The Ops Team #004 - "A Dysfunctional Dongle"

The Ops Team is a new weekly show where 4 Technical Evangelists specializing in IT Operations get together to give you the deets on their 4 areas of expertise: Microsoft Azure/Cloud, On-premises datacenter technologies, Enterprise Mobility / Windows and DevOps. 

This week on The Ops Team, all 4 of the guys make it into the studio but trouble with a particular HDMI dongle, combined with potential user-error on the tricaster means we're stuck on the single video angle this week! Oh and we only realized during the editing process!  Doh!

In the news, Rick talks about his new favorite hat, specifically a Red Hat, with the news that Red Hat Enterprise Linux is soon going to be a supported workload within Microsoft Azure virtual machines, and additionally, he sparks a debate on the Hokey Cokey vs. the Hokey Pokey. David gives us a heads up on the use of Kanban to stay on top of your tasks. Matt brings us up to speed with the latest announcements in the Operations Management Suite, specifically around Linux support, along with some cool stats on deploying VHDX files onto the Resilient File System (ReFS).  Finally, Simon wraps up talking about his use of Trello, along with a deeply technical TechNet article on controlling the health of Windows 10 devices!

Here's all the links and info on the topics we covered, along with the time stamps to jump to specific points in the video.
