Is there any options for developers who would like to access the PowerBI API (specifically updating datasource) via AWS Linux-Based lambda?

Hi Everyone,

I was searching for some Live online help for Powershell.
However i didn't find any suitable online live group

So, i thought to create a Skype Group.
Here we can help each other to solve any Powershell issue or puzzle.

Please join me on https://join.skype.com/yY056Inw1A8q

Let's help each other.

Regards,
Param
