In my role I work with some of Microsoft's largest partners and their customers, but I like to create content that all partners, customers and individual users can benefit from. I specialise in the Cloud and AI Platform and with a love of infrastructure as code, cloud-native, and platform engineering. Based in Reading, UK.

The Terraform MCP Server has evolved significantly since I covered it in the Fabric Terraform series. It has moved well beyond a simple registry lookup tool and is now at v0.5.2. Here is a summary of what has changed and how to think about which configuration is right for you.
A new set of content on Azure Citadel covering Customer Managed Keys (CMK) for encryption at rest — the first phase in a series that will also cover confidential compute.

Announcing a new and large set of labs to help partners and customers with understanding and adopting Azure landing zones and also the Sovereign landing zone variant.
