One of the security recommendations established by Microsoft in Azure Security Center is to enable diagnostic logs in Key Vaults. This lets you know how, when, and by whom your key vaults are accessed.

Hello everyone, in this post, I want to show you how to deploy an Azure bastion host to connect securely, directly from the Azure portal, to all your virtual machines within your virtual network without the need to expose the RDP or SSH ports to the internet.

The last Monday, I passed the Microsoft AZ-301 exam: Microsoft Azure Architect Design. And I can now finally call myself a Microsoft Certified for Azure Solutions Architect. I am really happy, it was hard work, but I think it was worth it.

Today I want to talk to you about Azure DevOps CLI. This extension of Azure CLI allows us to manage the Azure DevOps Services from the command line. The first step to using Azure DevOps CLI is to check that the extension for Azure CLI is installed.

A User Principal Name (UPN) is an attribute that is an internet communication standard for user accounts. A UPN consists of a UPN prefix (the user account name) and a UPN suffix (a DNS domain name).

In this post, I’ll show you how to create a standard DDoS plan and associate it with an existing virtual network using PowerShell and the Azure CLI. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks are becoming more and more frequent and it is one of the main security problems that customers who have their resources in the cloud must face.

Today, I passed the Microsoft AZ-300 exam: Microsoft Azure Architect Technologies. This is the first of the two exams that I am required to pass, in order to obtain the “Microsoft Certified for Azure Solutions Architect” again.

Hi, today I want to talk to you about immutable storage. Immutable Storage is an Azure Blob Storage capability that allows you to store business-critical data in a WORM state (write once, read many).

Hi, today I want to talk to you about Azure Management Groups. These groups help us create an effective and efficient hierarchy to manage our Azure subscriptions. If you have many subscriptions, at some point you will need a way to effectively manage access, policy, and compliance for those subscriptions.

Last Monday, I passed the Microsoft AZ-500 exam: Microsoft Azure Security Technologies. And I can now finally call myself a Microsoft Certified: Azure Security Engineer Associate. I am really happy it was hard work but I think it was worth it.

By default, Azure Storage accounts allow clients to send and receive data with the oldest version of TLS (1.0). If you want to apply stricter security measures to your storage account, this article could be of interest to you.

Today I want to talk to you about Azure Network Watcher, a handy tool to diagnose and repair the state of the IaaS network. Once this tool is enabled in our region, we can use various tools to check and repair the communication between the different resources of our virtual network, such as virtual machines, virtual networks, application gateways, load, etc.

Hi, As you know, by default, resources deployed to an Azure virtual network that need access to the Internet will use the system-defined default routes to use the Azure backbone. Forced tunneling allows you to redirect all Internet-bound traffic to your on-premise location through a site-to-site VPN tunnel, thus allowing you to manage, inspect, and audit outgoing traffic on your Azure network.

In the last weeks, I received many questions regarding how to prepare for the Microsoft Azure Exam AZ-400. That is why today I want to tell you in this post, my journey and tips to reach that goal.

The last Monday, I passed the Microsoft exam MS-100: Microsoft 365 Identity and Services. Again, due to the global pandemic, I have taken the exam using OnVUE’s online proctored modality. I am very excited to obtain a new Microsoft certification.

The last Friday, I passed the Microsoft exam AZ-400: Designing and Implementing Microsoft DevOps Solutions. For the first time, due to the global pandemic, I have taken the exam using OnVUE’s online proctored exam mode, and I must say it is a very convenient alternative.

Hey, it’s Jorge. In this mini-post, I want to show you how to enable boot diagnostics on Azure virtual machines. This feature can be activated using the portal or command-line tools, but today, I will show you how to enable this debugging feature using PowerShell and Azure CLI.

Today in this mini-post, I want to show you how to redeploy an Azure VM. This is normally a process that most people do from the Azure Portal, but it can also be done from the command line.

Hello everyone, as I mentioned in my previous post, today I want to show you how you can use a webhook to trigger events when certain actions are performed in your Azure container registry (ACR).

As I mentioned in my previous post today, I want to show you how to enable the geo-replication of your ACR. This feature will allow us to manage a single registry across all regions, push images to a single registry while the Azure service manages the replication, and last but not least, allows us to keep images very close to the application infrastructure.
