PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2026

Managing PowerShell content in a trusted and reliable environment is a growing requirement for many organizations. This session walks through how PSResourceGet integrates with Azure Container Registry (ACR) and Microsoft Artifacts Registry (MAR) to support secure, trusted package delivery. We will demonstrate how to configure an isolated ACR instance that mirrors upstream content, outline the intended flow for curating and synchronizing modules, and share how ACR can be configured for air-gapped or tightly controlled scenarios.
 
The session also covers improved support for mixed-access scenarios, including registries that allow anonymous pulls while restricting push access to authorized users. ACR behavior in these environments has been refined, and new fixes landing in the next release enable smoother governance, clearer error handling, and more predictable authentication flows. If you manage PowerShell content at enterprise scale, this session will give you the architectural patterns, demos, and operational guidance needed to run PSResourceGet safely and effectively in restricted environments.

Want to sharpen your skills, cut subscriptions, and maybe turn your basement into a personal data center? In this After Dark session, we’ll take a guided tour of today’s most popular self-hosted services and home lab setups — equal parts practical and fun.We’ll start with the basics: homelab hardware tiers (from Raspberry Pi clusters to enterprise gear), design approaches, and common hypervisors like Proxmox, Unraid, and TrueNAS. From there, the good stuff — we’ll explore fun and helpful self-hosted services and satisfying automations:• Centralized identity, reverse proxies, and secure access• Monitoring stacks with Prometheus + Grafana• Pipelines and automation with Jenkins + Ansible• Storage design with ZFS/Btrfs and backup strategies (3-2-1, automation, off-site)• Must-have open-source apps: media servers (Jellyfin, Plex), file sync (Nextcloud, Immich), password managers (Vaultwarden), home automation (Home Assistant), and moreThroughout, we’ll connect home lab tinkering back to DevOps principles: pipelines for service updates, monitoring dashboards for observability, and documentation practices that would make your future self proud.And because it’s After Dark, expect candid stories about what worked, what broke, and why sometimes the “enterprise-at-home” setup sounds better than it actually is.

Mental health challenges are common, yet many of us feel unsure how to help when a friend, colleague, or family member is struggling. This session introduces the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) program, designed to give anyone—not just health professionals—practical tools to recognize early warning signs, respond with confidence, and connect people to the right support.We’ll walk through the MHFA Action Plan (ALGEE), using straightforward examples and realistic scenarios to show how you can make a difference without needing to “fix” someone’s problems. You’ll learn how to listen effectively, offer reassurance, and handle both everyday conversations and moments of crisis.The session also highlights self-care strategies so you can support others while protecting your own well-being. Whether you’re a team lead, developer, or community member, MHFA equips you with clear, actionable steps to create a culture of empathy and safety—skills that are as valuable in tech spaces as they are in everyday life.
