This is a subject that I have not found much or any documentation on, so I wanted to share what I did. When creating the parameters to pass into a Template it can get very long, plus when two arrays depend on each other it can get very complex, so ironically a complex object makesContinueContinue reading “Azure DevOps loop a complex object”

Bash compare version numbers
Here is a little script to help compare version numbers in the format X.X.X using bash/shell.

Terraform plan output to JSON
The Terraform CLI currently doesn’t output the plan to a human readable file when running the plan command.

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”

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.
