Day 12, 13, 14, 15 of AzureDevOps 🚀 1. Azure security (DevSecOps), created project admins so they can view the activity and allow and manage the project. 2. edited the YAML and added a task to scan the code and see if the code has any vulnerability. 3. Added tokenized YAML file to prevent the secrets from being exposed, used Azure key vault to store secrets. 4. Created a QR code generator function using the Azure function. 5. Created Azure Wiki which is a documentation solution within a devops suite. 6. Azure service principle has a wide scope, one should prefer resource manager. #azuredevops #azure #azurecloud #cloudcomputing #devops #learningandgrowing #happylearning

🚀 Streamlining Terraform State Management with Azure Blob Storage 🌐 In my latest project, I integrated Azure Blob Storage to manage and store all my Terraform state files while creating infrastructure and resources. This approach provided several significant benefits: Enhanced Collaboration: By centralizing the state files, multiple team members can work simultaneously without conflicts, ensuring seamless collaboration. State Locking: Azure Blob Storage automatically handles state locking, preventing concurrent state modifications and ensuring consistency. Improved Security: Storing state files in a secure, private container enhances security, safeguarding sensitive information contained in the state. Simplified Management: Using a managed backend like Azure Blob Storage reduces the complexity of handling state files manually, allowing for more focus on infrastructure development. This integration has greatly improved our workflow, making the infrastructure as code (IaC) practices more reliable and efficient. #DevOps #Azure #Terraform #CloudInfrastructure #StateManagement #InfrastructureAsCode

Hello LinkedIn Members ! Learning to Earning ! Devops with DevOps Insiders 😎 🔒 Enhance Your Azure Networking with Private Endpoints vs. Private IPs! 🔒 Azure networking just got more secure! 💡 Understanding the difference between Private Endpoints and Private IPs is crucial for fortified network architecture. 🔗 Private Endpoints: The ultimate bridge between your VNet and Azure services. They seamlessly link a private IP address from your VNet directly to specific Azure services. Result? Secure, private access without exposing services to the open internet. 🌐 Private IPs: Assigned to individual resources within your VNet, these addresses facilitate internal communication among your network's components. Think of them as the private identities for resources within your network's boundaries. Mastering this distinction empowers you to fortify your Azure infrastructure with enhanced security and controlled access. Safeguard your data and streamline internal communications with precision and confidence. #AzureNetworking #PrivateEndpoints #PrivateIPs #AzureSecurity #DataProtection Let's build robust, secure networks together! 💪🛡️✨ Happy Learning 😊 !

Here why, OpenTofu appears to be a solid choice for both IaC and DevSecOps. Well, it seems like OpenTofu is gaining traction as a solid choice for both Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevSecOps deployments. Even with all the changes happening with HashiCorp, IBM, and Terraform, OpenTofu is standing strong. What makes OpenTofu stand out? There are a few reasons. First off, it's got some robust security features, like end-to-end state encryption and flexible security options. So, we can trust our infrastructure is safe. What else? Well, it seamlessly integrates DevOps and security practices, which is pretty neat. Plus, the transition to OpenTofu seems pretty smooth with detailed guidance and comprehensive documentation and also, It's got dynamic functionality, so we can create custom functions on the fly, and by managing infrastructure is simplified with features like resource removal from state files and loopable import blocks. And what about community support? The community around OpenTofu is thriving. There's a lot of engagement, which means we've got a strong network to learn on for support and collaboration. #OpenTofu #IaC #DevSecOps #InfrastructureAutomation #devops #devsecops #cloud #security

This project gave me life! it was absolutely everything I incorporate into my everyday cloud engineering role, just not all in one day!!! I decided to do this project because it incorporated so much of the tools that make a successful DevSecOps Pipeline. Its also refreshing to see all the upgrades and changes in AWS public cloud, as I have had my head buried in the GovCloud environment. #cloud #DevSecoOps #AWS #womenintech #womenincloud #cloudengineer #cybersecurity #CICD #projects

Demystifying Kubernetes Services: ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer Kubernetes offers powerful networking capabilities, and understanding its service types is crucial for managing application connectivity. Let’s explore the three main types of services in Kubernetes: ClusterIP, NodePort, and LoadBalancer. 1.ClusterIP: ⏭️Description: The default service type, ClusterIP, exposes the service on an internal IP within the cluster. It’s only accessible from within the cluster, making it ideal for internal communication. ✅Use Case: Great for microservices that need to communicate with each other. 2.NodePort: ⏭️Description: NodePort exposes the service on a static port on each node’s IP address. This makes the service accessible externally via <NodeIP>:<NodePort>. ✅Use Case: Useful for basic, external access to services without the need for a load balancer. 3.LoadBalancer: ⏭️Description: LoadBalancer creates an external load balancer that points to the service. It integrates with cloud provider’s load balancers, providing an external IP that routes to the service. ✅Use Case: Ideal for production environments where you need to expose services to the internet with high availability. #API #Performance #DevOps #TechTips #WebDevelopment #Scalability #HybridCloud #Kubernetes #CloudComputing #TechComparison #DigitalTransformation #CyberSecurity #OAuth #OpenIDConnect #TechHeroes #APM #CloudPerformance #Terraform #Sentinel #Ansible #Cloudwars #InfrastructureAsCode #CloudComputing #DevOps #CloudSecurity #Automation #ITGovernance #CloudInfrastructure #ITCompliance #CloudGovernance #HashiCorp #Azure #Aws #Gcp #TD #CIBC #BMO #Google #Microsoft #Amazon #Tesla #CloudManagement #DevSecOps #InfrastructureAutomation #DevSecOps #TechHumor #CloudEngineering #CloudOps #ITSecurity
