Azure App Service - Azure takes care of authentication. You can focus on your business logic

#cloud #azure #appservice

Hi All!

Azure app service is one of the main service from azure to host a web application. It provides many features like scaling, network isolation etc.,

Authentication is one of the main area to focus for securing the application access to allow only the eligible users access the application.

Consider if an organization has an requirement for authentication, developer would create a new table for username and password and would maintain that table for user addition and removal earlier days. This is the one of the trickiest and daunting task which should handle carefully because when a user left from the project his/her account should also removed from application access here. So it will consume some additional hours for developers when they should focus on the core business logic.

Nowadays organization needs different type of authentication(s) like Active Directory, Github account and sometimes social media accounts like Facebook Azure offers this authentication mechanism for us without additional code. so that developers can focus on core logic development.

Azure offers below authentication(s), from which any one can be incorporate into your web application.

  • Microsoft
  • Apple
  • Facebook
  • Github
  • Google
  • Twitter
  • OpenID

Glimpse - Key Vault Vs App Configuration for App service In this post, we are jsut going to see glimpse of comparison between Keyvaukt and App Configuration for App services references. Why we are comparing these two? Recently App Configuration references on App Service become Generally Available and it can complements Keyvault. Let us consider a scenario that we need to have client-id and secret which will be used in an API call for authentication from Azure function app/ App service / Logic App standard, in a secure place. So, Here we come to know 2 azure native services are as follows Azure Keyvault Azure App Configuration Azure people(we) typically use keyvault to handle secrets in secure way whereas App Configuration also complements Azure Keyvault then which is better or in which scenario we can pick either of the one. According to me, We can go for keyvault when we need to handle secrets environment specific. Here, enviro...

Glimpse - Azure function migration from .net6 in-process to .net8 isolated Microsoft/Azure periodically announces the end of support for some services and ask us to migrate to a new version/release when they come up with a robust solution than the deprecated. In this post we are going to see a glimpse/UI configuration change of azure function 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟲 𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼 .𝗻𝗲𝘁𝟴 𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱. Here, I'm not going to deep dive about the migration whereas going to see the illustration of changing .net version from UI. For learning, GUI is the best place to start. So, as a dev guy we would prefer azure portal mostly. Consider a scenario that, you're requested to migrate your existing .net6 function app to be migrated .net8 isolated, you would go to settings panel and try to change the version in configuration, but the option would be disabled, it was disabled for me initially. Shocking and Afraid! After some point of ...

Even though container services evolving IT apps landscape, we could not boycott VM usage. Azure VM also requires and plays vital role for some scenarios. In this post, we are going to see just glimpse of azure disks of VM. This post is not about standard vs premium disk use case FYI. Azure VM can run with OS disk but it is not good practice. There are three types of disks. OS disk Data disk Ephemeral disk We need to know when to use what then only we can avoid performance bottleneck. 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗸 - If we install applications as well in OS disk, we could face performance issue. It is best to use OS disk to have OS infos and booting. The benefilt of Data disk is Easy maintanence Backup and disaster recovery Performance isolation (as it is far from OS acti...
