Azure Logic App - Adding comment(s) is one of the best practices.

#cloud #azure #logicapp

Hi All!

As a azure developer and/or administrator, we need to work on new and/or existing Logic App(s). If it is new, we are happy to start from the scratch.

Consider a scenario that you deployed into a team where you have 15+ logic apps in each environment like Dev, UAT and Prod. Before work on those Logic apps, we need to study the workflow (trigger and actions).

Existing Logic App UI will not tell you the action type. To know the action type, one way is that you have to go to Logic app code view which is a JSON representation of the workflow where you can find the type of all actions.

Even though we can see the type(s) from JSON as stated above, we could not know the intention or business purpose of that action.

Here we can add comments on each action which is missed most of the time. Let's see how we can add comment on each action in Logic app. So that, when others work onlogic apps, they understand it easily.

Please look into the below image.

I have trigger in logic app that when a service bus received message, this logic app starts but If we know from where and how this service bus receive message, we can talk to the concern team to discuss some more details.

So I add a comment that the service bus receives message in queue from Order shipping web application. So now, If we get any escalation or issue from customer regarding this logic app and data received at service bus, we can discuss with the order shipping web app developer / azure developer or development team.

View powershell history and invoke Hi All! When you do administration activities, you may need to work around with multiple commands in powershell. It is bit difficul to remember all the commands we tried because some of them may be fetched from internet. Consider you tried more than 100 commands in current powershell session and may require to try the same large command. One of the way is you can press up arrow many times to see the previously tried command. we have another easy way is to see the history and invoke it by using its order number instead of whole command typing. Please look into the below example

Azure Public IP(s) are zone redundant free of cost natively - Generally Available Availability zone gives high availability to an application as well as information by forestalling the physical datacenter disappointments by involving replication of the asset in extra datacenter. Azure typically has 3 zones per region (and not all regions support zone). Thus, while setting up the environment we really want to pick the right region based on our usecase. Public IP helps to access a resource or an application publicly. Azure offers 2 types of SKU for public IP as below Basic Standard Only Standard SKU gives zone facility. Basic SKU is always non-zonal and this SKU also will be retired 09/2025. Standard public IP can be fell into any of the below category No Zone / Non-Zonal - No availability zone at all Zonal - Our services can be replicated in any one of selected zones from three zones. Zone redundant - Resource will be replicated in all 3 zones. It is opposite of...
