Azure Web App – Removing IP Restrictions
Azure Web App allows us to configure IP Restrictions (same goes for Azure Functions, API apps) . This allows us to define a priority ordered allow/deny list of IP addresses as access rules for our app. The allow list can include IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Source: MSDN Developers often run into scenarios when they want to… Continue reading Azure Web App – Removing IP Restrictions
Deploying Azure web job written in .net core
Lately I have written a .net core web job and wanted to publish it via CD (continuous deployment) from Visual Studio Online. Soon I figured, Azure Web Job SDK doesn’t support (yet) .net core. The work I expected will take 10 mins took about an hour. If you are also figuring out this, this blog… Continue reading Deploying Azure web job written in .net core
Zero-Secret application development with Azure Managed Service Identity
Committing the secrets along with application codes to a repository is one of the most commonly made mistakes by many developers. This can get nasty when an application is developed for Cloud deployment. You probably have read the story of checking in AWS S3 secrets to GitHub. The developer corrected the mistake in 5 mins,… Continue reading Zero-Secret application development with Azure Managed Service Identity
Secure Azure Web sites with Web Application Gateway wtih end-to-end SSL connections
The Problem In order to met higher compliance demands and often as security best practices, we want to put an Azure web site behind an Web Application Firewall (aka WAF). The WAF provides known malicious security attack vectors mitigation's defined in OWASP top 10 security vulnerabilities. Azure Application Gateway is a layer 7 load balancer that provides WAF out of the box. However,… Continue reading Secure Azure Web sites with Web Application Gateway wtih end-to-end SSL connections
CQRS and ES on Azure Table Storage
Lately I was playing with Event Sourcing and command query responsibility segregation (aka CQRS) pattern on Azure Table storage. Thought of creating a lightweight library that facilitates writing such applications. I ended up with a Nuget package to do this. here is the GitHub Repository. A lightweight CQRS supporting library with Event Store based on… Continue reading CQRS and ES on Azure Table Storage
3D Docker Swarm visualizer with ThreeJS
Few days before I wrote about creating a Docker Swarm Visualizer here. I have enjoyed very much writing that peice of software. However, I wanted to have a more funny way to look at the cluster. Therefore, last weekend I thought of creating a 3D viewer of the cluster that might run on a large… Continue reading 3D Docker Swarm visualizer with ThreeJS
Docker Swarm visualizer
A visual representation facilitates understanding any complex system design. Running micro-services on a cluster is no exception. Since I am involved in running and operating containers in Docker swarm cluster, I often wonder how better I could be on top of the container tasks distribution is taking place at any given moment, their health, the… Continue reading Docker Swarm visualizer
Azure template to provision Docker swarm mode cluster
What is a swarm?The cluster management and orchestration features embedded in the Docker Engine are built using SwarmKit. Docker engines participating in a cluster are running in swarm mode. You enable swarm mode for an engine by either initializing a swarm or joining an existing swarm. A swarm is a cluster of Docker engines, or… Continue reading Azure template to provision Docker swarm mode cluster
ASP.net 4.5 applications on Docker Container
Docker makes application deployment easier than ever before. However, most of the Docker articles are often written how to containerized application that runs on Linux boxes. But since Microsoft now released windows containers, the legacy (yes, we can consider .net 4.5 as legacy apps) .net web apps are not left out anymore. I was playing… Continue reading ASP.net 4.5 applications on Docker Container
