Terraform is like any other coding language, there should be code quality and pride in what you produce. In this post I would like to describe why you should have code quality and detail some of the aspects you should be consistently doing every time you produce code. Code Quality is like when you areContinueContinue reading “Terraform Code Quality”

What you want in a DevOps Engineer
DevOps and DevOps engineers are not a new concept, but there is still a little unknown as to what they are and what they cover. Therefore, it can be hard to gauge what you should look for when recruiting a DevOps Engineer and the skill set that is required. Not all the skills they needContinueContinue reading “What you want in a DevOps Engineer”
Azure DevOps loop a complex object
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”
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.
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.
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.
