About

My name is Alistair Ross and I am a Cloud Solution Architect for Microsoft. 

What does this mean exactly? Customers of Microsoft have bought our products and want to get the most out of them, but do not necessarily have the skills or knowledge to do so in a timely manner, that’s where we come in.

I am a problem solver at heart, this is where my skills come to life, you come to me with a problem, I will try and find you a solution. However over the years I haven’t been that great at taking the solutions to the next level, writing it down and sharing it with the rest of the world. I’ve had a few projects over the years which are in various states in my GitHub Repo, feel free to check them out.

I specialise in a few technologies, but am passionate about a lot, including (but not limited to)

• Microsoft Sentinel
• Microsoft Defender for <Insert Defender name here!>
• Azure Monitor
• Azure Logic Apps
• Azure Functions
• Azure Infrastructure in General
• PowerShell
• Python
• Kusto Query Language

I have some “Legacy” skills as well because my primary role nowadays is a cloud first role,

• System Center Operations Manager
• Most on-prem Windows technologies!

As I build this blog out, please do ask me questions, things that you would like to know or issues you have. I will be taking inspiration from my customers, my colleagues and all of you out in the wider world.
