Regardless of whether it is Azure or not, when you use WebDeploy, you're using port 8172 to do your deployment. Unlike zip deployment, webdeploy does not use Kudu service. That also means any service like VSTS that uses webdeploy, do not use Kudu. Why is this important? When security team starts to knock on your door asking everything to be locked, you need to know which port is important Kudu service uses port 80 / 443. How does Kudu deploy

ASE (Application service environment) is an isolated environment for you to run your code on. If you use Terraform  Unfortunately if you're using terraform, you get error message trying to provision a function app that ties to a service plan  (ASE). Status code nil, nil - Not a very helpful message Issue is tracked here . If you still want to use terraform, get it to create service plan and stop. Don't provision your function app. That service plan you just created are tied to an environment id. Then use Az Cli to create a function app and manually ties it to the service plan created locally. You also need to setup system identity and somehow add that into resources like keyvault and all the goodies. If you use Az Cli Creating a service plan that ties to a ASE is not supported. Look up the service plan, you cannot create Isolated using az cli. Microsoft has just move this into their backlog Powershell AZ 2.4 The only option is to use Powershell AZ. ...

One cool feature that you can turn on whenever you try to troubleshoot build issues in Azure Devops is " System.Debug ". Create a new variable called " System.Debug " and set it to true. Run your pipeline and you will see a bunch of messages.

Totally agree with the way this has been done. Getting to know what are the change made  git apply --stat 0001-file.patch Initiate dry run to detect errors: git apply --check 0001-file.patch Finally, to apply patches  git am  to apply your patch as a commit: it allows you to sign off an applied patch. This can be useful for later reference. git am --signoff < 0001-file.patch

It is something hard to get the settings rights for terraform, if you don't run it multiple times. In this example, i had so much errors and i found out that, if you referencing an existing ASE plan, you better make sure it matches - in terms of TIER and SIZE. Otherwise your service plan is as good as no service plan \resource "azurerm_app_service_plan" "ase-service-plan" { name = " ${ var . environment }${ var . service_plan_name } " resource_group_name = " ${ azurerm_resource_group . azure-rg . name } " location = " ${ var . location } " kind = "FunctionApp" app_service_environment_id = "/subscriptions/ your-subscription-id/ resourceGroups/yourResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Web/ hostingEnvironments/your-ASE-name" maximum_elastic_worker_count = 1 ## required - Isol...

Interestingly, node_modules libraries are loaded from child, then move its way up to parent until the root. That's is not really what the docs says.  To resolve this, either add package dependencies on the parent node_modules or remove that folder. :)

Run into this error during my npm build. Awesome treat of the day, it seems. Time to get cracking with resolving inflight npm libraries issues. https://gist.github.com/appcoreopc/7b335ac237cd7198027a3af43d895bef When i encounter this issues, non of my build work. It just shows the following error and exit. Good thing it ask me to use npm audit fix to fix stuff and it works. Obey the npm cli :)

Bump into this error today, The react script package provided by Create React App requires a dependency. The react-scripts package provided by Create React App requires a dependency "jest" : "24.7.1" To resolves this, apply changes suggested from here . you also need to provide this....... npx npm-force-resolutions npm install Funny thing, is that this doesn't work for me.

This is a script that allows you to setup diagnostic logging for keyvault and event hub. You can easily use it for other stuff as well. First of all your start off with something simple like this, to enable diagnostic logging for a vault called "myvault". Unless it is a resource Id, then you need to provide resource group info.  (Please note - resource group is the resource group that vault resides) When it comes to --workspace, ideally it is best to az monitor diagnostic-settings create -n "lalala" --resource "myvault" -g "devrgpmtengine" --resource-type "Microsoft.KeyVault/vaults" --workspace "mydevworkspace" --metrics '[{"category": "AllMetrics","enabled": true,"retentionPolicy": {"enabled": false, "days": 0 }}]' when it comes to --workspace, it is best to have something that looks like this, full resource path to your wo...

when you're trying to work with Az cli, you tend to pass in a bunch of json strings. And the thing about powershell, you need to escape double quotes otherwise you will get a whole bunch of errors : - Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 1 Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 3 (char 2) blah blah blah To solve this, look at this example :- This is an example how you can use "az monitor diagnostic-settings" command line. hope this helps!!!

The idea is pretty simple, create a rsa key in azure. Use public key to encrypt. Then use private key to decrypt. Private key never leave the vault. Here is the code for doing that. If you're getting bad request? Please check to make sure you have added MSI to the keyvault access policy. I had that many many times the following error message, Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Azure.KeyVault.Models.KeyVaultErrorException: Operation returned an invalid status code 'BadRequest' and the problem is due to, specifying foAEP to false, instead of true. var encryptedText = rsa . Encrypt ( byteData , fOAEP : true ); // use to be false :(

Go to Azure portal -> Monitor -> diagnostic settings  Please change the subscription filter as required.

You can create/ update a pipeline variable using the following command :- Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=myvariableName;] $myVariableWithValue "

Say you're trying to setup terraforma backend - to save state file into Azure, you might get prompt asking for container name, then provide the configuration listed in figure 1.1. Before that, you need to setup your ARM authentication (yes, all of this) set ARM_CLIENT_ID= set ARM_CLIENT_SECRET= set ARM_SUBSCRIPTION_ID= set ARM_TENANT_ID= If you get error messages saying " Error inspecting states in the "azurerm" backend " - please provide settings in figure 1.1 If you encounter this error, remember to delete your statefile folder (.terraform) or whenever any of your test results in failure. This is important Error inspecting states in the "azurerm" backend: storage: service returned error: StatusCode=403, ErrorCode=AuthenticationFailed, ErrorMessage=Server failed to authenticate the request.

I bump into this issues alot when i try to create a keyvault, then setup some poliy around it and then when i add secret / key into it, bang! this happens - terraform spitting out 403 access error when creating keyvault secret in azure Solution that worked for me (adds depends_on) into EVERY " azurerm_key_vault_secret " and key that is about to be written into a keyvault. This happens when you trying to create key vault and then add policy. If you're just adding secret (with the keyvault already exist), then you're fine. Yes, add to every secret or key that has a dependencies and you can have it as a module. It won't work. resource "azurerm_key_vault" "kvpaymentengine" { name = " ${ var . environment }${ var . keyvault_name } " location = " ${ var . location } " resource_group_name = " ${ module . pmt-rg . rg_name } " tenant...

I know this sounds strange as hell, right. When this happened to me, Terraform was actually complaining about incorrect path that was given in my variables / settings.

Az Cli extension can access pipeline variable definition without any environment setup. You should be able to use do something like this :- Where $ENVIRONMENT are pipelines variable definition. az functionapp cors remove -g $ENVIRONMENT$RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME -n $ENVIRONMENT$FUNCTIONAPP_NAME --allowed-origins "*"

If you're looking for az cli functionapp code, well it is available under appservice folder as shown in diagram below : https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/dev/src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appservice/comm nds.py

Been looking around but manage to find it myself. Goto your function app, then click on ''General settings" - most of your configuration is available here.

Updating repository  git subtree is a copy of a clone repository. You need to issue separate command to update your branch for example, git subtree pull --prefix=storedprocedures https://mycopied_git_repository/  Running pull alone, will not update the 'copied' branch. This also means you need to pull and then push changes to be reflected. For example, say you have your local git repo calle ' my_local_git_repo ', mounted to a folder called externalibrary, if you run git pull, you only update ' my_local_git_repo ' and not  mycopied_git_repository. Run command above, git subtree to update. After that, you need to push your changes to your ' my_local_git_repo ' so that, build tools like Azure DevOps, is able to see it and update
