If you were at #DirectionsEMEA today, you can't have missed the the #msdyn365bc MCP Server. If not, you still might have heard about it. I couldn't resist to immediately give it a spin and here are my notes on how to use it with @vscode.dev or @docker.com's cagent: tobiasfenster.io/using-the-bu...

On #DirectionsEMEA Day 1 in Poznan I talked to @1shannonmullin1.bsky.social, @wingate365.com and @bc.jeremy.vyska.info about the conference and the content and news of the first day. Go listen to it on the latest episode of #WindowOnTechnology: podcast.tobiasfenster.io/2032825/epis... #msdyn365bc

Are you coming to #DirectionsEMEA in Poznan next week? If yes, join me for my two sessions about making your life easier when interacting with 3rd parties from/to #MSDyn365BC (based on work by @simonofhh.bsky.social) and about managing your #Azure infra with GitOps together with @lippertmarkus.com

Have you ever created a container image and struggled to resolve an issue in the process due to a lack of debugging capabilities for Dockerfiles? Fortunately, @docker.com has changed that, enabling us to debug professionally in @vscode.dev. Find out more at tobiasfenster.io/debugging-co...

There is a new open-source tool by @docker.com called cagent that allows you to build multi-agent solutions. It is currently labelled as "experimental", so of course I had to give it a try and here is what I learned creating a #msdyn365bc coding assistant with it: tobiasfenster.io/orchestrate-...

Maybe you have seen it, @docker.com has announced an amazing new offering called Offload to support fast and convenient development of GPU-driven AI workloads. You can find my adaption of it here: tobiasfenster.io/docker-offlo.... #DockerOffload

Running Windows Nano Server containers was often not possible in the past, because service or features needed by applications were not available. Fortunately, Microsoft has made it possible to enable features on demand, e.g. IIS. To see how that works, check tobiasfenster.io/what-are-fod...

Last but not least, thanks to 4PS by Hilti - Germany / 4PS by Hilti - Group and Hilti Group for allowing me to be an active part of those communities

Thanks a lot to all organizers for making it happen and allowing me to participate. I can't name all, but I'll mention Mira, @adisjugo.bsky.social, @lucvandyck.bsky.social and @jespersw.bsky.social to please pass it on. And a special thanks to @simonofhh.bsky.social for sharing the stage with me 😊

Very different conferences, very different audiences, but also very much fun at all of those events!

To finish that stretch, I had the chance to visit Microsoft in Lyngby for the #msdyn365bc MVP Summit with a ton of highly interesting information and networking.

Being active as a speaker and member of community programs comes with quite a bit of work and it certainly can be exhausting, but it also gives a lot of energy and pleasure. I recently had the chance to speak at DynamicsMinds, European BizApps and AI & Cloud Summit as well as @bctechdays.com.

Great news, I got renewed as Docker Captain 🎉 Since 2022 when I was first awarded, so much has happened and Docker changed a lot, but it consistently is an amazing experience to be part of that program. Thanks a lot to Docker and especially Eva Bojorges! On to hopefully many more years 😊

@docker.com Desktop has a new feature called Docker Model Runner which allows you to very easily run AI models locally. With the next version 4.42, it will support (more) Windows laptops and I had a chance to test a pre-release version. You can find the results here tobiasfenster.io/docker-ai-mo...

Right from DynamicsMinds, I had the pleasure of having Jonas Melgaard on #WindowOnTechnology to talk about Infrastructure as Code in a financial institution. If you are interested, find it here: podcast.tobiasfenster.io/2032825/epis...

Ich verstehe es so: Der Vierervergleich ergibt 1. CHE (4:2), 2./3. WUE / HDB (je 3:3), 4. BER (2:4). Daher ist CHE fix 1, BER fix 4. Danach wird der Zweiervergleich HDB / WUE aufgemacht. Da ist es 1:1, aber HDB ist wegen des Korbverhältnis vorn. D.h. ich denke der Dreiervergleich wird nicht gemacht

What is happening in AL-Go specifically and DevOps for #msdyn365bc generally? @freddydk.bsky.social joined #WindowOnTechnology for an episode where we explore that and also look at the current state and future direction of containers for BC. Find it at podcast.tobiasfenster.io/2032825/epis...
