KQL Quest — Kingdom of Signals

Every locked door needs a correct KQL query. Investigate synthetic Azure incidents in a browser-based 2D platformer, built with colleagues for our team’s Microsoft Global Hackathon 2026 project.

Configuration authoring

MC Builder

A browser-based starting point for Azure Machine Configuration. Create an authoring project, then build with the official tools.

The builder exports a source project; official tooling builds the final MOF, package and policy artifacts.
