Advent of Code 2021

This gist contains some Advent of Code solutions for the 2021 season.

Nexus-Cleanup

Remove old releases from a Nexus3-repository

This Groovy-script will purge old versions (sorted by version-number) from a repository hosted on Nexus 3.x.

You can set the desired repository and a maximum amount of versions at the beginning of this script.

JPRuskin

function Get-DeploymentTiming {
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory)]
        [string]$ResourceGroupName,
        [string]$DeploymentName
    )
    begin {
        $Context = Get-AzContext
        if (-not $script:Token -or $Token.ExpiresOn.LocalDateTime -lt [DateTime]::Now) {
            $script:Token = Get-AzAccessToken

#requires -Modules Az.Accounts, Az.KeyVault
using namespace Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Common.ArgumentCompleters
using namespace Microsoft.Azure.Commands.Common.Authentication.Abstractions

# function Get-AzLabCredential {
    <#
        .Synopsis
            A function that returns a credential object, given a pair of secrets in a KeyVault

        .Example

JPRuskin

using namespace Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Common.ArgumentCompleters

function Invoke-AzVmScript {
    <#
        .Synopsis
            Runs a script block or file on a given Azure VM

        .Notes
            This takes a surprisingly long time to run, and is a bit flaky. Any output past 4096 characters is not returned.

JPRuskin

#requires -Modules Az.Accounts
using namespace Microsoft.Azure.Commands.ResourceManager.Common.ArgumentCompleters

#function Add-JitAccess {
    <#
        .Synopsis
            Adds a JIT exception to VMs in the provided Resource Group
        .Notes
            Until we have an Az.Accounts version that works with Az.Security, we cannot use the provided cmdlets to maintain JIT. This is a workaround.
        .Example

Advent of Code

This gist contains my attempt(s) to solve the Advent of Code 2020 puzzles, in as many ways as I fancy.

JPRuskin

<#
    .Synopsis
        Copies save data from the EGS version of Remedy's Control to Steam's save location.

    .Description
        Old save files appear to be in a file structure similar to:
            %LocalAppData%\Remedy\Control\Default-Epic-User\savegame-slot-00\global.chunk
        Save files for the Steam version seem to be in the format:
            Steam\userdata\<user-id>\870780\remote\savegame-slot-00_global (no extension)

function Add-AzStorageAccount {
    <#
        .Synopsis
            This function creates a standardised storage account in the ResourceGroupName

        .Example
            Add-QmAzStorageAccount -ResourceGroupName AUSC1-FRG -Name ausc1frgdiagag3249b -Location "uscentral"
