Randy Bordeaux — Automate the boring stuff

Azure Workshops

Dive into in-depth Azure training designed for engineers, focusing on cloud fundamentals, automation, and security best practices. I teach on zoom so if you are interested let me know!

An expansive cloud infrastructure diagram rendered as if it exists physically on a dark slate tabletop, with Azure service icons appearing as small, glossy 3D tiles connected by thin illuminated lines. Some tiles represent virtual machines, storage accounts, and Kubernetes clusters, while others show Terraform files as semi-transparent sheets with code faintly visible. A soft, cool overhead light casts subtle highlights on the tiles’ edges, producing gentle, sharp-edged shadows that emphasize structure and relationships. Shot from a slightly elevated angle, the composition follows the rule of thirds, drawing the eye along the main path of the architecture. The atmosphere is precise, analytical, and forward-looking, in a photographic, hyper-real style that embodies cloud design, DevOps automation, and Azure best practices.

Github Resources

A close-up of a matte-black mechanical keyboard on a smooth wooden desk, with several keycaps replaced by tiny, high-detail Azure service icons and Terraform logos sculpted as physical keys. Behind the keyboard, a single monitor displays a crisp, photographic screenshot of a YAML pipeline and infrastructure-as-code repository in a dark-themed editor, softly blurred to keep focus on the keys. Cool, directional side lighting from the left creates refined highlights on the key surfaces and a faint blue tint, suggesting cloud technology. The composition uses shallow depth of field and an intimate, low-angle perspective, evoking the meticulous craft of automation scripting and Azure DevOps configuration. The mood is focused and slightly dramatic, with a clean, modern, professional aesthetic.

Powershell

Explore real-world powershell scripts for fun and work.
