Azure DevOps (ADO) teams keep asking for a repeatable way to land on GitHub Enterprise Cloud without babysitting manual Git mirrors. The good news: GitHub’s import surface now covers one-off REST-based imports, the GitHub Enterprise Importer (GEI) GraphQL APIs, and automation-friendly tooling such as the gh ado2gh extension. Below is a field-tested playbook that blends those APIs,… Continue reading Migrating Azure DevOps repositories to GitHub Enterprise with the GitHub import APIs

Synapse deployments with Workload Identity from Azure Pipeline
The official Azure Synapse Analytics deployment extension for Azure Pipelines still ships without Workload Identity Federation (WIF) support, and there is no public ETA for when that capability will land. Rather than wait, I pulled down the same codebase Microsoft uses and produced a like-for-like variant that lights up WIF so anyone who is blocked… Continue reading Synapse deployments with Workload Identity from Azure Pipeline
Securely Trigger GitHub Workflows from Azure Logic Apps Using GitHub App Authentication
In this tutorial, we'll explore how to trigger GitHub Actions workflows from Azure Logic Apps without relying on Personal Access Tokens (PATs). Instead, we'll utilize GitHub App authentication, which offers enhanced security and scalability for automated workflows. 🧩 Prerequisites Before we begin, ensure you have the following: An Azure Logic App (Standard). A GitHub App… Continue reading Securely Trigger GitHub Workflows from Azure Logic Apps Using GitHub App Authentication
Blue-Green and Canary Releases with Zero-Downtime for Azure Functions Flex Consumption with APIM
This solution demonstrates the power of combining multiple Azure services to create sophisticated deployment patterns. As Azure Functions Flex Consumption matures, this approach provides a solid foundation that can be easily adapted when native deployment slots become available. The Challenge: Deployment Slots Without Slots Azure Functions on the Consumption plan has long provided deployment slots,… Continue reading Blue-Green and Canary Releases with Zero-Downtime for Azure Functions Flex Consumption with APIM
Enhancing Azure DevOps with an AI-Powered Backlog Copilot
In the fast-paced world of software development, managing a product backlog effectively can be a challenge. Product owners, scrum masters, and developers often spend valuable time refining user stories, generating tasks, and organizing features. What if we could leverage the power of AI to automate these processes and make backlog management more efficient? Note: The… Continue reading Enhancing Azure DevOps with an AI-Powered Backlog Copilot
Azure Pipeline Task for Microsoft Teams Channel Messages via Graph API
Background Sometimes, you want to send a message to a Microsoft Teams channel from an Azure Pipeline. It is trivial using the Microsoft Teams connectors - that gives you an endpoint to post the message. However, Office 365 Connectors (Including the Teams connectors) are retiring/retied. Therefore, if you want to publish a message to a… Continue reading Azure Pipeline Task for Microsoft Teams Channel Messages via Graph API

Availability metrics and Recovery metrics could ease the design process. Microsoft has some decent guidance that describes the recommendations for defining availability and recovery target metrics for critical workloads and flows. Reliability targets are derived through workshop exercises… Continue reading AI Powered SLA Calculator from Architecture Diagram
AKS Workload identity – A Deeper look
Background Recently, I found myself delving into the intricacies of Workload Identity Federation within Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) while explaining it to some friends. As I delved deeper into the topic, I realized the importance of documenting and summarizing this information for anyone else navigating the same waters - including my future self. So, let's… Continue reading AKS Workload identity – A Deeper look

This blog post is designed to lead you through the steps of establishing comprehensive security measures for an Azure Function App, Azure SQL database, and API Management. Our approach involves leveraging Azure Virtual Network (VNet) for robust network… Continue reading End-to-End Security: Function, Azure SQL, and API Management
Self-Hosted GitHub runner on Azure Container Apps
Last week I have shown how to run Azure DevOps self-hosted agents on Azure Container Apps. Using KEDA with its built-in Azure Pipeline scaler it was relatively straightforward to spin up new replicas in Container Apps. You can read all about that process here. However, today I wanted to achieve the same for GitHub self-hosted… Continue reading Self-Hosted GitHub runner on Azure Container Apps
