Managed identities, System or User identity, allow access to Azure resources that support AAD Authentication without managing credentials. These identities are managed in Azure Active Directory automatically. It is a great feature from the security perspective because credentials are not maintained anywhere. Managed identities can be used without any additional cost. Managed identies are of... Continue Reading →
What is Autoscale Provides resources to handle the load on your application Saves money by removing resources when not in use. Scales horizontally i.e. increase or decrease number of VM instances and more flexible in cloud environment. Two ways to trigger the autoscale for the supported services and these are Matrix-Based and Time-Based rules. Autoscaling... Continue Reading →

Azure Blob Storage got a new feature named Object Replication. Currently, this feature is only supported for the block blob. Object replication asynchronously copies blobs between a source storage account and a destination account. Object replication helps to minimize latency and data distribution, and the implementation requires replication policies and rules to be set on... Continue Reading →
