In this episode, @Andrew_Connell & @Andrew_Connell share the latest enhancement in Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines with federated identity login via the Microsoft 365 CLI, thanks to Martin Lingstuyl. This new feature simplifies the login process and eliminates the need for app registrations and certificates. The main focus of the episode was the critical discussion of the frustrations and challenges faced by developers due to the lack of robust API support in Microsoft 365. They also discuss the importance of both delegated and application permissions, and why every new feature in Microsoft 365 should be supported by APIs from day one. Understand the impact of missing APIs on business processes and the necessity for comprehensive API coverage in modern development. 📚 CHAPTERS ================================================= 00:00 : Introduction 00:41 : News 19:10 : API First - Lessons Microsoft 365 Can Learn from Azure 52:36 : AC' & Julie's Picks 🔗 LINKS ================================================= News: 🔗 Add login through federated identity for Azure Devops https://aka.codedeploygo.live/SQRpUI 🔗 Nested App Authentication: Now generally available across Microsoft 365 https://aka.codedeploygo.live/JKTOir 🔗 Announcing the updated Teams AI Library and MCP support https://aka.codedeploygo.live/rI4Ydc 🔗 TypeSpec 1.0 GA: API First, Made Practical https://aka.codedeploygo.live/oOsWtZ 🔗 Dev Proxy v0.27 with generating TypeSpec files and configuring using natural language https://aka.codedeploygo.live/w7U83E 🔗 Show HN: An MCP server for understanding AWS costs https://aka.codedeploygo.live/SkkiH9 🔗 Microsoft Copilot Studio ❤️ MCP https://aka.codedeploygo.live/W28umC 🔗 The Azure MCP Server, bringing the power of Azure to your agents. https://aka.codedeploygo.live/lLEG6Y Picks: 🔗 AC: Private Japanese lunar lander enters orbit around moon ahead of a June touchdown https://phys.org/news/2025-05-private-japanese-lunar-lander-orbit.html 🔗 Julie: Netflix's Chefs Table | Legends https://www.netflix.com/title/81712001 🎙️ PODCAST ================================================= 🔗 https://codedeploygo.live 🔗 LinkedIn 👉 https://aka.codedeploygo.live/yt-linkedin 🔗 Bluesky 👉 https://aka.codedeploygo.live/yt-bluesky 🎙️ HOSTS ================================================= Julie Turner 🔗 https://julieturner.net/me Andrew Connell 🔗 LinkedIn 👉 https://aconn.me/pod-cdlg-yt-ac-linkedin 🔗 YouTube 👉 https://aconn.me/pod-cdlg-yt-ac-youtube 🔗 Bluesky 👉 https://aconn.me/pod-cdlg-yt-ac-bluesky 🔗 Newsletter 👉 https://aconn.me/pod-cdlg-yt-ac-newsletter SPONSORS ================================================= Sympraxis (by Julie Turner) 🔗 Website 👉 https://www.sympraxisconsulting.com/ 🔗 Ask Sympraxis 👉 https://symp.info/asksympraxis 🔗 YouTube 👉 https://symp.info/youtube Voitanos (by Andrew Connell) 🔗 Website 👉 https://vtns.io/pod-cdlg-yt-voitanos 🔗 LinkedIn 👉 https://vtns.io/pod-cdlg-yt-voitanos-linkedin 🔗 Bluesky 👉 https://vtns.io/pod-cdlg-yt-voitanos-bluesky Music Credit: Ken Bagley
