I like breaking things to figure out how they work. Some times I also like putting then back together so they actually work again.

The more I dig in #msgraph the stranger it gets. Like what:

"The type of the request. Use adminAdd to add a resource, if the caller is an administrator or resource owner, adminUpdate to update a resource, or adminRemove to remove a resource."

Why not just use HTTP POST, PATCH and DELETE? 🤷‍♂️

Ever got a bit frustrated because you couldn't configure role settings for your Entra ID roles in PIM with Terraform?

Well now you can stop being frustrated and solve it with this weeks latest release of the msgraph-provider: trond.sjovang.no/posts/config...

A lot of very nice improvements in v.0.2 to make the terraform provider for msgraph even more useful!

- retry and timeout configuration
- update_resource, resource_collection and resource_action to cover more api endpoints

yes, yes, it might be dangerous to push to prod on a Friday, but have you tried eating something with red sauce while wearing a white t-shirt?

registry.terraform.io/providers/ha... doesn't have a resource for connected organizations, but with registry.terraform.io/providers/mi... we can just create a small module to deploy the connection and external/internal sponsors: registry.terraform.io/modules/sjov...

A quick note on the terraform provider for entra id/msgraph that was made available while everyone was busy enjoying their summer holiday trond.sjovang.no/posts/a-new-...

nice! preview of the new msgraph provider for Terraform is available: github.com/microsoft/te...

The provider is similar to azapi and act as a thin wrapper on top of the msgraph rest api. Which means we can now use Terraform for a lot of configuration that is missing from terraform-provider-azuread

This container thing in macOS Tahoe is pretty neat github.com/apple/contai...

And it’s already in homebrew so you can just run `brew install container` to test it out (if you have a spare macbook to run early developer betas that is. Don’t upgrade a computer you actually need for important things)

Having a monday off work is dangerous. Before you know it you have decided your summer vacation plans needs improvement and booked flights, train and hotels for a couple of days in London before catching the final stage of Tour de France in Paris 💸

I like opentofu/terraform, but trying to navigate around both open issues and missing features in the various ways you can implement privileged identity management in azure/entra id is not a very nice experience

It’s a wrap! #mvpsummit is over. Time to recharge the social battery, figure out how to make room for all the new swag in the bag, and start working on these sweet new things the rest of the world will hear about soon

Aah, hello there Seattle travel karma. Last time I got stuck in Reykjavik for a night (far from the worst city to be stuck in). And today: www.bbc.com/news/article... #mvpbuzz
Heathrow Airport closes all day over power outage
It comes in response to a "significant" outage linked to a fire at a nearby electrical substation.

hrmf! this is worrying: github.com/hashicorp/te...

So, what is your favorite tool for managing EntraID configuration as code?
Is this provider no longer being developed? · Issue #1657 · hashicorp/terraform-provider-azuread
Has support for this provider been dropped? Last release was January 16. Issues are no longer receiving comments from contributors. No activity or reviews on open PRs. No active branches.

Finally had a bit of free time to play with these new modules … and wheeee! The decision to use the azapi provider makes deployments so much faster, and the pattern of just using the modules you need feels so much better than the complexity of the caf-enterprise-scale mega-module

Dear kiwi’s, what is going on with your habit of indian/european fushion food? Today’s menu had a butter chicken pizza (and tbh, I was tempted), and the other day I saw a tikka masala caesar salad #newzealand #aotearoa
