Last March, my colleague Danny Guillory and I embarked on an idea based on your feedback—a targeted and interactive web series focused on “real talk” around unified endpoint management. We wanted it to be open to everyone and reasonably transparent. We wanted to foster a live community event where we could not only bring on guests from Microsoft engineering teams, but also (more importantly) engage with you directly through live Q&A!
So far, the level of engagement has been amazing. You’ve asked questions and we’ve tried our best to provide answers or find answers when we couldn’t. We’ve been listening to your feedback (really appreciate it!) and taking your ideas to the product teams developing Microsoft Endpoint Manager. Now we continue our monthly web series in 2022 and are innovating the show further by:
- Bringing in customers and industry professionals to share their experiences and best practices around Endpoint Manager (capital “E”, capital “M”) and endpoint management.
- Expanding the platforms through which you can consume the show (podcast option, anyone?)
- Opening up the ability for you to post questions one week in advance of each show so you can make sure your questions get in.
- Exploring new topics as well as revisiting previous topics with more proven and recommended practices alongside out-of-the-box thinking and ideas around innovating endpoint management.
And so, Unpacking Endpoint Management continues—the first Friday of each month—in 2022 here on the Tech Community! Our next episode will be this Friday, February 4th at 8:00 AM Pacific Time!
Remember to follow Wheaton’s Law and keep it civil. And finally, don’t forget to bookmark https://aka.ms/UnpackingEndpointManagement for a list of future episodes! In addition, you can find a list of previous episodes – now on demand – including the now-famous “Policy Pizza Party” premiere episode.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released a Private Industry Notification (PIN) to warn entities associated with the February 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and March 2022 Paralympics that malicious cyber actors could use a broad range of cyber activities to disrupt these events. These activities include distributed denial-of-service attacks, ransomware, malware, social engineering, data theft or leaks, phishing campaigns, disinformation campaigns, and insider threats. Additionally, the FBI PIN warns Olympic participants and travelers of potential threats associated with mobile applications developed by untrusted vendors. The FBI urges all athletes to keep their personal cell phone at home and use a temporary phone while attending the events.
CISA encourages all travelers to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics to review FBI PIN: Potential for Malicious Cyber Activities to Disrupt the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics and apply the recommendations.

Hello friends,
Welcome to a new year and the first AKS on Azure Stack HCI update in 2022. The January update is now available!
As always, you can also evaluate AKS-HCI any time by registering here. If you do not have the hardware handy to evaluate AKS on Azure Stack HCI you can follow our guide for evaluating AKS-HCI inside an Azure VM: https://aka.ms/aks-hci-evalonazure.
Here are some of the changes you’ll see in the January update:
Kubernetes 1.22 support
We’re delighted to share that AKS-HCI now supports Kubernetes 1.22. Notable new features in Kubernetes 1.22 include Windows enhancements, a new PodSecurity admission feature, API server tracing feature, generic data populators, and more. Learn more
Please note that Kubernetes release 1.22 comes with a number of deprecated APIs. Please migrate to non-deprecated/stable APIs and test your workloads and environments before upgrading your production environments. To read more about the deprecation of old Kubernetes APIs, click here.
Support for AKS on Azure Stack HCI and Windows Server clusters with SDN enabled
With the latest AKS-HCI January release, we support running AKS on Azure Stack HCI and Windows Server clusters with Software Defined Networking (SDN) enabled by using the same external virtual switch. With this support, your AKS-HCI cluster and pods running on a traditional VLAN network will co-exist with SDN VMs running on a SDN logical network or a SDN virtual network.
Improved error messages and new PowerShell warnings for Restart-AksHci and Uninstall-AksHci
January includes updated warnings and a confirmation prompt for both Restart-AksHci and Uninstall-AksHci to prevent unexpected data/configuration loss.
Documentation for fixing certificates after a break
Many of us shut down our deployments (management and target clusters) for the holidays then came back to find our local deployments in an unmanageable state. Under the hood, this is because cluster certificates are rotated every 3-4 days for security reasons.
We have published a series of guides to help get going again after deferred use or maintenance. That includes a guide for:
- Repairing a cluster that has been shutoff for more than 4 days
- Repairing a cluster that hasn’t been used for more than 60 days
- How to recover if the certificate renewal pod enters a crash loop state (rare)
Documentation for getting applications up and running in Kubernetes
There are new docs this month to help get a scoped set of applications up and running in AKS on Azure Stack HCI. Check out our docs for:
While not a specific application – we also have a new doc on setting up an ingress controller, which is important for all web apps.
Once you have downloaded and installed the AKS on Azure Stack HCI January 2022 Update – you can report any issues you encounter and track future feature work on our GitHub Project at https://github.com/Azure/aks-hci. And, if you do not have the hardware handy to evaluate AKS on Azure Stack HCI you can follow our guide for evaluating AKS-HCI inside an Azure VM: https://aka.ms/aks-hci-evalonazure.
I look forward to hearing from you all!
Cheers,
Sarah
