    Meh...

    Here is the exact case you mention, just WAY worst. This is something I did for chocolatey community:

    https://gist.github.com/choco-bot/a14b1e5bfaf70839b338eb1ab7...

    This page checks ~250 web sites for updates on various software. Today it has 6 errors and usually never much more. On my own location I keep ~60 packages and I get errors I tackle errors maybe once a year.

    Check out the settings which make it so robust:

  • PSTeams

    PSTeams is a PowerShell Module working on Windows / Linux and Mac. It allows sending notifications to Microsoft Teams via WebHook Notifications.

All those new cards have their own cmdlets and the old version of creating Teams Cards stays as-is for compatibility reasons.

    I think you should be able to accomplish with DSC, and the SqlServerDSC module.

But, DSC works on-prem, too.
