Part 1 of this article is here. Last time, I created an empty Azure Container Apps Environment using Bicep. I also created some required components like Key vaults, Log analytics workspace, Application Insights and Computer vision. Application Architecture Today I want to make progress on that. As I have briefly explained before, I want to… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 2

Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 1
I have played with Dapr on Kubernetes (AKS to be specific) before and loved it for its ability to simplify distributed applications development with out of the box binding, service to service communications, secret abstractions, actors and observabilities. I have previously worked with LinkerD and Istio as service mesh and ran workload in production, but… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 1
Elastic self-hosted pool for Azure DevOps (on Kubernetes)
UpdateThere is a follow up post with some updates, you can read here. Introduction If you are using Azure Pipelines, then you surely have used Microsoft-hosted agent. With Microsoft-hosted agents, maintenance and upgrades are taken care of for you. However, there are times when self-hosted agents are needed (i.e. customized images, network connectivity requirements etc.).… Continue reading Elastic self-hosted pool for Azure DevOps (on Kubernetes)
Bridge to Kubernetes – be confident on shipping software
Bridge to Kubernetes is a successor of Azure Dev Space. Distributed software’s are comprised of more than one services (often referred as micro-services), they depend on each other (one service invoking APIs of another service) to deliver capabilities to end users. While separations of services bring flexibility in delivering features (or bug fixes) faster, it… Continue reading Bridge to Kubernetes – be confident on shipping software
Restricting Unverified Kubernetes Content with Docker Content Trust
Docker Content Trust (DCT) provides the ability to use digital signatures for data sent to and received from remote Docker registries. These signatures allow client-side or runtime verification of the integrity and publisher of specific image tags. Image source: Docker Content Trust Through DCT, image publishers can sign their images and image consumers can ensure… Continue reading Restricting Unverified Kubernetes Content with Docker Content Trust
Azure DevOps Multi-Stage pipelines for Enterprise AKS scenarios
Background Multi-Stage Azure pipelines enables writing the build (continuous integration) and deploy (continuous delivery) in Pipeline-as-Code (YAML) that gets stored into a version control (Git repository). However, deploying in multiple environments (test, acceptance, production etc.) needs approvals/control gates. Often different stakeholders (product owners/Operations folks) are involved into that process of approvals. In addition to that,… Continue reading Azure DevOps Multi-Stage pipelines for Enterprise AKS scenarios
Linkerd in Azure Kubernetes Service cluster
In this article I would document my journey on setting up Linkerd Service Mesh on Azure Kubernetes service. Background I have a tiny Kubernetes cluster. I run some workload there, some are useful, others are just try-out, fun stuffs. I have few services that need to talk to each other. I do not have a… Continue reading Linkerd in Azure Kubernetes Service cluster
