Dalibor_Kovacevic announces new Azure SRE Agent connectors for Log Analytics and Application Insights, enabling faster, MCP-backed KQL querying with simplified RBAC setup via managed identities.

Vineela-Suri walks through an event-driven pipeline where Terraform drift alerts trigger Azure SRE Agent via an authenticated HTTP endpoint, so the agent can correlate drift with Azure telemetry, classify severity, recommend safe remediation, notify Microsoft Teams, and even open a GitHub PR.

cindywang explains how GitHub Copilot agents can modernize legacy Java and .NET code inside Docker Sandbox microVMs, keeping host filesystem paths consistent while avoiding risky Docker socket mounts and tightening egress controls during dependency upgrades.

chandanAggarwal announces the public preview of Container Network Insights Agent, an agentic AI assistant for diagnosing AKS networking issues by correlating Kubernetes, Cilium/Hubble, and node-level Linux telemetry, then producing evidence-backed root-cause reports and remediation commands.

Visual Studio Code shares a short video walkthrough of improvements to VS Code terminal tools for agent sessions, covering foreground terminal support, interactive input handling, progress messages, and background notifications to make command-driven workflows smoother.

The Visual Studio Code Team summarizes what’s new in Visual Studio Code 1.117, including improvements to agent sessions, terminal capture, and Git worktree isolation, plus editor UX fixes for package.json and JSDoc rendering.

Allison announces `gh skill`, a new GitHub CLI command for discovering, installing, updating, and publishing portable “agent skills” for AI coding agents (including GitHub Copilot), with a focus on version pinning and supply-chain integrity.

Microsoft Developer introduces SQL projects in SSMS 22.5, showing how to bring an existing production database into source control as a SQL project and use it across VS Code, GitHub Actions, and Azure DevOps for a more reliable database DevOps workflow.

Aviram Shemesh and Jennifer Rutzer explain how to build a cryptographic inventory and run an ongoing cryptographic posture management lifecycle, using Microsoft Security tooling (like Defender and GitHub Advanced Security), Azure services (like Key Vault and Network Watcher), and partner CPM solutions to improve quantum-safe readiness.

Lawrence Gripper explains how GitHub uses eBPF and cgroups to prevent deployment scripts from introducing circular dependencies (like needing github.com during an outage), including a Go-based proof of concept that monitors and conditionally blocks network/DNS access for deploy processes.

Allison announces new GitHub improvements: a rule insights dashboard to visualize repository ruleset evaluations (successes, failures, bypasses) and a unified filter bar across alert dismissal and bypass request pages for code scanning, Dependabot, and secret scanning.

Jim Harrer shares a curated list of 20 VS Live! Las Vegas 2026 sessions now available on the Visual Studio YouTube channel, spanning AI/Copilot topics, modern .NET and C#, Azure cloud-native development, GitHub Actions, and practical productivity and architecture guidance.

Microsoft Fabric Blog explains what customers are asking about Fabric Data Factory vs Azure Data Factory (ADF): when to migrate, how mature it is, and what new capabilities you gain—like Mirroring to OneLake, Copy Jobs with CDC, Dataflows Gen2, Copilot assistance, and managed Airflow/dbt execution.

shobhitgarg describes a new Azure CLI experience that enables Azure Backup for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with a single command, reducing the previous multi-step onboarding (extensions, vaults, policies, trusted access) into an automation-friendly workflow for platform teams.

DevClass.com reports on GitHub’s private preview of Stacked PRs, a workflow for breaking large changes into smaller, independently reviewable pull requests that can still depend on each other, with an optional gh stack CLI that’s also intended to work well with AI agents.

dhruti explains why cloud-native migrations to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) often “succeed” in deployment but still fail at runtime during production cutover, and outlines the dependency, DR, and batch-processing checks needed for operational readiness.

Allison outlines what changed in CodeQL 2.25.2 for GitHub code scanning, including Kotlin 2.3.20 support, multiple query accuracy tweaks (notably for C#), and updated security-severity scores for issues like XSS and log injection across several languages.

Laura Jiang announces two Azure DevOps Advanced Security updates: CodeQL default setup to enable org-wide code scanning without per-repo pipeline configuration, and a combined alerts experience (with security campaigns) to triage and coordinate remediation across all repositories.

vdivizinschi explains how to run diagnostic and remediation commands across Azure VM Scale Set instances using Azure Run Command via the control plane, avoiding RDP/SSH. The post covers prerequisites, RBAC permissions, orchestration-mode differences (Uniform vs Flexible), and provides Bash/Azure CLI loops to run scripts across all instances.

Jesse Houwing summarizes GitHub’s update that GitHub Copilot can now keep inference processing and associated data within US or EU data residency regions, and shows the enterprise/org policy you must enable to restrict Copilot to data-resident models.
