To connect an Azure MySQL Database, or other services in Azure, one of the most secure methods to do this is with a Private Endpoint. Microsoft document the architecture they recommend using an App Service connecting to a MySQL Server, which is good if you are using the Azure Portal, but there are some missingContinueContinue reading “Connect Azure MySQL to Private Endpoint with Terraform”

Create User on Azure MySQL Database with Terraform
After you create you Azure MySQL Server, you would like to create a Database, but for security you would like to have a new custom user added with permission. Unfortunately the Azure Providers do not provide this, so we need to use some other skills to get these users in. First we can go aheadContinueContinue reading “Create User on Azure MySQL Database with Terraform”
Unable to delete Azure Subnet due to Resources
With Azure Subnets there is an order to deleting the resources. You must disconnect the Virtual Network Subnets before deleting the resources, or you can’t delete the Subnet. This caused myself some issue, while using Terraform as I kicked a Destroy command and did it in the wrong order. However, I found a method onContinueContinue reading “Unable to delete Azure Subnet due to Resources”
Auto Purge Azure Container Registry Images
When adding images into the Azure Container Registry you might start getting a backlog of images that need to be cleaned down. Azure CLI has some features, but you might want more… With the Azure CLI you can use the ‘ACR’ commands, which contain the option of ‘purge’. This can be combined with a tagContinueContinue reading “Auto Purge Azure Container Registry Images”
Automate Security for Azure Container Registry
From March 2021 Azure is deprecating the Container Setting in Azure Web Apps, which changes you to use the new Development Center. This look very nice, but there is a change that is going to force you to have weaker security. This change is to have the Admin Credentials enabled, but there is something youContinueContinue reading “Automate Security for Azure Container Registry”
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.
