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.

This is the first post in a series of articles where I will show you how to manage an Azure Container Registry (ACR) with Azure PowerShell. In this first post, I want to show you how to create an ACR and use basic Docker commands with your ACR.

Some time ago, I wrote a post showing how to deploy an Azure VPN S2S (site-to-site) from scratch. But this time, I will use the new PowerShell Az module and show you how to deploy it in an existing Azure virtual network.

Hi, today I want to talk to you about Azure Application Gateway. This Azure resource is a web traffic load balancer that redirects traffic (HTTP or HTTPS) to specific resources in a back-end group.

Today I want to talk to you about terraform, this open-source tool that allows us to define, preview and deploy infrastructure on a multitude of cloud providers such as Azure, AWS, and google, using the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).

Azure managed disks have a long list of benefits that make them the ideal choice to use with your virtual machines. One of those benefits is the ability to take snapshots of your virtual disks.

Hi, today I want to talk to you about Azure Virtual Network NAT, this functionality allows us to simplify and unify the outgoing Internet connectivity for virtual networks in Azure. it is configured at the subnet level and all outbound connectivity uses a single specified IP or a range of public IPs.

At the last monthly meeting of the “Coders Cantabria” group, in the facilities of the “Espacio Joven” in the city of Santander. I made a talk about Azure Fundamentals. The talk was held in a very comfortable environment and it was a great experience for me to be able to share and disseminate the essential characteristics of Azure.

Since Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, we have version 3.0 of the SMB protocol. This version includes several SMB security enhancements, one of which is encryption. Implementation of this enhancement enables us to encrypt data transferred over the network between the SMB file server and the client.

Azure Application Service web applications provide diagnostic functionality to logging information from the web server on which the web application runs and the web application itself. These logs provide an excellent way to detect problems and analyze how your application works but this functionality is disabled by default.
