Concise monthly summary for 2024-12 focused on build infrastructure simplification and reducing external dependencies across two repos.

November 2024: Build/Deployment modernization across MicrosoftDocs repositories. The primary delivery was the removal of the remote core build script, .openpublishing.build.ps1, across dozens of repositories. This unifies build logic, eliminates external dependencies, and removes remote script execution from the deployment pipeline. Representative repos impacted include MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs-cli, MicrosoftDocs/windows-dev-docs, MicrosoftDocs/CloudAppSecurityDocs, MicrosoftDocs/dynamics365smb-docs, MicrosoftDocs/office-docs-powershell, MicrosoftDocs/powerautomate-docs, MicrosoftDocs/powerquery-docs, and many others. The work was accompanied by a broad set of commits like Delete .openpublishing.build.ps1 across multiple repos, contributing to a more secure and reliable CI/CD stack.
