>> Welcome back to another episode
of This Week on Channel nine.
I'm your host, Christina Warren.
Still on the cast, and in honor of
my favorite early aughts emo band Dashboard Confessional,
I'm going to make as many Dashboard references
as possible this show.
So, let's get into the news.
First up, you won't be living in your letters now
that Azure Event Grid has reached general availability.
The Azure Event Grid is a fully
managed event routing service
that simplifies the development
of event-based applications.
This provides multiple ways to react to these events
including using serverless offerings
such as Azure Functions,
or Azure Logic Apps, using Azure Automation,
or even custom Webhooks for
your code or third party services.
This means, any service running anywhere can publish
events and subscribe for reliable Azure Events.
Check out the announcement blogpost in
the overview video on YouTube for more information.
Next up, feel vindicated that TypeScript 2.7 Is out now.
Visual Studio 2015 Update three users can install it now,
and it will be coming very soon to Visual Studio code.
Sublime text users can install
it now too from Package Control.
Big new features include
easier ECMAScript modules operability,
pretty output, and stricter class property checks.
Saints and sailors alike will love
a new blogpost from Pui Chee Chan
about the refresh of Microsoft's
Jenkins offering in the Azure Marketplace.
Like the previous offer,
this one allows customers to run
a Jenkins master on a Linux VM running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
And the price is the cost of running
the software components and
Azure infrastructure deployed by the solution template.
If you are looking to run Jenkins in the cloud,
you will have full control over
the Jenkins master you setup.
On Channel nine this week,
our friend Burke Holland is back
for another episode of Five Things.
This time, focusing on
everyone's favorite framework, React.
And don't worry there won't be
any screaming infidelities nonsense.
Even as Burke struggles to get
the latest version of React to work on his machine,
so be sure to check that out.
Also on Channel 9 is the latest episode of GALs,
this time with Microsoft's
Executive Vice President of
Business Development, Peggy Johnson.
As Executive Vice President of Business Development,
Peggy Johnston is responsible for driving
strategic partnerships and transactions
to accelerate growth for Microsoft and its customers.
She also works with the VC community and
overseas investments made by Microsoft Ventures.
This episode is really great and so,
don't wait and watch it right away.
Our friend James Montemagno is
back with a great blogpost about how to
build VSTS/ TFS Tasks with TypeScript and Code.
And even though James isn't much of a JavaScript guy,
there were no sharp hints of new tiers in this tutorial.
In container news, Docker for Windows gained
Kubernetes support this week which is great.
And everyone's favorite developer,
Scott Hanselman uses this as an opportunity to
walk users through setting up
Kubernetes and Docker for Windows,
and getting it set up to run ASP.NET Core.
Scott, you have stolen my heart with this tutorial.
In other Kubernetes news,
Red Hat acquired CoreOS for $250 million,
so CoreOS now knows where there is gold.
Now, we usually don't
cover non Microsoft news on Channel 9,
but since CoreOS is
such a huge part of the Kubernetes community and
Microsoft has partnerships with
both companies including CoreOS support on Azure,
I wanted to mention this,
also congrats to the CoreOS team for your great exist.
As the saying goes,
"The secret's in the telling."
Which is why it's great that there is a way to
manage Azure Secrets in GitHub repos.
Azure Secrets are authentication credentials
that should not be made public,
like keep those locked away.
These include things like passwords, private keys,
database connection strings, and
storage account keys that are managed by Azure tenants.
To help protect customers,
Azure runs something called credential
scanner aka cred scan.
And cred scan monitors all incoming comments on
GitHub and checks for specific Azure tenant secrets,
like Azure subscription management certificates and
Azure SQL connections strings.
Even better there is a cred scan code analyzer in
early preview for Visual Studio
as part of the Microsoft DevLabs extension,
meaning you can start to check stuff
for secrets while you're coding stuff.
I have a friend who once had his AWS key
stolen from a WordPress plugin he was hosting on GitHub,
and he realized that he
was $10,000 been charged to his account,
so be careful out there.
And I'm glad we have services
like this to keep people safe.
And finally, it's time for my pick of the week.
And hands down, this is
the best pick I can ever remember.
Okay, maybe not, but it's still really cool.
This week on Channel 9's favorite eccentric billionaire,
Elon Musk was selling flamethrowers,
not really flamethrowers, earlier this week
backed by his boring company.
Now, that alone would be newsworthy even if the device is
less flamethrower and more super cool looking blowtorch,
but the best part is that Musk
has already sold out of these devices.
Meaning, he sold 20,000 of
them for $500 a pop, I love it.
Well, that does it for me.
I'm off to fight the good fight,
and I will be at an event next week so
we may not have an episode
of the show, we're not really sure yet.
But we will see you soon.
