I just saw that Azure DNS has gone GA with DNS-based load balancing by integrating directly with Azure Traffic Manager — which means you can now associate an Azure DNS record set with a Traffic Manager profile instead of creating…

I wrote about Azure DNS reaching general availability for DNS-based load balancing by integrating directly with Azure Traffic Manager — you can now “directly associate an Azure DNS record set with a Traffic Manager profile,” so there’s no longer a…

I just read that Azure DNS has reached general availability for DNS-based load balancing via Traffic Manager linked records — now you can directly associate an Azure DNS record set with a Traffic Manager profile without having to create a…

I read Microsoft’s piece on why AI agents need external grounding and came away convinced this is becoming a must-have for real-world systems. The core point is simple: large models are powerful, but their knowledge is bounded by when and…

I came across a clear, practical piece on decision-ghc-router — a small router that decides which Copilot model should run each new user turn in GitHub Copilot CLI and the VS Code Copilot extension. The author separates two ideas I…

I dug into Microsoft’s announcement that the old Fabric data agent custom-tool integration in Microsoft Foundry is being retired — “Starting 11/6, 2026, that integration will no longer be supported.” Previously you had to add a Fabric data agent as…

I read Microsoft’s post “Why AI Agents Need External Grounding” and it lines up with what I’ve been saying: LLMs are powerful, but their weights alone can’t reliably answer questions that depend on recent events or niche technical details. The…

I came across a thoughtful write-up on a project called decision-ghc-router that aims to stop treating every Copilot turn the same. The idea is simple and practical: keep GitHub Copilot doing the work, but add a lightweight Decision Router that—at…

I dug into Microsoft’s update on Fabric data agents and it’s a solid step: Advanced NL2SQL and advanced DAX generation let agents “gather evidence first” instead of guessing in one shot. That means the agent can explore schemas, test joins,…

I read Microsoft’s new post “Agents are your newest insiders. Security must move at their speed.” and it’s a timely reminder that autonomous agents (and the systems that run them) are now a core insider risk. The post explains how…

I dug into Microsoft’s post about why AI agents need “external grounding” and it’s a sharp reminder that models alone aren’t enough. As the article puts it, “Agents cannot act reliably on training-time knowledge alone.” Models have two big limits:…

I dug into Microsoft’s Tech Community post about adding a Decision Router to GitHub Copilot for CLI and VS Code. The core idea is smart and pragmatic: instead of always using the largest (and costliest) model, a Decision Model—powered here…

I tried out n8n’s guide for running AI workflows entirely on an on-prem NVIDIA DGX Spark — no cloud API required — and it’s a great blueprint if you need to keep data in-house for privacy, compliance, or sovereignty. The…

I read Thomas Thornton’s post about using Microsoft’s Agent Package Manager (APM) to keep a consistent set of agent skills and plugins across Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot. He walks through storing a shared manifest and a copy of…

I just read Microsoft’s piece on why “AI agents need external grounding,” and it’s a clear reminder that large models aren’t a complete source of truth by themselves. As the post says, “Agents cannot act reliably on training-time knowledge alone.”…

I read a thoughtful piece about adding a Decision Router to GitHub Copilot CLI and the VS Code Copilot extension that avoids the “always use the biggest model” habit. The idea is simple and practical: use a fast Decision Model…
