Initiatives#

The initiatives are where the vision becomes something you can use. Each one is a product — a framework, a set of reusable actions, an editor extension — that answers a single question:

What would this look like if it were easy, to move fast, in a safe way?

The vision, principles, ways of working, and coding standards are written once, here, and inherited by every initiative. Products grow, change, and occasionally retire; the principles they express stay put.

Page	Description
PSModule	The GitHub + PowerShell framework — reusable modules and the actions that ship them.
AzActions	Reusable building blocks for automating Azure on GitHub.
TFActions	Reusable building blocks for automating Terraform and infrastructure as code.
VS Code Extensions	Editor tooling that brings the MSX way of working into VS Code.

How they fit together#

    V["MSX — vision, ways of working, coding standards<br/>(this site)"]
    V --> PS["PSModule<br/>GitHub + PowerShell framework"]
    V --> AZ["AzActions<br/>Azure automation"]
    V --> TF["TFActions<br/>Terraform automation"]
    V --> EXT["VS Code Extensions<br/>the way of working, in the editor"]

Each initiative inherits the principles on this site rather than restating them — read the vision once, see it applied many times. New ideas are incubated in MSXOrg — tooling, infrastructure, and experiments — before they earn a place of their own.

A living map#

This list grows and changes as the work does. What stays constant is the relationship: every initiative points back to the Vision. When you want to know why something is built the way it is, the answer is here; when you want to see what that looks like in practice, open an initiative.
