I'm looking for - and struggling to locate - any indication of when Ansible 2.7 will be released to the Azure Cloud Shell Bash environment. Currently Cloud Shell is at 2.6.3. Googling and DuckDuckGoing etc. and searching Microsoft's sites has not yielded much on this.
As of today, Ansible is showing 2.7.0 in Azure Cloud Shell. We make a regular release update every 2 weeks, coinciding with new releases of Azure CLI 2.0. We try to bundle OSS tooling updates as well - keep in touch with us at aka.ms/cloudshell/feedback for tooling you believe may be outdated.
Thanks for being a user!

Recently been trying to learn Airflow, but a majority of resources online depended on this repo https://github.com/puckel/docker-airflow which unfortunately has been removed.
I am not familiar with docker so I'm just trying to set up locally and play around with Airflow. I'm on a windows setup and have already gotten docker working on my computer. Does Airflow have a quick-set-up file for a docker-compose? Or is there any other resources I can look at? Thanks.
Its a duplicate question.
Use official official docker-compose.yml see here
I recently added a quick start guides to the official Apache Airflow documentation. Unfortunately, this guide has not been released yet. It will be released in Airflow 2.0.1.
For now, you can use the development version, and when a stable version is released it will be very easy for you to migrate. I don't expect any major changes to our docker-compose.yaml files.

Years back, there was a Microsoft package manager called PackageManagement (aka OneGet), which seems to be based on PowerShell command conventions, and was extensible.
Recently, Microsoft introduced another package manager tool known as winget, which is still considered pre-release. It seems not to use the PowerShell conventions.
What is the relationship between these two?
Is WinGet going to replace OneGet, or will there be some sort of interop?
There is no relationship other than both were created by Microsoft, apparently by different teams at different times.
PackageManagement (formerly OneGet, est. 2014) is a unified manager that does not have its own repository. It relies on other providers instead (for example ChocolateyGet, PowerShellGet). Since it is all PowerShell, it offers good CLI and scripting experience.
WinGet is still in preview (as of August 2021). It will be part of App Installer app distributed through Microsoft Store. WinGet has a repository of packages maintained on GitHub. The client is written as native C++ console application. All output is text-only and lacks all the nice things PowerShell gives us.
There is a third-party OneGet provider for Winget and also quite strong user voice to add official PowerShell support. See the following GitHub issues:
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/221
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/674
WinGet gets regular releases, so there is hope WinGet will improve and add official PowerShell support.
I followed the official guide on using the google cloud sdk with python 3, and I was able to install the latest sdk (273.0.0) with the google app engine and python components. Now I'd like to use the launcher instead of the cli commands in the guide to run my project but I cannot find it anywhere.
The README file in my current installation of the app engine in my AppData/local folder says that the App Engine Launcher should have a desktop shortcut and an executable at C:\Program Files\Google\google_appengine\launcher\GoogleAppEngineLauncher.exe but neither shortcut nor executable path exist. I also looked through the AppData folder and didn't find it.
Was the launcher never present/removed from the app engine version I installed? Was it in the README by mistake? Or could the installation be incomplete?
I actually didn't know that this tool existed, quite interesting.
Many people seemed to have liked this feature and used it extensively in order to have easier deployments and not have to go to the CLI but I think it might be deprecated.
I found relevant information in this Google Groups thread where people we're discussing the usability of this function and the transition of it when App Engine SDK joined the Cloud SDK.
You can see that appcfg was deprecated in July this year and the shutdown date is set for July 2020.
You might be able to still install it and use it with Python 2 until shutdown but I do not think there is a new version available for Python 3.
Hope this helps.
Yes, many years ago, to deploy GAE, Google provided an installable desktop app called GoogleAeppEngineLauncher. I'm quite certain that it is no longer available and would not even function if you were somehow able to obtain a copy.
You now must use the gcloud commands to deploy your app.
I recently opened an account with PythonAnywhere and learnt it is an online IDE and web hosting service but as a beginner in python 3.4, what exactly can i do with it?
PythonAnywhere dev here,
You can use PythonAnywhere to do most of the things you can do on your own computer with Python
start a Python interactive console (from the "Consoles" tab)
edit a python file and run it (from the "Files" tab)
The exception is that, if you want to do things with graphics, like use pygame, that won't work on PythonAnywhere. But most text-based console things will work.
You can also do some more funky things, like host a web application ("Web"), and schedule tasks to run at regular intervals ("Schedule"). If you upgrade to a premium account, you can also run "Jupyter Notebooks", which are popular in the scientific commmunity.
If you need help with anything, drop us a line to support#pythonanywhere.com
Pythonanywhere is a cloud PAAS, what that means is you can just worry about coding and leave the headache of hosting, platform, DB and PAAS considerations on pythonanywhere. Anyone who has tried to deploy a website prior to the cloud days can attest to how many more things developers had to worry about
A good example to get started

I'm currently working on a github project mainly focused on windows users, written in Java. Install4j allows for easy .deb/.rpm etc. package conversion...
We could just ditribute the .deb on the download side, but when looking at gitlab a while ago, I saw, that Gitlab is using packagecloud.io as a hosting service for their packages (usingtheir own domain), so they can be updated using apt-get.
My question is, if there is a free service working just like packagecloud.io (not launchpad or similar with baazar and that advanced stuff) which can either be hosted on our own server or a public server. Or if there even is a downloadable version of packagecloud.io which we could use on our own server.
You can configure Travis CI to run extra commands when the build succeeds. You can put in some conditions, so that the deploy stage will only be run if commit happens to have a tag name. See the deployment documentation to get going.
A number of providers are officially supported, among which PackageCloud.io.
You might find the dpl utility useful, as it assists with writing and testing deployment settings.

I think this is what you're asking for. This is a package hosting server that can make packages available for both Debian (APT) and Red Hat (RPM) files.
