Blog moved to Hugo and Azure

After being annoyed with WordPress, I decided to try something new. This week I looked at alternatives to WordPress, and going back and forth, I ended up with Hugo and Azure Static Web Apps as the solution. It is a very cheap solution, but also very powerful. I can use VS Code for writing blogs, and when I commit my code to GitHub, it will use a GitHub action to publish the changes to Azure Static Web Apps.

2021 reflection and looking into 2022

2021 has been a busy year for me, but in a good way. January, I started in a new role as Cloud Solution Specialist with edgemo A/S. It was strange to start the new position with Covid-19 still going strong, but it worked out great with the team I joined. We did meet at the office the first two days, but it was pretty much working from home for quite sometime after that. The guidelines on where to work changed over the year, and we made it work regardless of the policies.

Azure DevOps - Deploy a website to Azure

Intro
In this post, I want to show you how to deploy a .Net 6.0 website to Azure using Azure DevOps. I will create a demo website in Visual Studio using the Microsoft provided templates and publish the website to Azure using a pipeline.

Workflow
The flow for the demo website is simple. I update text on the website and commit the code to an Azure DevOps repository. From Azure DevOps, I can use the repository in a pipeline to deploy the code to Azure. The workflow would be a continuous effort for a production website, so deployment can often happen with new ideas getting into production fast and effortlessly.

Using Azure Key Vault from Bicep

Intro
I have previously written a post on how to use Azure Key Vault with GitHub Actions, and this time I want to show you have to use Key Vault with Bicep deployments in Azure. The reason behind using Key Vault is to avoid having any passwords or secrets stored in templates. Using Key Vault, I can reference a secret that the deployment will look up at deployment time and not display in any log files. Another benefit of using Key Vaults is that the person who deploys the resources does not need to know the password for the resource but only the reference to the Key Vault. Deploying resources using Key Vaults dramatically increases the security and, at the same time, eases the deployments.
