As more workloads are being migrated to the cloud, security should always be a top priority.

Session Manager is a fully managed AWS Systems Manager capability. You can use an [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
