With the introduction of Copilot for Azure SQL, there's an amazing helper available. But this helper needs correct and clear instructions. Let us show you a few working examples to get the most out of Copilot. These examples will help you to write better, SQL specific, prompts. ✅ Chapters: 0:00 Introduction 1:23 Demo 7:00 Getting started ✅ About MVPs: Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, or MVPs, are technology experts who passionately share their knowledge with the community. They are always on the "bleeding edge" and have an unstoppable urge to get their hands on new, exciting technologies.

I spent the weekend playing with two of my favorite tools to come up with something I think is really neat! Using #PowerShell Universal and AutomatedLab I've started a web-based management platform for my web environments.

Super user-friendly way to interact with AutomatedLab!
