Complete title
Controlling multiple Azure tenants with Microsoft365DSC and Azure Pipelines

Summary
In this session I, Raimund Andrée, delves into the topic of managing multiple Azure tenants with Microsoft 365 DSC and Azure Pipelines.I encourage listeners to dive deeper into the topic and create feature requests if important resources are missing.

I mention that this project initially started in 2022 with three major customers in Germany and has now expanded to include Swiss customers. However, I note that the documentation for this project, like many others, is not up to par. To address this, I inform listeners that plans are in place to provide a lab setup automation tool, which will allow them to control and test the solution themselves. The documentation for this tool should be available in July or August.

I emphasize that the principles of this project remain the same as in the DSC workshop, which covers the basic principles of DSC and provides exercises for managing configurations and setting up release pipelines. Whether it's managing group policies, nodes, or Azure tenants, the goal is to understand how to configure using a hierarchical configuration data model.

I conclude by thanking listeners for tuning in and encourage them to stay updated for further developments in the project. If they have any questions, I invite them to ask.
