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.

Allow Azure Services on SQL Server with Azure CLI

Allow Azure services on Azure SQL Server lets other Azure Services such as function apps, app service apps etc. to be connected to an Azure SQL Server without needing to allow the outbound IPs of such services. You can enable this easily using the portal. Let’s look at how we can Allow Azure services suing CLI.

Git Repo Submodule Checkout in Azure DevOps Build Pipelines

Submodule in Git repos help you to keep the common code modules in a separate repo and utilize in multiple other repos. When you clone the git repo you can include submodules by using git clone --recurse-submodules. In Azure pipelines you can enable checking out the code with submodules for build and package purpose. Let’s have a look at the settings to enable submodule checkout in builds.

Cross Repo Branch Policies in Azure Git Repos

Azure Git repos provide protection to branches with branch policies. The cross-repo branch policy in a team project now lets you define policies applicable to a branch pattern, where it would even be applied to future branches which are adhering to the specified pattern. Let’s explore this feature in bit of detail.

Azure Web App Creation with Azure CLI --runtime Specification Issues in PowerShell Scripts

PowerShell scripts and Azure CLI is a good combination to use for creating infrastructure as code targeting Azure platform. When creating an Azure app service app on Linux, you need to provide the --runtime argument specifying the web app runtime or the platform of the source code getting deployed. In a PowerShell window the command with --runtime argument fails, since a piping symbol is used in runtime arguments.

Deploying Infrastructure to AWS Lightsail Using Azure DevOps – Part 3 – Creating a Release Pipeline to Deploy AWS Lightsail Infrastructure

In the previous two post, we have discussed how to write a bash script with AWS CLI to create AWS Lightsail instance and, how to setup a service connection in Azure DevOps for AWS. IN this post, lets explore the steps required to get the bash script executed in a release pipeline to create AWS Lightsail infrastructure.

Deploying Infrastructure to AWS LIghtsail Using Azure DevOps – Part 2 – Creating a Service Connection

In the previous post, we have discussed how to write a bash script with AWS CLI to create AWS Lightsail instance. In order to run this script to create AWS Lightsail instance via Azure DevOps we need to make a service connection to AWS from Azure DevOps. Let’s look at the steps to create such service connection.
