Integration Down Under

Integration Down Under is a brand new Microsoft Integration & Azure webcast, in an APAC friendly time zone! And that is an idea that have been simmering for a long time.

We all love Integration Monday, one of the most successful MS Integration webcasts ever, but it was always a recurring joke between the AU/NZ integration professionals who would have to wake up the earliest to be able to watch. So, for a while now, we’ve been discussing how nice would be to have a similar webcast in a time slot that didn’t require lots of caffeine and an alarm clock setup to early in the morning, just to enjoy live…

Then earlier this year Bill Chesnut rallied the troops and brought together a group of Microsoft Azure MVPs – Daniel Toomey, Martin Abbot, Rene Brawuers and myself – to start this project. After a couple of crazy nights furiously discussing details and logistics – social media, logo, topics, among lots of other things – we’ve settled for an inaugural meeting on the 8th Feb, which will kick off the webcast with a series of lightning talks. Here is a taste of what you can expect on the first webcast:

  • Bill Chesnut – API Management REST to SOAP
  • Martin Abbott – Azure Data Factory v2.
  • Wagner Silveira – Azure Functions Proxy
  • Dan Toomey – Azure Event Grid
  • Rene Brauwers – A reactive integration primer

You can register for the webinar here, thanks to SixPivot, which is kindly providing the Webinar facility.

So please join us on the 8th, and let us know what you think, what topics you are interested in hearing more next and how can we improve more and more!

Enable/disable all logic apps in a resource group

Have you ever wanted to stop all logic apps in a resource group in one go – either for production maintenance, or maybe because that set of logic apps in a resource group is eating all your resources? If so, welcome to the club… What you probably found is that there is no way to do this in the portal. Coming from a BizTalk background where you can stop all orchestration – or even the whole application) with a right click, in some cases you will ask “Why?”, while in others you might shout “Khaaaannn!” (I know I probably did both).

2017 – a year of firsts

It is Saturday, the last Saturday of my Christmas holiday, and the weather is not exactly “friendly”, so instead of playing in a beach, I am home getting ready for work on Monday.

That reminded me that although I wanted, I didn’t wrote the classic “year in review post” for 2017 – and by classic I mean, the first ever for this blog… 😀 Continue reading “2017 – a year of firsts”
