Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications.

Docker Compose

Very Important concepts to begin with:

From Web development standpoint, Docker compose is definitely one of the more exciting pieces of doctor. It’s a great way to automatically manage the life cycle of your application in the development environment and get it up and running and stop it.
With the docker-compose we can run it through a doctor compose build process. And this build process can actually generate images that we can then use to create containers.

Creating Docker-Compose File

Docker-Compose uses YAML files as inputs for creation of Services. The docker-compose file contain following fields…

The Microsoft definition of Azure Monitor is a comprehensive solution for collecting, analysing, and acting on telemetry from your cloud and on-premises environments. But what exactly this really mean? Good logging and reporting are often not implemented at all in many project because many reasons.

Azure Monitor is the service that allows developers and DevOps engineers to make a stronger argument for making Monitoring a first-class citizen because of its efficiency, variety of features.

Azure Monitor can be divided into 3 main areas:

• Insights : Azure Monitor includes several features that provide valuable insights into your applications and other resources…

The world of DevOps is continuously changing with constant idea of only one thing “Business Value”. An organisation has the expectation to continual delivery of new value, new capability for business and DevOps enables this.

And the most important is : In this new world of DevOps (Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment), we still need to ensure compliance and security are enforced.

Compliance Manager

In a compliance world, we have shared responsibilities related to configuration and compliance as customer and vendor. This is why Microsoft have these compliance solutions that show responsibility splits, enables us to track compliant state of the Microsoft services.

Compliance…

PowerShell is a task-orientated shell and scripting solution for Windows system administrators. But PowerShell DSC extends on that idea and provides a declarative syntax that enables people who don’t know anything about the particular IT resources they want to deploy to configure and maintain a particular state for that IT resource, even if they don’t know how to achieve that goal from a technical point of view.

PowerShell allows us to provide a configuration for each server, and ensure that every time the server is deployed, it gets deployed in exactly the same way with the same configuration, and that…

What’s the big deal with DevOps and ARM templates for infrastructure? And why should business care about the latest version of something. What really counts is business value?

Now, Business value is what organisations expect from technology today, and they expect that value to be delivered quickly, efficiently, constantly, these constant builds of incremental value. And with Infrastructure as a Code (IaaC) is the first step to leverage the value.

What is Azure Resource Manager?

All of modern Azure functionality is built on the Azure Resource Manager management and deployment service that define all those resources that use JSON to declaratively.

Now there are very…

In this article, I am covering some of the important concepts behind Azure Role Based Access Control.

Security Principals:

An object that represents an individual, collection of individuals, an application or a service that requires access to an Azure resource, for example Azure WebApp, Azure VM or Blob Storage.

Now, these applications and services can be represented as a thing called a Service Principal.

Scope:

The scope is the boundary that access applies to the following levels:

• Management Group
• Subscription
• Resource Group
• Resource

Why Azure RBAC?

Principle of least privilege is that only grant that access which is actually required rather than that access that might…

The SOLID principles are comprised of five individual principles for writing better software, especially in object-oriented languages. Let’s see one by one:

1. Single Responsibility Principle:

Class should have one, and only one, reason to change.

What is responsibility exactly means? : It’s a decision our code is making about the specific implementation details of some part of what the application does. Responsibilities in our code represent things that may change at different times and for different reasons. This is closely related to following points:

• Loose Coupling: Loose coupling refers to approaches that can be used to support having different details of the application…

Service Fabric is a core of Microsoft Azure Cloud, which enables many more services such as Cosmos DB, SQL Server, Cortana, and others, but also allows you to build our own back ends based on Microsoft’s years of rich experience.

Before starting getting in to Azure Service Fabric, let’s see how it differs from Kubernetes:

Programming Models

In general, there are four different approaches to create a microservice in Service Fabric.

1. Reliable Service:

Reliable Services are the easiest way to start with Service Fabric as they’re somewhat similar and sometimes identical to a usual Windows service or a Linux daemon application. …
