For the fourth post in this series on the basics of Terraform for Microsoft Azure using Azure DevOps and Visual Studio Code, I’m going to be covering the slightly more complex issues of governance and security, along with a bit of automation using triggers. You’ll learn how to stage your pipelines and create code branches…

Repositories and Pipelines

Introduction and Prerequisites
I’ve been architecting Microsoft Azure platforms for a good few years now, and whilst I’ve been fully aware of the benefits of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), I’m not a developer (back in the 1980s I used to copy code from magazines into my Sinclair ZX81, but that’s about it), and any deployments I’ve done myself have been via the portal.

This laptop had the slight compromise of no USB type-C port, and only 8GB of RAM, rather than 16, but had… Continue reading HP Spectre x360 13″ OLED review
The Holidog ‘Happy Box’; free automatic renewals and poor customer care come as standard

These emails continue sometimes daily despite me having never used the site either as a pet sitter, or for pet sitting services.
