Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service in Azure. Not only does it provides a managed cluster, it also integrates with Azure services. In this article we’ll explain the integration between Kubernetes’ services and Azure Networking. We won’t give code sample though as we’ll keep that for a future article. Anatomy of Services … More Kubernetes Services in Azure AKS – Network integration
Azure supports Role Based Access Control (RBAC) as an access control paradigm. It allows to map a user (or a group of users) to a role within a given scope (resource, resource group, subscription or management group). For instance, we could map my user identity to a Virtual Machine Contributor in the scope of a … More RBAC and role assignment using ARM Templates
I recently came across a really nice feature of Docker Build and wanted to share it. Building a Docker Image often requires to build binaries. In my case I needed to build a .NET core application. You might need to build a Java App or any other types of apps. I was using my Docker … More Docker multi-stage build
I’ve recently did some work involving Stored Procedures in Cosmos DB. There are a few techniques to learn when our stored procedures handle large data sets. It is all about continuation. In this article, we’ll look at how to build a robust and scalable stored procedure. We’ll start with a naïve approach and then get … More Cosmos DB Stored Procedures – handling continuation
I often found the need to automate Cosmos DB deployments. I like to have users run an ARM template and be ready to go. Automation is key component to repeatability. It enables automated testing and increase agility in many other ways. ARM Templates don’t go beyond a database account. Take the article Setup for populating … More Cosmos DB Configuration Management
We looked at Azure Container Instances. It allows us to launch a container without a cluster and without a VM. It is ideal for bursting scenarios. In this article we’ll look at another scenario for container instances: automation. The limits of ARM Templates A great tool for automation in Azure is ARM Template. ARM Templates … More Using Azure Container Instances to complete automation
Azure Event Hubs is a data streaming platform as a Service. It is an ingestion service. We’ve looked at Event Hubs as the ingestion end of Azure Stream Analytics in two recent articles (here & here). Here we look at client side performance of different techniques and scenarios. For instance, we’ll consider both AMQP & … More Event Hubs ingestion performance and throughput
