Compare to some other cloud providers, creating an identity via code in GCP is a little fragmented if your using GSuite for your identity storage. The Google Cloud Platform holds your users identity reference and permission, while the other system GSuite hold the security of the users authentication. This can also make the documentation feelContinueContinue reading “Create Identity in Google Cloud Platform and GSuite”

Push Docker Image to ACR without Service Connection in Azure DevOps
If you are like me and using infrastructure as code to deploy your Azure Infrastructure then using the Azure DevOps Docker task doesn’t work. To use this task you need to know what your Azure Container Registry(ACR) is and have it configured to be able to push your docker images to the registry, but you don’t know that yet. Here I show how you can still use Azure DevOps to push your images to a dynamic ACR.
Where to find Azure Tenant ID in Azure Portal?
Some of the documentation about Azure from Microsoft can be confusing and missing, including one I get ask ‘Where is the Tenant ID’. Below I give 3 locations, which there is probably, on where to find the Tenant ID in the portal. I have also added how to get the Tenant ID with the Azure CLI.
Terraform remote backend for cloud and local with Azure DevOps Terraform Task
When working with Terraform, you will do a lot of work/testing locally. Therefore, you do not want to store your state file in a remote storage, and instead just store it locally. However, when deploy you don’t want to then be converting the configuration at that point and can get messy working with Azure DevOps. This is a solution that works for both local development and production deployment with the Azure DevOps Terraform Task.
Authenticate Terraform with Azure CLI
Sometimes there are no error messages and they’re not helpful at all, but sometimes there are error message which are helpful for your debugging of the issues which are the best thing ever. Then again this is only helpful if the error message points you to the correct problem to fix. I stubbled across an issue recently when I could not add a Secret to an Azure Key Vault via Terraform, which the error message did not help at all.
Azure DevOps Pipeline Templates and External Repositories
Working with Azure DevOps you can use YAML to create the build and deployment pipelines. To make this easier and more repeatable you can also use something called templates. However, if you want to use them in multiple repositories you don’t want to repeat yourself. There is a method to get these shared as I will demo.
Azure REST API Scopes
When working with the Azure REST API you need to provide the scope in all API requests, so Azure knows where you are looking. However, throughout their documentation that although they ask for the scope they do not explain or link to an explanation of what a scope is and what the formats are. Therefore,ContinueContinue reading “Azure REST API Scopes”
Deleting Recovery Service Vault Backup Server (MABS)
This is one of them quick shares to try help the world of Azure developers just a little bit. While doing some Azure Development using the Microsoft Azure REST API, I got to a point to working in the Azure Recovery Service Vault. I was trying to delete a Back Up Server Agent using theContinueContinue reading “Deleting Recovery Service Vault Backup Server (MABS)”
