Microsoft has made the deployment of Intune device configuration to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) multi-session virtual machines (VMs) generally available. Prior to this, Intune only supported the management of single-session AVD VMs. What this means is that now, you can use Intune to manage the configuration of policies on Azure Active Directory-joined AVD multi-session VMs.
Modern-day problems require modern-day solutions. The way we work has changed, with remote and hybrid work becoming the norm, and this especially rings true for development teams. It’s important to ensure developer workstations can keep pace and be flexible so as not to interrupt their productivity.
Another new service introduced this year so far by Microsoft, Azure DNS (Domain Name System) Private Resolver is a cloud-native, DevOps-friendly, and highly available service.
Sometimes, you need the ability to trigger a DevOps build or release pipeline when a condition is met through a piece of code or from outside of the Azure DevOps environment.
