I am always paying attention to requests from members of the community, and whenever I can, I update this stencil pack with requested shapes or functionalities. And this is one of these cases, Josh asked me to add DevOps offerings stencils in special: Boards, Repos, Pipelines, Test Plans, and Artifacts.
The result was this. I hope you enjoy it.

It was only 9 days ago that I released the latest minor version of this package, on that time the goal was to update the Security and Governance stencils to please my dear friend Nino Crudele. It was then that I notice that Microsoft did again a completely redesigned on several of the symbols and of course add new services so I decided that this was the time to not only refresh the package with the new icons but also but so extra work.
What’s new in this version?
With the growing number of stencils in this package, it was becoming hard to easily find or look for the right shape/representation. So once again based on some feedback I received from the community I decide to do so rearranging. I still have many things to do in this project in terms of organization but for now, these are the changes on this major release:
New shapes: The main additions are all the new shapes on the Azure Portal. New shapes added on:
MIS Azure Stencils: containing all the main Azure Portal Services
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils: all shapes related to AI or Machine Learning scenarios;
MIS IoT Devices Stencils: all shapes related to IoT scenarios:
Microsoft Integration Stencils;
MIS Azure Others Stencils: containing Azure Postal Services, features of the services and other interesting shapes;
MIS Azure Additional or Support Stencils: other shapes that may be interesting in supporting Azure diagrams and designs or presentations;
MIS Azure Stencils: Complete update to this category with many new shapes added and many shapes moved to MIS Azure Others Stencils file;
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils: Complete update to this category with many new shapes added and updating many others to there current stencils;
Add categories:
Microsoft Integration Stencils Old Version Stencils: containing all the oldest versions of stencils (obsolete, deprecated or replaced by a new shape)
Ordered by name: I recently started to sort shapes in alphabetical order. These are the categories already sorted:
MIS Azure Stencils;
MIS Azure Others Stencils;
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils;
Microsoft Integration Stencils Old Version Stencils;
MIS Security and Governance;
Text Annotations: This is a requested feature and I already started to work on it but it will get some time to finish it. For now, you will see text annotations on:
MIS AI and Machine Learning Stencils
SVG Files: Add new SVG files, and uniform the name of the files;

In October, I did a major rearrange and release of my stencils pack mainly because Microsoft redesigned many of the icons present in the Azure Portal, but and guess what? Microsoft didn’t stop it yet. And several of the symbols that suffer a redesigned they already have a new version. So I decide that it is time for me to update my stencils once again, but instead of spending a lot of time and release everything at the same time, like I did last time, I decided this time I will do it in small waves.
What’s new in this version?
The main goal of this release was to provide the new icons present in the Azure Portal and update existing ones. In this version, the changes and additions are:
New shapes: New shapes added on MIS Security and Governance, MIS Developer Stencils and MIS IoT Devices Stencils;
MIS Security and Governance: Complete update to this category with many unique symbols added and updating many others to there current stencils;
SVG Files: Add new SVG files, and uniform all the filenames;

What’s new in this version?
I’m doing some changes in the project in terms of organization and resources but instead of taking too much time doing it from top to bottom, I will be releasing small versions until the job is done. In this version the changes and additions are:
New shapes: near 50 new shapes have been added:
3 related to Microsoft Intune – a requested from a community member;
47 related to Security and Governance;
New category: I add a new file to the project called: Security and Governance with 47 shapes;
SVG Files: I’m starting to provide also the SVG files, from all these resources. At the moment these new shapes that were released in this version are now available in SVG Files on GitHub
I have worked with Azure Service Bus for years and one of the biggest challenges was always how to manage change on the Queues and Topics within a Service Bus Namespace. You could use a tool like Service Bus Explorer to manually make the changes, but this approach is manual and error prone. You can do exports and imports of configuration but a bit like managing SQL Script changes it’s tough to work out the delta and deploy just what’s needed to your various environments. If only there was a way to do this just like you do for any other Azure component with CI and CD pipelines.
Due to personal requests from some members of the community, I decided to release another minor version of my stencils pack that will include the following features:
New shapes: new shapes were added to existing modules like:
Logic App Inline Code (square – original that you can find in Logic App design)
Logic App Inline Code JS (square – original that you can find in Logic App design)
Logic App Inline Code (Custom shape version 1)
Logic App Inline Code (Custom shape version 2)
