Chatroom Highlights

Adam, what sort of pipeline do you use for your deploys? Is it strictly code or handles the entire infrastructure stack?

don’t forget to ## in front of questions

Is Pester scheduled? As in scheduled task or user driven?

when using it to test infrastructure, could I use it to ensure that the deployment team deployed their IIS web app properly as well as the DB is connecting and such? Or am I just looking at the wrong tool?

could you expand on what mocking is and why I’d wanna do it?

Don: any big plans for the IT Ops news & talk podcast? I see the first episode launched a few weeks back.

mocking is similar to simulating?
