Unleashing Parallelism in PowerShell
If you’ve been around PowerShell for a while, you know it’s great at looping through stuff. Need to process a list of files? Easy. Query a set of servers? Piece of cake.

Unleash C# in PowerShell for Astonishing Script Power
PowerShell is built on top of the CLR (Common Language Runtime) of .NET, which means the two are already deeply connected. But here’s something that often surprises people: you can actually use .NET directly inside PowerShell.

Azure Containers (When to choose what 😕)
I love containers; the peace they bring by abstracting away the underlying infrastructure is a massive game changer. You just package your application, define the running environment, and it just runs, anywhere! But when it comes to running containers in Azure, the abundance of options can be overwhelming. Should you go serverless? Use AKS? Or […]

Monitoring & alerting Azure App Services with Logic Apps & Slack!
This is not the first time I’ll be writing about event-driven architecture, nor will it probably be the last time 😊.

Pre-Auth/Easy Auth with Azure App Services & downstream token setup with a custom API
Azure App Services by default are open to the public, allowing external connections to your trusted app. Sometimes setting the status of your App Service from public to ‘private’ is not something you want.

Managed Identity and GRAPH permissions
Many Azure resources support the configuration of managed identities which help you grant permissions to your resource(s). For instance, you need to grant your WebApp permissions to KeyVault to get Keys/Secrets.

A single public outbound IP for Azure (app) resources!
I regularly run into situation where PaaS resources are used which require external connectivity. For example, to API’s or to third party services that use whitelisting to allow only certain IP’s to access their resources. Whether you’re building APIs that need to communicate with external services or implementing security measures that require predictable outbound traffic! But […]
