[Urgent]: Locked out of Azure Portal - GitHub Login Loop & Authenticator 6-digit vs 8-digit Mismatch
I am writing this out of frustration as I have been locked out of my Azure web portal (azure.com) for a long time. I normally log in via GitHub, but something seems to have changed regarding the admin settings or 2FA requirements. I am now stuck at the Microsoft Authenticator verification step. The major issue is that my Authenticator app shows an 8-digit PIN, but the Azure login screen requires a 6-digit PIN. I also do not receive any push notifications/pop-ups on my phone, despite being logged into the correct account in the app. Key Details: This is a personal account. My login works perfectly on accounts.microsoft.com and the Azure Mobile App. I cannot use the web portal, which is preventing me from managing my servers. I have a VM that frequently runs out of memory (OOM) and needs an immediate upgrade and a new IP address—tasks I cannot do from the mobile app. I cannot open a support ticket because I can't log in. I contacted pre-sales support two months ago; they promised an engineer would email me within 7 days, but I never heard back. Please help me regain access to my account.
Unable to delete Foundry Agent identity Entra app in Azure
I'm trying to delete an Entra app in Azure created by Foundry Agent identity blueprint as its currently unused and is causing EntraID hygiene alerts. However getting an error mentioning that delete is not supported. Is there any other way to delete an unused Entra app for an agent identity blueprint? Error detail: Agent Blueprints are not supported on the API version used in this request.Learn about Pulumi on Azure Thurs Aug 12 on LearnTV
AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It's a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11 AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV and learn more about Azure. When: August 12, 2021 11 AM Pacific / 2 PM Eastern Where: Microsoft LearnTV Agnostic tools for building your cloud infrastructure can be incredibly helpful to provide a strategy that looks beyond one single cloud. There are many alternatives in the market to using native tooling for your cloud provider or handle the work manually. Each of these "Infrastructure as Code" tools brings you the tools to deploy anywhere, anytime with the reliability and consistency you expect. You can use programming languages you might already know such as Node.js, Python, Go, and .NET and use standard constructs like loops and conditionals. Pulumi allows you to build, deploy, and manage modern cloud applications and infrastructure using familiar languages, tools, and engineering practices. With a tool like Pulumi you can build your architecture required for your IT operations to nearly 50 different cloud providers. If you also need on-prem or hybrid environments configured, Pulumi has you covered. Installing Pulumi just takes a few commands on your local environment. Pulumi uses different providers to support the various cloud services you may need. If Azure is your cloud of choice you can provision any of the services via Azure Resource Manager (ARM). The Azure provider must be configured with credentials to deploy and update resources in Azure. This can be done by either using the Azure CLI or by creating an Azure Active Directory Service Principal. To help me understand how to start working with Pulumi, I've reached out to one of my favorite people from the world of DevOps, Principal Developer Advocate at Pulumi, Matty Stratton. Matt Stratton is a Staff Developer Advocate at Pulumi, founder and co-host of the popular Arrested DevOps podcast, and the global chair of the DevOpsDays set of conferences. Matt has over 20 years of experience in IT operations and is a sought-after speaker internationally, presenting at Agile, DevOps, and cloud engineering focused events worldwide. Demonstrating his keen insight into the changing landscape of technology, he recently changed his license plate from DEVOPS to KUBECTL . He lives in Chicago and has three awesome kids, whom he loves just a little bit more than he loves Diet Coke. Matt is the keeper of the Thought Leaderboard for the DevOps Party Games online game show and you can find him on Twitter at @mattstratton. We will work together to learn how to get started, how to use the programming language you may already know, and find out if Pulumi for your Azure deployments is right for you. Here's our planned agenda for our show on LearnTV: Why bother writing automation code anyway I'm a developer. why do I can about infrastructure automation? I'm an ops person. Why should I write code? Why Pulumi when there are other tools and stuff already? We'll answer these questions and more this Thursday, August 12, 2021 at 11 AM PT / 2PM ET. Learn about Azure fundamentals with me!

Allow Pipelines to have Tags/Metadata like Azure Resources
We need the ability to add metadata to Azure DevOps Pipelines such as “Domain”, “Capability”, “Team”, “SRE Owner”, etc. This information needs to be available in the pipeline/ api response. It would also be useful to have the ability to filter/search by this in the UI, but that is not important for my immediate use case. Currently, to obtain this data, we are maintaining a separate reference table. It is not ideal.
Azure Devops Integration with Servicenow
Hi, I am integrating Azure Devops with ServiceNow. Is it possible to integrate Project Task (pm_project_task) in ServiceNow with Task in Azure Devops in Basic Project. As i am able to send the task from ADO to ServiceNow but not from ServiceNow to ADO. Any possible solution?
Advanced Container Apps Networking: VNet Integration and Centralized Firewall Traffic Logging
Azure community, I recently documented a networking scenario relevant to Azure Container Apps environments where you need to control and inspect application traffic using a third-party network virtual appliance. The article walks through a practical deployment pattern: • Integrate your Azure Container Apps environment with a Virtual Network. • Configure user-defined routes (UDRs) so that traffic from your container workloads is directed toward a firewall appliance before reaching external networks or backend services. • Verify actual traffic paths using firewall logs to confirm that routing policies are effective. This pattern is helpful for organizations that must enforce advanced filtering, logging, or compliance checks on container egress/ingress traffic, going beyond what native Azure networking controls provide. It also complements Azure Firewall and NSG controls by introducing a dedicated next-generation firewall within your VNet. If you’re working with network control, security perimeters, or hybrid network architectures involving containerized workloads on Azure, you might find it useful. Read the full article on my blog
Blank screen in "new" AI Foundry and unable to go back to "classic" view
Hi, I toggled on the "new" AI foundry experience. But it just gives me a blank page. I cannot disable it and go back to the old view though. When I go to https://ai.azure.com/ it takes me to the "nextgen" page (e.g. https://ai.azure.com/nextgen/?wsid=%2Fsubscriptions...) Removing "nextgen" from the URL just redirects me back to the "nextgen" version. This also happens to my colleague, and we can't use the Foundry. Can you help?Why blockchain?
I'm curious to hear from the community - why are you using blockchain in your solution? More precisely, what are you doing with blockchain that couldn't be done with a standard cloud-hosted application? We're working on a taxonomy of use cases that are uniquely enabled by blockchain - your answers will help us to build this.
Weird problem when comparing the answers from chat playground and answer from api
I'm running into a weird issue with Azure AI Foundry (gpt-4o-mini) and need help. I'm building a chatbot that classifies each user message into: follow-up to previous message repeat of an earlier message brand-new query The classification logic works perfectly in the Azure AI Foundry Chat Playground. But when I use the exact same prompt in Python via: AzureChatOpenAI() (LangChain) or the official Azure OpenAI code from "View Code" (client.chat.completions.create()) …I get totally different and often wrong results. I’ve already verified: same deployment name (gpt-4o-mini) same temperature / top_p / max_tokens same system and user messages even tried copy-pasting the full system prompt from the Playground But the API version still behaves very differently. It feels like Azure AI Foundry’s Chat Playground is using some kind of hidden system prompt, invisible scaffolding, or extra formatting that is NOT shown in the UI and NOT included in the “View Code” snippet. The Playground output is consistently more accurate than the raw API call. Question: Does the Chat Playground apply hidden instructions or pre-processing that we can’t see? And is there any way to: view those hidden prompts, or replicate Playground behavior exactly through the API or LangChain? If anyone has run into this or knows how to get identical behavior outside the Playground, I’d really appreciate the help.
