Common Security & Governance Blind Spots in Azure Integration
"Hello everyone, I'm starting a discussion to gather insights on a critical topic: security and governance for Azure Integration Services (AIS). As environments grow with dozens of Logic Apps, Functions, APIM instances, etc., it becomes harder to maintain a strong security posture. Iād like to hear from your experience: What are the most common security and governance blind spots people miss when building out their integration platforms on Azure? To get us started, here are a few areas I'm thinking about: Secret Management: Beyond just "use Key Vault," what are the subtle mistakes or challenges teams face? Network Security: How critical is VNet integration and the use of Private Endpoints for services like Service Bus and Storage Accounts in your opinion? When is it overkill? Monitoring & Observability: What are the best ways to get a single, unified view of a business transaction that flows through multiple Azure services for security auditing? Looking forward to a great discussion and learning from the community's collective experience!"Azure Integration - Knowledge Cluster
Today, I come to you with an exhilarating initiative brewing at my company, and I'm eager to hear your invaluable opinions and insights. We are gearing up to create an Azure Integration Knowledge Cluster that will revolutionize the way we navigate the Azure integration landscape. And guess what? Your input is always welcome š Our foundation for this knowledge cluster rests on five essential pillars, each representing a critical facet of Azure Integration: Azure Architecture: Embark on a journey to unravel the principles and best practices that underpin solid Azure architectures. Discover how to design scalable, resilient, and highly available integration solutions. Azure Services: Explore the vast array of Azure services at our disposal for seamless integration scenarios. From Logic Apps to Service Bus, Event Grid to API Management, we'll unravel their intricacies and unleash their full potential. Integration Platforms: Delve into the world of integration platforms, both cloud-based and on-premises. Uncover how they facilitate efficient data flow and provide a unified environment for managing integrations. Integration Patterns: Immerse yourself in the art of integration patterns, gaining insights into battle-tested approaches for connecting systems and orchestrating workflows. From request-reply to publish-subscribe, we'll delve into a variety of patterns to suit diverse integration needs. API Design, Messaging, and Event-Driven: Master the art of designing well-structured APIs that enable smooth communication between applications. Dive into messaging and event-driven architectures, leveraging asynchronous integration to build highly responsive systems. But wait, there's more! We'll also explore Hybrid Integrations, where on-premises systems seamlessly interact with the cloud, ensuring a harmonious coexistence between legacy infrastructure and Azure's cutting-edge capabilities. And, of course, we won't forget the crucial aspects of Security & Performance, safeguarding our integrations and optimizing their efficiency. Now, here's where your expertise comes in! I kindly invite you to share your thoughts on this knowledge cluster endeavor: Which of these pillars excites you the most? Have you encountered any integration challenges or roadblocks that you believe could be addressed through this knowledge cluster? Please share your ideas, suggestions, and opinions in the comments below š With sincere gratitude, Jorge
