Implementing & Automating Azure Stream Analytics Pipeline

In our last article, we set out to build a resilient architecture around streaming events.

In this article, we are going to build the solution.  We are going to use an ARM template which automates deployment.  We will also go through the configuration of different services.

The goal...

Taming the fire hose: Azure Stream Analytics

We came upon an interesting challenge recently.

Let’s have a stream of events pouring in.  The source is unimportant.  Hundreds, peeking at thousands, of events per second.

We need to update a table in Azure SQL with a summary of the events.

Let’s just assume the events are about...

More reliable Replica Sets in AKS - Part 2

In Part 1, we discussed how, by default, replica sets in AKS aren’t highly available.  In this article, we conclude the discussion.  We propose an approach to deploy highly available replica sets.

The objective of this article isn’t to propose a novel way to deploy replica sets in...

More reliable Replica Sets in AKS - Part 1

Availability is a core architecture attribute often sought after.

We’ve taken a look at Azure Managed Kubernetes Cluster (AKS) here.  In this article (part 1), we’re going to experiment and prove that replica set aren’t “highly available” by default.  In part 2 , we’re going to look at how...

Understanding identities in Azure AKS / Kubernetes

We’ve recently looked at Azure AKS (Kubernetes Cluster Managed Services).  We’ve looked at how to create a Kubernetes Cluster with 3 lines of Azure CLI.

With this we are able to interact with the cluster & deploy containers.

There is a bit of “auto magic” happening in...
