KQL Query for finding out resource's egress going through a specific Virtual Network Gateway
Is there a way to find out individual resources egress that are going through a Virtual Network Gateway VPN. Pretty much I have an issue where its been noticed that there's high egress going through our Azure to on-prem VPN, I believe it's due to backups but I want to find the specific resources that are causing it. Is there a KQL or way of logging that would be able to pull the individual resource names or resource IDs based on their egress going through a Virtual Network Gateway?

Optimizing Azure DevOps Jira Integration: 5 Practical Use Cases for DevOps Teams
Many teams rely on Azure DevOps (ADO) for development and Jira for project or product management. While each tool is powerful on its own, things often get messy when work items, statuses, and updates live in separate systems. Integrating the two platforms can remove a lot of friction. Below are six common use cases I have seen from real teams, with concrete problems and solutions to make the connection between Jira and Azure DevOps work smoothly. 1. Keeping User Stories and Bugs in Sync Challenge: Teams use Jira for user requests and Azure DevOps for development tasks. Manually updating both systems is tedious and error-prone. Solution: Enable two-way synchronization so that changes in Jira automatically reflect in Azure DevOps and vice versa (including comments and status updates). This keeps bugs and stories aligned without duplicate work. “Before we integrated Jira with Aure DevOps, I spent too much time manually updating task statuses in both systems. Now, with the automatic sync, my team is focused on actual coding work instead of managing project statuses across platforms.” — DevOps Engineer 2. One-Way Sync for Project Management–First Teams Challenge: Some organizations plan and track everything in Jira but manage code exclusively in Azure DevOps. Developers only need the essentials pushed across. Solution: Use a one-way sync from Jira → Azure DevOps to bring over metadata like titles, statuses, sprints, and due dates. Developers see the context they need without cluttering both systems with manual updates. “We rely on Jira for all project planning and management, but the developers need a clean workspace in Azure DevOps. A one-way sync from Jira to ADO helps us keep things efficient and ensures developers always have the latest information without double entry.” — Product Owner 3. Creating Jira Tickets from Azure DevOps Tasks or Bugs Challenge: External partners or stakeholders may only work in Jira Service Management to manage tickets. Developers in Azure DevOps often need their work mirrored for transparency. Solution: Configure automated ticket creation in Jira when certain ADO tasks are tagged. Both teams can track progress in their preferred tool without duplicating effort. “We use Azure DevOps internally, but our external stakeholders only work in Jira. Automating the creation of Jira tickets based on Azure DevOps tasks or bugs has made collaboration seamless and ensured no work is lost in translation.” — DevOps Lead 4. Syncing Epics, Features, and Work Items Challenge: High-level epics might live in Jira, while features and tasks are managed in Azure DevOps. Without integration, visibility across systems is fragmented. Solution: Sync epics and features so Jira provides portfolio-level visibility, while Azure DevOps remains the system of record for detailed development work. This keeps roadmaps and execution aligned. “Tracking epics in Jira while managing the technical work in Azure DevOps used to cause us to lose visibility. Now, everything from high-level epics to individual tasks is in sync, so we always know where we stand.” — Azure DevOps Product Manager 5. Managing Multiple Jira Projects with One Azure DevOps Project Challenge: Large organizations often run multiple Jira projects (by teams or business units) but only one Azure DevOPs project for development. Syncing everything consistently is tough. Solution: Map multiple Jira projects to a single Azure DevOps project, syncing only the key data (titles, statuses, sprints, custom fields). This creates a unified development view without losing project-specific details. “We have multiple teams using different Jira projects, but we consolidate all development work into a single Azure DevOps project. Syncing across these platforms used to be a nightmare, but now everything stays aligned, and we’re able to track all initiatives in one place.” — Azure DevOps Engineer 💬 Have you integrated Jira with Azure DevOps in your team?

Understanding HUB vnet route tables relation
Hi there Please help me understand the relation/usage between/of the different route tables in a Hub vnet. Let's say I have a Hub vnet with ExpressRoute GWs for on-prem connectivity, and VPN GWs for Vnet-Vnet VPN connections to other HUBs. Spokes are peered to the Hub. The ER GW holds a route table. The VPN GW. holds its route table. And the GatewaySubnet holds a route table. I can view the ER GW Private Peering route table. I can see the BGP Peers/Routes in the VPN virtual gateway. But in the hub I cannot really see the effective GatewaySubnet route table. (I know I can by deploying a VM in a subnet in the hub) When exactly is the GatewaySubnet route table consulted/used? In which flows? Please elaborate on the GatewaySubnet vs. ER GW vs. VPN GW route tables and their exhange of routes or lack of. Thanks in advance! /ThomasAzure Copydata Error
I am trying to copy a table from one database to another via a Copy Data activity. I keep getting an error around 500 000 rows in. This is always the same error. The whole table is about 1 500 000 rows. The write batch size is 10 000. I attempted reducing it to 4000 but this did not help either. If anyone can assist with what could be causing this error. Or advise any other way I could copy this data without using a Copy Data activity. Error: Failure happened on 'Source' side. 'Type=System.IO.IOException,Message=Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.,Source=System,''Type=System.Net.Sockets.SocketException,Message=An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host,Source=System,'

Hello, I have been getting this error while trying to deploy my SQL server. The template is getting the pwd from a key vault. Before deploying the db., I retrieved all KV, and I don't know why I am still getting this error. The password has backslash in it, and I escape by using double backslash: xxxxx\**** => xxxxx\\**** . There was an error while overriding 'Password2' parameter because of 'SyntaxError: Unexpected number in JSON at position 8', make sure it follows JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)Can IAM permission be given to Service Bus with Local authentication
If I have a Service Bus with queues in it and it has local authentication enabled. Can I give some users (using their on-premises synced account) the "Azure Service Bus Data Receiver" and "Azure Service Bus Data Sender" permission to allow them to see messages in the queue? They have Reader role on the parent Resource group so they can already see the Service Bus but can't access queues. Or IAM permissions won't work if the Service bus has local authentication enabled.
Unable to send pro-active messages to users on Microsoft Teams
I have built an application to send pro-active messages to users on Microsoft Teams. I am using C# Bot Framework SDK. The application is designed to support users from different tenants [Application Type: multi-tenant] and I have tested the same in the past by installing the app to users belonging to a different tenant than that where the Azure Bot Service is hosted and where the App is registered. Please note that the App doesn't require any API permission but just needs to be installed by the user. After the recent changes made by Microsoft on July 31, 2025, I am no longer able to create an Azure Bot Service having App Type as multi-tenant. We plan to publish this application to the Microsoft Teams store. I got to know from the GitHub Issue - https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/issues/1747 that once the application is certified by Microsoft it will be multi-tenant. Therefore, I created the Azure Bot Service and App Registration with App Type as single-tenant as multi-tenant option was no longer available. In the single-tenant configuration, I tested it by installing the application to user belong to the same tenant where the Azure Bot service is hosted and the App is registered. The code started to return an unauthorized exception. Neither I was not able to send out a Welcome Adaptive message card when the Bot application was installed by the user nor I was able to send out a pro-active message to the user. I had raised a question in the Microsoft Learn Question and Answer Forum and was asked by the Moderator to post it as a thread in the Microsoft Tech Community. I have mentioned the details in the question along with the attempts that I made to resolve the issue. Kindly go through the details mentioned in the question - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5565284/unable-to-send-pro-active-messages-to-users-on-mic I’d really appreciate any help or guidance you can provide on resolving this issue.

Green Pixelation in When Resizing RDP Window in Windows App
I'm experiencing an issue with Azure Virtual Desktop running on a Standard NV8as v4 VM. When I resize the RDP window using the Windows App, the session displays green pixelation artifacts, especially during or immediately after the window size change. The VM uses the AMD Radeon Instinct MI25 GPU, and I've tried updating and uninstalling the GPU driver, as well as installing the AmdGpuDriverWindows Extension but the issue persists.
Network Design Ideas for VMs
I am analyzing the current Azure environment at my new job and trying to figure out the architectural choices mostly networking wise. Currently, we have 10 VMs and each VM has its own VNet and they are all in the same region. In my experience so far, I have never seen such network design in Azure before.

I currently have a client with an Entra ID user (not migrated from on-premises) that is cloud-based, but has proxyAddresses values assigned. Now, I want to update the proxyAddresses through the Graph Explorer and have used this link as a guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2280046/entra-connect-sync-blocking-user-creation-due-to-h. Now this guide is suggesting you can use the BETA model and this URL format... https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/users/%USERGUID% It states you can use that URL to do both 'GET' and 'PATCH' queries - the PATCH query being the one that will change the settings. You have to put forth a body for the proxyAddresses property in the PATCH query, which represents all of the addresses you want the user to utilise as proxy addresses. Now the GET query works... The PATCH query does not... Screenshot provided: Now, regarding the error message, I have applied ALL possible permissions in the 'Modify Permissions' tab. It is still erroring, Now I cannot use Exchange Online PowerShell, as the user does not have a mailbox! Aside from potentially using a license for Exchange Online or provisioning a mailbox for the user, and making the necessary changes, would the only other option be to delete/recreate the user?
