In this episode I’m going to be looking at refining our pipeline code by adding formatting checks and putting some of our more sensitive variables into and Azure DevOps library. If you’ve been with me on the whole journey you now should have a relatively good understanding of the structure of pipelines, and be able to use them to deploy resources into Azure using basic Terraform code.

Terraform for Azure: Basics (5)
This fifth episode in our series of posts dealing with the basics of HashiCorp Terraform for Azure is going to be a bit shorter than usual. I felt we needed a little breather after the last epic that we had to work through. I’m going to discuss how to lock down the Terraform state storage account and manipulate its firewall while we perform DevOps operations.

Dell XPS 13 9350 Review

Most… Continue reading Dell XPS 13 9350 Review
