Read Part 1 here. Read Part 2 here. Read Part 3 here. Read Part 4 here. Today I will be using the traffic-splitting capability of Azure Container Apps. Azure Container Apps implements container app versioning by creating revisions. A revision is an immutable snapshot of a container app version. Revisions in Azure Container App The… Continue reading Demystifying Azure Container Apps & Dapr – Part 5

Empower Kubernetes developers with guardrails
Background A while ago, I wrote a post: Azure DevOps Multi-Stage pipelines for Enterprise AKS scenarios. The idea was having a platform team that enforces best practices, security and other compliance aspects to Kubernetes platform and allows one ore more workload-teams (i.e., product teams) build and deploy their workload into the cluster. The previous post suggested… Continue reading Empower Kubernetes developers with guardrails
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
Azure Resource Governance with Template Specs & Biceps
All the example codes are available in GitHub. Background Governance of cloud estates is challenging for businesses. It’s crucial to enforce security policies, workload redundancies, uniformity (such as naming conventions), simplify deployments with packaged artifacts (i.e., ARM templates), Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) across the enterprise. Generally, the idea is, a centralized team (sometimes… Continue reading Azure Resource Governance with Template Specs & Biceps
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
Azure AD App via ARM Template Deployment Scripts
Background ARM templates offer a great way to define resources and deploy them. However, ARM templates didn’t have any support to invoke or run scripts. If we wanted to carry out some operations as part of the deployment (Azure AD app registrations, Certificate generations, copy data to/from another system etc.) we had to create pre… Continue reading Azure AD App via ARM Template Deployment Scripts
Terraforming Azure DevOps
Background In many organizations, specially in large enterprises there’s a need to automate Azure DevOps projects and Teams members. Manually managing large number of Azure DevOps projects, Teams for these projects and users to the teams, on-boarding and off-boarding team members are not trivial. Besides managing the users sometimes, we just need to have an… Continue reading Terraforming Azure DevOps
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
Continuously deploy Blazor SPA to Azure Storage static web site
Lately I am learning ASP.net Blazor – the relatively new UI framework from Microsoft. Blazor is just awesome – the ability to write c# code both in server and client side is extremely productive for .net developers. From Blazor documentations: Blazor lets you build interactive web UIs using C# instead of JavaScript. Blazor apps are composed… Continue reading Continuously deploy Blazor SPA to Azure Storage static web site
