Azure - Alert Rule Duplication saves some time

#cloud #azure

Hi All!

Apart from resource(s) provisioning, it is responsibility of admins to enable some monitor mechanishm for resorce(s) health too as per customer need. When some unexpected or predicted conditions met, it should alert the customer to take some precautions and avoid the whole resource/application becomes inacccessible.

This article is not going to describe about creating alert(s) instead we are going to see the Duplicating Alert in azure portal.

Some of you would have a question that why should I duplicate it? I can create it instead right?

Your thought is correct.

Below are the main components we need to consider while creating alerts

  • Scope - single resource level or resource group level or subscription level
  • Condition - Signals - Http errors or health check or Http 4xx etc.,
  • Actios - Notification to Action Group - email or SMS or voice etc and Actions - trigger function app or logic app or automation accont etc

Consider a scenario that you want to create an alert rule as similar as an existing with a simple change that action group change. So Here Instead of creating an alert rule from the beginning, you can duplicate it and change that place only where changes required. Now new alert rule is ready.

Note: Duplicate alert option would not be available/enabled for all the alert rule(s).

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.

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...
