Key points about Policy as code
Platform Engineering, Golden Paths, Infrastructure as Code, Policy as Code and AI-ready governance provide the way forward. · The DevOps Tax
Developers are drowning in Kubernetes, pipelines and compliance checklists instead of shipping features. This episode is for engineering leaders and platform teams who want to understand the DevOps tax and replace it with platform engineering, from golden…
Microsoft Graph is far more than just another API—it is the operational backbone of Microsoft 365. This episode explains why relying solely on admin portals limits scalability, visibility, and automation, while Microsoft Graph provides a unified interface for…
ARM templates were once the standard for deploying Azure infrastructure, but as cloud environments became more complex, their JSON-based approach revealed serious limitations. In this episode, we explore why many Azure professionals now see ARM templates as…
Compliance is often treated as a documentation exercise—something organizations prepare for audits rather than embed into their daily operations. In this episode, we challenge that mindset by exploring the concept of Compliance as Code and why modern…
Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase. The real opportunity is no longer deploying a single Copilot—it is transforming how organizations operate through an Agentic Operating Model. In this episode of the M365.fm Podcast, we explore why the future of…
Automation is essential for digital transformation, but many organizations unintentionally create fragile, difficult-to-manage environments by relying on hundreds of disconnected PowerShell scripts and individual Power Automate flows. While each script may…
Azure Bicep is far more than a cleaner replacement for ARM templates—it's an architectural approach to managing cloud infrastructure at enterprise scale. In this episode, we explore how Bicep enables organizations to build modular, reusable, and maintainable…
Platform Engineering is changing how organizations build and operate Azure environments. Rather than treating cloud infrastructure as a collection of individual projects, Platform Engineering creates a shared internal platform that gives development teams…
Think spreadsheets are chaos? Cute. In this episode we stress-test Microsoft Fabric against the worst data you own: photorealistic 3D assets and full-fidelity digital twins. We break down why a single “file” is actually a sprawling supply chain of scans…
Most organizations think governance is documentation. It isn’t. Documentation records decisions after the platform has already decided what it will allow. Governance is control — enforced intent at scale. In this episode, we break down why enterprise…
In this episode of M365 FM, Mirko Peters sits down with Microsoft MVP Jonathan Hope to explore why identity has become the most critical security boundary in modern cloud environments. As organizations move deeper into Microsoft 365, Azure, and cloud-native…
In this episode of the M365.fm podcast, we explore one of the most debated Infrastructure as Code (IaC) questions in the Azure ecosystem: should you choose Terraform or Azure Bicep? Rather than declaring a universal winner, the discussion explains why the…
