TLDR: dbatools is moving to Azure Trusted Signing, which means Microsoft backs our reputation and dbatools won't trigger as many antivirus false positives. Users upgrading from older signed version...

If you're a #DBA or #Dev working on #SQLServer or #AzureSQL, I hope you are clued into the fantastic #PowerShell library at DBAtools.io. Michael D'Spain shares an example that we should all implement as a regular drill - automated DB restoration testing!

I am just a microscopist with social anxiety. But seeing #Covid impact on the brain through the lenses of the microscope has affected me. It’s hard not to feel for the millions sick everywhere.

Below is a 2021 video about our research. Can we please keep talking about #LongCovid?

Tired of inconsistent, slow, boring GUI?
Looking for a keyboard and console-only experience?

Look at the latest version of the VPAX command line tool (beta/preview/unstable/funny).
It's so cool...
We are so back! 😎
