From Outage to Edge: A PowerShell Observability Journey
summary
A real outage drives creation of a concrete solution: an LLM co‑pilot scaffolds a multithreaded PowerShell agent that runs frequent concurrent checks (default 2.5s), logs in UTC, and produces roughly 1,600–4,000 lines of code; that agent runs cross‑platform, is containerized with Docker, deploys to Raspberry Pi devices, pushes JSONL telemetry to Azure blob storage, and a Python web service visualizes failures — the demo shows the fleet detect a simulated failure in real time.
