Azure Devops Bypass policy when code push - Glimpse

Devops is a culture most of the organizations embrace it. In this article let's see what is branch policy in Azure Devops (ADO).

Before that, we need to know what is policy (aka) Branch policy in ADO

Branch policy has set of policies to be applied on the branch typically main. By that we avoid accidental activity. Few are as

  1. Reviewers required to view the code change before move to main/master branch
  2. work item - ADO's user story / task / bug etc., any of the item number should be linked

Consider a scenario that your organization's existing project has some policies like most recent code pusher can not push code again.

Very rare case may happen or not, a senior developer needs a exclusion to fix an urgent pre-prod/production incident. So He/She does not want to be in that case. They want to push their code often when discussing with client manager or customer

So, how can we override the branch policy of ADO for an user

In the project settings -> Repositories -> Select your repository -> Security -> User permission

Here the senior developer would be under a group like project Administrators, Contributor etc., Choose the correct group then select Bypass policies when pushing is while code push the one we require here and click Allow

Now that senior developer can push his/her code often

Azure Blob - Convert blob access tier on Page and append blobs Hi All Azure storage account is one of the mostly used service by many people and it has page, append and block blob types on storage blob. To have blobs in "Hot" tier incur some more cost but it is prffered for frequently accessed. so if our blob is required but less access then we can change its access tier to keep it with low cost then at the time of need we can change it back to original type. we can set access tier only for block blobs. For remaining blob types, there is no direct way to set access tiers. so how can we achieve it? we need to change blob type to block blob and apply access tier for it then when we need original blob with appropriate, we need to typecast from the recent one we converted. In the below image, Initially I have an append blob called "1.JPG". when you see it, you could not see its access tier whereas bloc blob shows as "Hot" Now, Let's...

What IP address I can not get it from Azure subnet CIDR to azure resource(s)? What? Will I not be able to get some IP(s) from subnet? How many IP(s) I am not able to get and what are they and why? Azure Virtual Network is one of the main service from azure to create private network in cloud. subnet is the main part of Vnet for segregation. while creating a subnet we have to define CIDR. If I create /24 mask subnet, I should get 256 IP(s) but why am I not getting 256 fully for my resources. I can get only 251 IP(s) because azure reserves 5 IPs from every subnet. consider I'm creating a subnet called DMZ with subnet/cidr range as 10.1.2.0/24 and I'm going to get IP(s) from 10.1.2.4, 10.1.2.5, 10.1.2.6.......10.1.2.254 and please look into the below table for the reason and IP why they are not able to assign to user created azure resources. IP Purpose 10.1.2.0 Network address 10.1.2.1 Reserved by Azure for the defau...
