Authorizing Terraform to Apply Changes to Azure Using SPN

We have discussed setting up a Windows 10 environment to develop terraform scripts in previous post. Let’s understand how to authenticate terraform to deploy infrastructure on Azure platform using a service principle with this post.

Getting Started with Terraform for Azure in Windows 10

Terraform is a great way to setup infrastructure as code (IaC) for Azure. Terraform helps us to codify and version control our infrastructure needs in multiple platforms, hence, making learning terraform for IaC for Azure would let an individual to easily get adapted to other platforms such as AWS. IN this post let’s have a quick look at preparing a Windows 10 machine to get started with terraform.

Change Routing of Azure Function Apps

When you implement functions in Azure by default the routing is the https://functionappname/api/functionname . However, this implementation would not let you proper organizing of routing when you have multiple function apps in your software application project. You might want to create custom routing to make your function access from other application organized appropriately. Let’s look at default behaviors and how we can setup custom routing.

How to Run GitHub Actions Step When a Failure Occurred in a Previous Step

GitHub Actions are the CI/CD workflow implementation tool built into GitHub repos. While using the GitHub Actions workflows you may want to execute a cleanup, or rollback or even a ticket(issue) creation task in a situation where a job step is failed. In Azure DevOps pipelines each task had control support to easy implantations of the run on failure need. Let’s look at what it is in Azure DevOps then understand how we can achieve same goals in GitHub actions workflow steps.
