 Lets admit that migration of any sort is a pain and migrating something to the cloud for the first time is always challenging. I have been going through this for quite some time and finally had the chance to play with Azure Migrate and it has been a good experience overall. If you plan to go to Azure you will have 2 choices for your current environment:
Azure MigrateThe Azure Migrate service assesses on-premises workloads for migration to Azure. The service assesses the migration suitability of on-premises machines, performs performance-based sizing, and provides cost estimations for running on-premises machines in Azure. If you’re contemplating lift-and-shift migrations, or are in the early assessment stages of migration, this service is for you. After the assessment, you can use services such as Azure Site Recovery and Azure Database Migration Service, to migrate the machines to Azure. Why use Azure Migrate?Azure Migrate helps you to:

I recently created a Microsoft Office 365 development environment via https://aka.ms/offdp I was creating an environment to do some SharePoint Modern theming (I created a new Communication Site via the modern Admin interface on my new tenant), but noticed the classic (rather the older) Change the Look interface:  When you create a new Office 365 group, there will be an associated SharePoint Team site is created automatically. In this case, we need a new Group with an existing team site. To start with, make sure connect to Office Group is enabled at tenant level. Login to SharePoint Online Admin Center >> Click on Settings from left navigation. In settings page, under "Connections from sites to Office 365 groups", Set "Allow site collection administrators to connect sites to new Office 365 groups".  Now, you can connect your SharePoint Online sites to Office 365 groups. To connect an existing SharePoint Online site to new a Office 365 group, follow these steps:
Login to SharePoint Online site collection with Site collection administrator rights >> Click on the Settings gear icon >> Select "Connect to new Office 365 group". You are now presented with overview page about a quick explanation of what will be created by Office 365 for your site collection what's going to happen by connecting your site to an O365 group. Click on "Let's get started" We all know that Get-SpoSite cmdlet contains more than one parameter set and you may only use parameters from one parameter set and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. Moreover, it retrieves and returns properties of all site collections that match the given criteria. But sometimes you run into weird issues when you are doing the most common things. In this case, one of my friend was cleaning up his demo Office 365 tenant. To make an overview of all site collections, he ran the following cmdlet: Cmdlet
This would make a list of all site collections that are available in Office 365 tenant and export it to a CSV file. When going through it, he noticed that none of the site collections were flagged as a hubsite. This couldn’t possibly be true as he created many hub sites for testing purposes. I decided to check this in my own tenant to see if it was a local problem. So let’s see what happens. IssueRunning the following PowerShell returns all site collections that contain the word intranet.  Since ASP.NET Core 2.2 was released I have been working on getting all my different applications updated and using in-process hosting. I pretty quickly hit an issue with an application that uses SQLite. As soon as the application tried to access the database I ended up with the following error. SqliteException: SQLite Error 14: ‘unable to open database file’. Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteException.ThrowExceptionForRC(int rc, sqlite3 db) Microsoft.Data.Sqlite.SqliteConnection.Open() Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Storage.RelationalConnection.OpenDbConnection(bool errorsExpected) Issue and Work AroundAfter some Googling, I found an issue on GitHub that details the problem. It turns out that when the application gets its current directory it is returning the path to the IIS process that is hosting the application instead of the directory when the application is.
On another GitHub issue, I found a link to a recommended workaround. Add the following class somewhere in your application. This code comes here. Scrum ArtifactsScrum Artifacts – results/products of our management activities – are designed to increase transparency of information related to the delivery of the project, and provide opportunities for inspection and adaptation. There are six artifacts in Scrum:
Items 5 and 6 might look more like activities, but they are considered artifacts in the Scrum Guide, and therefore we will explain them as so. You can imagine their output (tracking information, burn-down charts, etc.) as the real artifacts and these two items as ongoing activities (like Product Backlog grooming) or part of the Scrum events (part of Sprint Review and Daily Scrum). 1. Product Backlog
In Part 1 we extensively covered the basics about Scrum, Agile Manifesto , the Principles, facts and myths about Scrum and the roles within the team. In this post we will concentrate on understanding and will do a deep dive analysis of: - Scrum Events - Scrum Activity - Backlog Grooming - Scrum Activity - Slack SCRUM EventsScrum events are designed to enable critical transparency, inspection, regularity, and adaptation. You must prefer to use these predefined meetings with fixed objectives and maximum durations instead of ad-hoc meetings, which most likely waste our time. There are just five events in a Scrum Project: 1. Sprint: Each Scrum project is a set of Sprints. A Sprint is a container for the four other events (as represented in the above diagram), development effort, and the maintenance of the Product Backlog. 2. Sprint Planning: Sprint Planning is the first event inside a Sprint. The Scrum Team plans the items they are going to deliver in the Sprint and the way they will deliver them. 3. Daily Scrum: The Development Team starts working on the objectives of the Sprint as soon as Sprint Planning is completed. During the Sprint, the Development Team holds a daily meeting (normally 15 minutes) to coordinate the work for the next 24 hours. This meeting is called the Daily Scrum. 4. Sprint Review: Before the end of the Sprint, the Development Team presents (demonstrates) the outcome of the Sprint to the customer and receives feedback. This meeting is called Sprint Review (also known as Sprint Demo). 5. Sprint Retrospective: After the Sprint Review and just before the Sprint is over, the Development Team holds an internal meeting to review the Sprint and use it to improve the process (lessons learned) in the next Sprint. This meeting is called Sprint Retrospective.  Time Box ConceptTime Box is an essential concept in Agile methods, a predefined fixed maximum duration of time in order to maximize productivity in which we freeze the target and work with full focus on certain tasks or objectives. Time-boxed events repeat many times, until the final goal of the project is achieved. All the changes are applied only when one time-box is finished and we are ready to start the next one.
The duration of a time-box should be agreed upon and fixed. We are free to change the duration based on lessons learned, but not frequently, and never based on single occasions. For example, we are not allowed to say that “we have a lot to do this time, so let’s increase the duration for this particular case”. What we are allowed to say is “based on the previous ten time-boxes, we realized that the duration of our time-boxes is not suitable, and a 30% increase in duration might better fit our needs. So, let’s increase them from now on”. After some thought i have decided to write and share some of the basics about Scrum. A lot of people have different views, theories and ways of doing things which they call Scrum. While i do not contest some of those practices but its essential to understand the concepts and strongly agree that every organization team will need to mold and churn some process to make things work. So in this series of blogposts, the first one will be addressing the following: - Scrum and Agile - Agile Manifesto - Agile Principles - When to use Scrum VS other Methods - Facts and Fibs about Scrum - Scrum Timeline - Scrum Roles and Team At a later time, i'll share the more advanced stuff and also touch base with SAFE. Scrum and AgileIt is not possible in some projects (especially in IT projects) to gather all the requirements upfront because of their extreme uncertainties. Therefore, we need a project management method flexible enough to deal with many change requests that appear during the project and keep the project team productive. There are a number of systems designed to provide these two properties, and a group of them are called Agile Frameworks. Scrum is a project management method of the Agile group; it is the most famous and the most broadly used one. Scrum is based on a certain process, which i'll explain in the next few blogposts as we progress. This Scrum process will not be effective, unless it is combined with certain roles and artifacts. Given the diversity of operating systems supported by Docker and the differences between .NET Framework and .NET Core, you should target a specific OS and specific versions depending on the framework you are using. For Windows, you can use Windows Server Core or Windows Nano Server. These Windows versions provide different characteristics (IIS in Windows Server Core versus a self-hosted web server like Kestrel in Nano Server) that might be needed by .NET Framework or .NET Core, respectively. For Linux, multiple distros are available and supported in official .NET Docker images (like Debian). In the image below you can see the possible OS version depending on the .NET framework used.  You can also create your own Docker image in cases where you want to use a different Linux distro or where you want an image with versions not provided by Microsoft. For example, you might create an image with ASP.NET Core running on the traditional .NET Framework and Windows Server Core, which is a not-so-common scenario for Docker.
When you add the image name to your Dockerfile file, you can select the operating system and version depending on the tag you use, as in the following examples: I have come across this issue of Date and Time in SharePoint that i feel like writing an email to Microsoft for making this the most confusing thing ever . When you create a Date column you have the choice of Date and Date & Time.  Note the keyword “Format” in that option. Even if you select “Date Only”, your users can still type, or copy and paste, a date and a time and it will be stored as a date and time. But… only the date will be displayed. Time is Fraction of a DateAfter considerable amount of wasting my effort and countless guess work, i came to understand that Times are represented as parts of a day.
