Hello and thank you to everyone that follows me! 😁

[Simon Forrest @SimonForrest11]

Tonight's meeting in Auchtertool about the 600MW AI data centre.
Fifers are furious. Looks like Fife Council fast-tracking data centre despite it:
- Consuming half of Scottish household electricity
- No Environmental Impact Assessment EIA
- Looking like it has landed from space

9 years ago today, the Glasgow Azure User Group started.

I never imagined lead to 50+ meetups, new skills, friendships, and opportunities.

It’s been stressful at times, but it’s helped shape both my career and confidence. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the journey.

9 years ago, the first Glasgow Azure User Group meetup happened… in a Starbucks ☕

Since then: 50+ meetups and an incredible community built around Azure and learning together.

Proud to be Scotland’s first (and UK’s second) Azure user group. When did you first join us?

I am walking the Off The Beatson track in August to raise money for @Beatson_Charity. It's a cause that means a lot to me.

If you’re able, please donate or share 🙏

In my latest YouTube video, I explain what the .terraform.lock.hcl file is within Terraform, why it exists, how it affects provider versions, and when you should, or shouldn’t, include it in version control.

A lovely surprise in my inbox today, my @STEMAmbassadors Digital Badge, recognising last year’s volunteering.

In my latest YouTube video I explain what data sources are, how they differ from variables and resources, and how to use them in real Terraform projects.
