This week, I had an opportunity to join a meeting in order to share my experience with military veterans on how to get them ready for the first cloud position interview. We had really awesome participation and a number of questions that benefited all attendees.
Thank you,Ā DouglasĀ for an opportunity to help the transitioning service members and veterans with critical technical and career skills development and tips.
The MSSAĀ provides technical training that enables the service members to leverage their core skills and interests to chartāand startātheir career journey in IT.
Summary
It was truly a unique event to help our transitioning service members and veterans and Thank You to everyone who took some time in providing follow-up feedback on the following LinkedIn post.
I am very honored to prepare an Azure Bicep session for the Azure Dominicana meetup group and would like to thank Gregory for extending his invitation.
As you know, the Azure Bicep language brings a new Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) approach to managing your Azure resources in a clean way. In addition, we also have a classic ARM JSON template that is traditionally used to define Azure infrastructure resources in a declarative way. However, it is not easy to author and maintains ARM JSON templates when your project grows in complexity.
That is when Azure Bicep comes into play, to simplify the management of your infrastructure while re-using code. So, please join my session and I will explain to you how to start using Azure Bicep and easily manage your cloud infrastructure.
Azure Dominicana user group
“This Meetup is for all those interested in knowing and learning more about Azure and trying to keep up with the latest trends and new features.

My session #2
This session is focused on new features and capabilities of Azure Bicep’s latest language. But don’t worry if you never used it before as I will have a brief introduction into what it is and where it could help you.
In this demo heavy session, I am planning to demonstrate how it is simple to create, manage a modularized Azure infrastructure-as-code, while using familiar tools.
We – the #cloudmarathoner community started this journey approximately three years ago with few posts and followers. The idea was to help everyone learn about the #cloudcomputing and #free training resources to help #upskill and launch your #cloud career.
Based on your feedback and support our community has grown to 920+ strong members and we are now empowered to reach more people than before.
Thus, I would like to say “HUGE THANK YOU!” to everyone who has followed or #shared the #CloudMarathoner posts and announcements.
Again, this is the beginning of something “GREAT” that we need to carry on by spreading the goodness and power of #knowledge that empowers people.
CONCLUSION
Thank you for stopping by and checking the announcement. Please, check our architecture and cloud infrastructure as code videos in theĀ #CloudMarathone YouTubeĀ channel.
