This topic is not new and quite frankly, it is hard to believe this is still not integrated yet, but at some point, during your cloud journey, you probably want to send monitoring alerts to a certain Teams channel. Even though this is functionality is available for plenty of other services, Azure Monitor still lacks this.

Since the my first post about Azure Hybrid DNS, I ran into a few more scenarios that I want to share with you.
In this post, I will go over the scenario in which you can use Azure Private DNS Zones as a sub-domain of your locally hosted DNS Zones.

Azure private DNS is a great solution to simplify DNS resolution for cloud resources in Azure. However, chances are you have components in your infrastructure that do not natively integrate with Azure DNS zones. In this post, I will show you how you to enable your own DNS solution to resolve names from Azure private DNS zones with CoreDNS on Azure Kubernetes Service.

On the 02/22/2020, the first PowerShell Saturday Hamburg took place and what a day it was!

I’ve been waiting a long time for this and its finally here - PowerShell Support for Azure Functions v2 is generally available and ready for production! On the 4th of November at Ignite 2019, the general availability has been announced. This alone is a big step for automating tasks in Azure, but there is more, the Product Group also announced the general availability of the Premium Plan for Azure Functions! With this, Azure Function Apps can seamlessly be integrated within your VNet.

On the 5th of April 2019, Steve Lee announced two things, the general availability of PowerShell Core 6.2 and the the next major version, PowerShell 7.
In this post we will keep track of the changes in PowerShell 7 and will provide an overview of the new lifecycle management.

When you plan on using Azure-Firewall in your Network-Infrastructure, you have to keep some things in mind - especially when it comes to Routing. In this article, I go over a specific scenario that involves a Hub-Spoke VNet architecture, a VPN or Express Route, a Network Virtual Appliance, User Defined Routes and last but not least, the Azure Firewall.

Whats not to love about PowerShell in Azure Functions? 🙂
In this part, I will give you an overview on how I write my functions and I also added some more compute functions.

In almost every Azure Tenant I use, I have one Azure Function App that helps me to be more productive. Since the first day of the introduction Azure Functions, I used them to
automate different tasks. Over the time, the collection of functions became quite big and I would love to share them with you so you can benefit from them as well 🙂

If you are using RedHat OpenShift on Azure as your container platform, you are most likely using Azure DNS to resolve names of your cluster nodes – at least when you deployed it using the ARM-Template provided by Microsoft with Azure as the OpenShift cloud provider instead of an “Bare-Metal” installation on Azure VMs without an cloud provider config.
