Overview of meetings, webinars, and town halls – Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn


“Teams meetings have evolved significantly over the past few years, with the end of live Team events, the introduction of Town Halls, and the strengthening of Teams Premium features. It’s not always easy to understand what is and isn’t included in Teams Premium licences, or to explain the benefits of purchasing this new plan. This documentation and its comparison tables make my job a lot easier today.”

Managed DevOps Pools – The Origin Story – Engineering@Microsoft


“Using Azure Pipelines for CI/CD in a closed network environment requires the use of self-hosted agents, and managing these images was a very labor-intensive task. Even with automation, updates took 5-6 hours and had to be done once or twice a month. It was probably a challenge for everyone.


In this context, the announcement of the Managed DevOps Pools on this blog was very welcome news. It’s not just me; it’s likely the solution everyone was hoping for, and I am very much looking forward to it.”


(In Japanese: Azure Pipelinesを使って閉域環境でのCI/CDはセルフホストエージェントを使わなければならない上に、イメージの管理は非常に大変な作業でした。更新作業には自動化していても5-6時間かかる上に、月に1-2度は行わなくてはなりません。おそらく皆さん大変だったでしょう。


そんな中、Managed DevOps Poolのアナウンスが本ブログで行われました。私だけではなく、おそらく皆さんが望んだソリューションであり、大変期待しています。)
