🚀 Azure Control, Data, & MGMT Planes: The Backbone of Cloud Efficiency 🌐
Azure operations can be divided into Three categories (Control Plane - Data Plane - Management Plane) This post describes the differences between those three types of operations. Tip : Suppose that the word "plane" means "function" understand this definition like this !! # Control Plane (Function) # @ The Control Plane is responsible for managing and configuring Azure resources. @ It handles administrative tasks such as creating, updating, and deleting resources. @ All requests for control plane operations are sent to the Azure Resource Manager URL For Azure global, the URL is " https://management.azure.comm. " @ Azure Resource Manager handles all control plane requests. It automatically applies the Azure features you implemented to manage your resources, such as: Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC) - Azure Policy - Management Locks - Activity Logs @ After Azure Resource Manager authenticates the request, it sends the request to the resource provider, which completes the operation. @ The control plane includes two scenarios for handling requests - "green field" and "brown field". @ Green field refers to ---> new resources. Brown field refers to ---> existing resources. # Data Plane (Function) # @ The Data Plane is responsible for interacting with the actual data within Azure resources. @ Once a resource is created, operations like reading, writing, and processing data occur in the Data Plane. @ Requests for data plane operations are sent to an endpoint that's specific to your instance. Ex : "myaccount.blob.core.windows.nett " ---> for storage account @ Operates independently of the Control Plane, meaning even if the Control Plane is unavailable, the Data Plane remains accessible. # Management Plane (Function) # @ The Management Plane oversees monitoring, security, and configuration of Azure services. @ It ensures that resources are operating efficiently and securely. Ex : Azure Monitor: Collecting logs and metrics from resources Ex : Azure Security Center: Managing security policies and compliance. Ex : Azure Automation: Running scheduled tasks for resource management.
Ownership of an Azure DevOps organisation
I and my colleagues have had Visual Studio Enterprise subscriptions for many years now (since they were MSDN Universal), through the company we work for. Some time ago I set up an Azure DevOps organisation under my account, and it is now used for all our repositories, pipelines, etc. I'm getting to the age were retirement is an option, and I'm concerned about the organisation being tied to my VSEnt subscription rather than our company's Azure account. I've been doing a bit of research on it, and the advice talks about creating a tenant and connecting the organisation to its Entra directory. My organisation is already connected to our Entra directory though, and we've always been able to add users from our AD. Would this have been done automatically because the account linked to VSEnt was part of our AD? More importantly, does this mean the organisation would survive the expiry of my VSEnt subscription? I'm currently the owner of the organisation, but changing that seems fairly straightforward. With that change and presence of the Entra link, does that mean I've nothing to worry about, or is there more to do?
How to get ADO feature progress as a custom field that can be shared with Aha?
I want to be able to share the progress completion of our Product Backlog Items from ADO into AHA. AHA has the ability to map fields and sync content between AHA and ADO features. AHA has a feature Progress complete % bar that we manually update, however, I believe there should be a way to get this data from ADO to automatically update Aha with the progress of the ADO feature based on PBI completion (based on effort) I'm able to see the progress of a feature in ADO based on the effort by using the rollup columns as outlined in this help article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/boards/backlogs/display-rollup?view=azure-devops&tabs=agile-process#analytics-latency-and-error-states But I need to find a way to get this information into a shareable field that can be mapped to Aha. Any ideas? Field mapping in Aha: Progress view in ADO
Setting up Code Coverage data in Azure DevOps Pipeline, C# .NET 9
Hello everyone, I would like some assistance with my Azure DevOps pipeline. I am trying to set up Tasks in my Azure DevOps pipeline to collect Code Coverage results, after running UTs using the VsTest Task, to then have a Powershell Task in the Pipeline write to a SQL db the contents of those metrics. The main issue I am encountering is actually finding the published results after the UTs successfully run. I have set up Tasks to publish the results, then find them & then insert, but the publish doesn't seem to actually publish to the directory I specify, or if it does publish, I cannot see where to. Here are the Tasks I currently have set-up. Task to run UTs: steps: - task: VSTest@2 displayName: 'VsTest - testAssemblies' inputs: testAssemblyVer2: | **\$(BuildConfiguration)\*\*test*.dll !**\obj\** runSettingsFile: '$/B3API/Main/B3API.Tests/codecoverage.runsettings' runInParallel: true runTestsInIsolation: false codeCoverageEnabled: true platform: '$(BuildPlatform)' configuration: '$(BuildConfiguration)' failOnMinTestsNotRun: true codecoverage.runsettings file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RunSettings> <DataCollectionRunSettings> <DataCollectors> <DataCollector friendlyName="Code Coverage"> <Configuration> <Format>cobertura</Format> </Configuration> </DataCollector> </DataCollectors> </DataCollectionRunSettings> </RunSettings> Task to publish results: steps: - task: PublishCodeCoverageResults@2 displayName: 'Publish code coverage results' inputs: summaryFileLocation: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage.cobertura.xml' pathToSources: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage' Task to find published file & store into variable: steps: - powershell: | $coverageFile = "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/coverage.cobertura.xml" [xml]$coverageData = Get-Content $coverageFile $coveragePercentage = $coverageData.coverage.@line-rate # Store the coverage data in a variable Write-Host "##vso[task.setvariable variable=coveragePercentage]$coveragePercentage" displayName: 'Store Coverage in variable' The main issue it the Task to publish, it does not publish the results, I think it is due to not finding them in the first place. Thank you for taking the time to read my post, any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!Error code 11408: The operation has timed out. Id. de actividad
Hello, I am starting with Azure Synapse, and when I want to ingest data with a copy, when I configure the connection to the data source (In this case, it is HTTP with a URL), I get this error, and I don't know why. I have configured the storage account with the IPs that have permissions, and I have also configured the IPs that have access in my Synapse resource. Additionally, I have enabled the managed virtual network with Data exfiltration protection enabled. I believe this should be related to that, but I don't know what extra configuration I need to do to allow this type of connections and others. I haven't found information regarding this error code, I would greatly appreciate any help.DevOps and Jira Cloud integration plugins?
Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has any experience with using plugins to allow integration between Azure DevOps and Jira Cloud? We are looking for a hybrid solution whereby we are Jira Cloud as a Service Desk. And if a Service Desk ticket becomes a project ticket, a project ticket is created within DevOps under the relevant project, and our PM and Devs will work on the project ticket within DevOps, and the business will use the stakeholder license in Devops to comment, attach screenshots etc. We have tried the getint.io plugin from the Jira app marketplace, however, it not work well for the above scenario. Thanks for any ideas. Sean
