It's so cool what we can do right now with GitHub Copilot. Grounding my infrastructure planning document with Bicep MCP, Azure MCP and GitHub Copilot for Azure tool calls.
Very easy to do with custom chat mode. Blog post on this next week!

Working on a complex expression in a Bicep template. It's so great to call Microsoft Docs MCP to let the agent learn about a function and then combine it with best practices tools from GitHub Copilot for Azure.

🚀GitHub Coding agent is awesome! It’s doing a chore for me that I have ignored for a while.
Fixing dead links by removing them from a markdown. Easy task to offload to GitHub Copilot. Create an issue, assign Copilot and boom. It’s working for you.

Just noticed GitHub Actions shows progress bars per job in the workflow overview. Not sure when this was released, but a very useful feature if you ask me. 🚀
![GitHub Actions workflow view showing a multi-job pipeline in progress. Each job in the deployment stage includes a horizontal progress bar, visually indicating how far along each job is. One job has a label ‘Deploy [defaults]’ with a progress bar partially filled and the text ‘Deploying to avm-validation’.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:476yrzninay3kt44ae4tdkqn/bafkreifkhpmfxwqvveokabkmiuxqev3wnyxidut75mgmkinxcdelp3bdx4@jpeg)

💪 Did you know that Azure Verified Modules now expose the subnet child resource in the container registry?
In the latest Bicep Community Call, the AVM team showcased a new capability: deploying the subnet child resource without needing to deploy the parent virtual network.

Pro tip! I learned that you can use a shortcut to switch between Ask, Edit and Agent mode in GitHub Copilot using
@vscode.dev.
MacOS: command + .
Windows: CTRL + .
Will save you a few clicks a day:

Same prompt, different results. Both have errors, but small enough to quickly fix it yourself. I added the version 0.18.0 myself.

ChatGPT Canvas is amazing (using o1)! I made a small web app which lists pending Azure Pipelines based on selected Azure DevOps Projects. Azure DevOps does not have this natively. From terminal script to web app! (+-2 hrs of work)
