Well, I was in the understanding that after DataYork, I would need to “travel” to Oslo in the beginning of September… But things will end up different I understand. Just after pressing the Closing button for the DataYork user group, Sessionize contacted me that I am invited to do Data Toboggan on June 24th. Yes that is during my holidays. But, no problem. I can do! Due to rain last Thursday we drove home from Collogne.

Welcom back. Yesterday I created the LAW and added a sentinel solution to it. Next to that we also configured some values which you should do. As promised I would continue my preparation today. Not to difficult but it had to be done. I have fresh Windows 11 NUC on which I do work on a daily base. The nuc is capable enough, i7 and 16 GB. So I decided to add Hyper-V to it.

Hello all. I must admit, last week I was counterproductive. There where reasons… The most influencing was the fact that my monitor died. Would not be a big problem, but I cannot work without my 43 inch IIyama.. It gives me enough room to work on various things, including my day to day work. But.. I survived. I will continue today on my journey towards #DataYork. Another thing we need to do is to create the Log Analytics workspace and add the Defender stuff to it.

When connecting to my Azure tenant, I found out that I have no uhh… active subscription created. But in another tenant I have one. So with AZ login I switched to another tenant. If you want to know how to validate some subscription stuff and related items, you can go to the CodingWithAZ.blog page: https://codingwithtaz.blog/2021/08/20/create-management-groups-and-subscriptions-with-bicep/ That page was helpful for me. I needed to have my details like billing account etc.

As people know I am publicly speaking at York User group. My chat will be about how Defender for SQL can be useful to protect your SQL data. Microsoft has delivered Defender for SQL first for cloud, but now you can also use this on premise. In this Series of Blogs I will keep you posted on how I prepare for the first speak. I have done a similar talk in my company, but I must admit, that is much easier.
