My Contributions

In addition to creating my own projects, I also enjoy contributing to other projects.

azbrowse - an interactive CLI for browsing azure resources

This is a fantastic project created by Lawrence Gripper - see the Getting Started docs for a taster of some of the functionality.

I’ve contributed various PRs, including:

Added Azure API spec parsing to allow digging deeper into Azure Resource Manager (ARM) endpoints
Enabling editing of JSON and submitting to ARM (where PUT/POST is supported) to make changes to Azure resources
Early work to export Azure resources as Terraform
Custom actions for nodes
Data-plane support for
- Storage blobs
- Container Registry
- Kubernetes Service (allows drill-down into the Kubernetes API)
- Cosmos DB (SQL Database endpoint)
- Databricks (allows drill-down into the Databricks API)

VS Code Remote Containers (aka dev containers)

Contributed the initial work to enable dev containers to work with source code in WSL 2: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/master/remote-release-notes/v1_44.md#progress-on-wsl-and-wsl-2-support

I get a lot of enjoyment from sharing ideas in both written and spoken form. This page has a summary of publications and speaking events.

Writing

In addition to this blog and the items below I also previously blogged at https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/stuartleeks.

WSL 2: Tips, Tricks and Techniques

After a number of blog posts and user group sessions on the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), I was approached by Packt Publishing to write a book! The books is a practical, hands-on tour of WSL and covers tips for working with it alongside Windows Terminal, Docker, Kubernetes and Visual Studio Code
