Azure 101: Subscriptions And Management Groups

2023-03-20T01:55:37+00:00

In Microsoft Azure, a subscription is an agreement between a customer and Microsoft on how to pay for and access Azure services. It is paid based on the consumption of services within the subscription. For example, if you provisioned Azure Virtual Machines, App Service, Azure SQL Database, and other services, your subscription will be billed based on using these services. There are many types of subscriptions. Each type of subscription may have various characteristics and limitations, such as the maximum number of a specific virtual machine size that can be provisioned or the number of tags in a resource group. However, you [...]

Azure 101: Regions And Availability Zones

2023-03-20T01:52:44+00:00

Natural disasters are no laughing matter that we can take for granted; they can seriously mess up a business and its operations, especially when using traditional on-premises IT infrastructure. Luckily, with Azure regions and availability zones, companies can have a backup plan to ensure data redundancy, disaster recovery, scalability, and remote access. With Microsoft Azure, companies can continue to operate even in the face of natural disasters. This means that businesses can stay operational regardless of what Mother Nature throws their way. Azure Regions are geographically discrete data centers located in different locations around the world. It provides locations across [...]

Don’t Learn AWS Until You Know These Things

2023-05-24T11:39:31+00:00

Learning AWS is like trying to drink from a firehose. At least, that's how I remember it felt when I jumped into AWS years ago as a non-IT guy. I often bounced around between different articles and Youtube videos, struggling to make sense of all the concepts. One moment, I'd be focusing on an EC2 tutorial but then realize I needed to understand VPCs first, so I'd click over to a video about networking. Each time I tried to grasp a new concept, it would lead to another until I found myself lost in a maze of information. It was [...]

Creating And Mounting An Azure File Share

2023-04-26T07:58:47+00:00

A file server provides organizations with a system to centrally store, manage, and access files within a network, such as documents, images, videos, logs, etc. With file servers, users can easily share and collaborate on files with others. Azure Files is a fully managed file share solution that aims to replace or supplement on-premises file servers. It is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering by Microsoft Azure that is accessible by SMB and NFS protocol and Azure Files Rest API. You can mount Azure files using Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations. Azure files have many benefits, including the following: [...]

Deploying Docker Images To Azure Container Apps

2023-04-26T07:59:52+00:00

Containers, cloud-native, and microservices are all used in modern software development and deployment. A container is a standalone executable package that contains everything needed to run a piece of software, creating an isolated environment for the application. While microservices are an architectural paradigm for developing applications composed of small, independent services. This enables teams to autonomously build, deploy, and grow their services, increasing the speed and agility of the development process. In Microsoft Azure, there is a fully managed service called Azure Container Apps, where you can deploy, manage, and scale multi-container applications and microservices. You can run your containers [...]

Reduce The Cost Of Your Lambda Functions With Event Filters (Part 2 of 2)

2023-04-27T03:15:40+00:00

Introduction In the first part of this post, we covered the concept behind event filtering in AWS Lambda and learned how it could help you save money by invoking functions only when necessary. Now it's time to put that knowledge into practice. In this part 2, we’ll see event filtering in action using Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) as the event source. Overview A user sends a JSON message to the SQS queue. Event source mapping picks up the message from the queue and evaluates it against the specified filtering criteria. Event source mapping invokes the Lambda function synchronously when [...]

Reduce The Cost Of Your Lambda Functions With Event Filters (Part 1 of 2)

2023-04-27T03:17:39+00:00

Problem statement You are primarily billed based on how long your Lambda functions run and how often it is invoked. This is why AWS Lambda is great for scheduled jobs, short-duration tasks, and event-based processes. But does this mean you shouldn’t use them for high-volume traffic applications? Well, the short answer is... it depends. Whether or not to use AWS Lambda for high-volume traffic workloads ultimately depends on the requirements of your application and the cost trade-off you're willing to make. Regardless, if you ever find yourself wanting to use Lambda in a high-activity application like stream processing, it’s good [...]

SFTP On Your Ubuntu EC2 Instance – Quick and Simple Setup

2023-04-27T03:22:05+00:00

SFTP, which stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol, is a method of transferring files between computers. It operates over SSH (Secure Shell) and uses public-key cryptography for authentication. This means that your login credentials and file transfers are encrypted, making them much more secure than the traditional FTP (File Transfer Protocol). Why SFTP over SCP? SFTP and Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) are both network protocols that you can use for transferring files. They also both run on the same default port (22) for  SSH. However, when it comes to transferring large files securely, SFTP stands out as the better option. [...]

Automate Resources In Azure Using ARM Templates

2023-04-27T03:29:48+00:00

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is a method of running IT infrastructure that automates, configures, and manages systems and networks using scripts or code. It can work with a variety of file formats, including JSON and YAML. YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) is a data serialization format that is commonly used in Ansible, Kubernetes, and other tools. While JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a popular data interchange format that is frequently used in AWS CloudFormation, Terraform, and other tools. Both YAML and JSON are simple to understand and can be used in a variety of IaC tools. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) [...]
