How to Create a Logic App Connector in an ARM Template

I wanted to automate the performance test setup we discussed in the last article.  This includes a Logic App calling into a Cosmos DB stored procedure.

Logic App uses connectors when connecting to other services, either within or outside of Azure.  Now how do we...

Cosmos DB Performance with Geospatial Data

Time for some performance tests on Cosmos DB around Geospatial coordinates!

Let’s hurt the service and see where it shines, where it has a hard time and how scaling it (i.e. increasing Request Units or RUs) helps.

We’ll publish an how-to create the same setup in a future article...

Invoking a Stored Procedure from a partitioned CosmosDB collection from Logic Apps

I struggled a little to make that work, so I thought I would share the learning in order to accelerate your future endeavour.

I was looking at a way to populate a CosmosDB quickly with random data.

Stored Procedures came to mind since they would skip client-server latency.  We can call a stored procedure creating hundreds of documents with random...

Renaming Virtual Machine Disks

Let’s say we would like to rename disks on a Virtual Machine (VM).  Here we mean renaming the Azure Resource Name of the managed disk.  How would we go about that?

Why would we want to?  Primarily to get our internal nomenclature right.  A typical example is when we...

Azure Virtual Machines Anatomy

Virtual Machines can be pretty complex little beast.  They can have multiple disks, multiple NICs in different subnets, can be exposed on the public internet either directly or through a load balancer, etc.  .

In this article, we’ll look at the anatomy of a Virtual Machine (VM):  what are...
