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.

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 ...

Azure Devops - How to use classic pipeline variable group in YAML pipeline Hi All! When we need to use a group of variables in a pipeline, we can go for variable group instead of variables. The main usage of variable group is that can be used it across multiple pipelines in the same project. For example, I have a below variable group in my azure Devops. By default variable groups can be used across classic pipelines without any explicit permission granted but that variable group could not be used by YAML pipelines typically. So, How how can I use that variable group in my YAML pipeline? We can achieve it through "Pipeline permissions" option on top of variable group page. In the below image, I grant permission to my dotnet6app YAML pipeline to use variable group We can revoke if we don't need a YAML pipeline should not access variable group as below. Now, I want my all pipelines should use variable group. I don't want manual intervent...
