Integrating your Apps with Azure
In the latest episode of the Azure Essentials training series you`ll learn how you can use Azure as an integration platform, leveraging core services like Service Bus, Event Grid and Logic Apps as well as API Management. In this video Matt McSpirit will also show you how Azure can be used be to connect back to your local business apps in your datacenter using virtual networks or the On-premises Data Gateway. Let us know how you`re integrating your Apps with Azure in the comments bellow

Azure REST API - $filter param for time delta throws ProviderError
Hello All, We are facing issues with the Azure API endpoint for fetching security alerts based on given time filter. https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Frest%2Fapi%2Fsecuritycenter%2Falerts%2Flistbyresourcegroup%23code-try-0&data=02%7C01%7Cannishprashan.stevi%40hcl.com%7Ce89ea1593b4247b8b13f08d70530766b%7C189de737c93a4f5a8b686f4ca9941912%7C0%7C0%7C636983578009379205&sdata=JavMX5P2vJPhQ5ERafc4kC5gxELv%2FEjtulWo%2B84xhIQ%3D&reserved=0 and screenshot for the API section, We encountered the following error while hitting the endpoint with the required params and Bearer access token. Error Details: { "error": { "code": "ProviderError", "message": "Resource provider 'Microsoft.Security' failed to return collection response for type 'alerts'." } } Endpoint URL: https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/{subscription-id}/resourceGroups/{ResourceGroup}/providers/Microsoft.Security/alerts?api-version={version}}&$filter=properties.reportedTimeUtc eq '2019-07-06T08:00:51.8801218Z' NOTE: The URL gives response without specifying the time “filter” , but when using filter as one of the params, we get the above mentioned error. The param value used: $filter = properties.reportedTimeUtc eq '2019-07-06T08:00:51.8801218Z' Could anyone help in the resolution of this issue? Let me know for any additional details/clarifications. Thank You.Azure VM price tool. I've tired of clicking through azure pages and created a simple site.
Hi, Just spend a few weekends and created that fully automated tool http://azureprice.net that should help: choose right VM size, comparing pricing and specs on one page with filters, searching and etc. I`ve implemented a thing that shows you the cheapest region with that VM and % of the price difference. Sometimes it's very boring to click through all-region variants on Azure calculator During development, I`ve found an interesting thing about Azure internal exchange currency. AWS is using exchange rate on a billing date but Azure have a static exchange rate that updated not quite often. Sometimes it's an advantage because you can plan your budget and will not have surprised if official exchange rate will be changed but sometimes it's not because official rates can be less than the Azure ones. I think that can be a way to get a small discount if you will choose the right currency and country during creating the account:) The tool based on Azure Web Sites and DocumentDB in the back-end. All data collecting once per day using Azure Functions through Azure API management and putting everything to Document DB. DocumentDB Findings Hope DocumentDB product team will change pricing model because right now I need manually/scripting UP scale RU/s before bulk inserting and after that scale down it to 400 RU/s. I think PaaS service should do that automatically or just bill me for additional RU/s but right now I need to do that with scripting and pay for 10k RU/s for one hour per day where I need only 2-3 minutes with so much RU/s. Also, it will be wonderful if DocumentDb will have a normal bulk inserting API because "recommended" way using stored procedure feels that a "dog-nail" method with try-again from where it was failed last time. If you guys have suggestions or feature request feel free to leave a comment here and I will try to implement it. VicAzure IoT Pipelines with Microsoft AzureDevOps Project for CI/CD

Microsoft Azure Hub-Spoke Model When you have your Microsoft Azure Architectural Design in place like a HUB-Spoke model this Microsoft documentation can help you with the Security and networking design in Microsoft Azure Cloud services. The Virtual Data Center (VDC) isn’t just the application workloads in the cloud. It’s also the network, security, management, and infrastructure. Examples are DNS and directory services. It usually provides a private connection back to an on-premises network or datacenter. As more and more workloads move to Azure, it’s important to think about the supporting infrastructure and objects that these workloads are placed in. Think carefully about how resources are structured to avoid the proliferation of hundreds of workload islands that must be managed separately with independent data flow, security models, and compliance challenges.

API Management restrict inbound
Hi, I have API Management which is used to present a number of APIs to internal services - the APIs requests are from internal services only. Except i have a number of LogicApps that need to call some APIs. I dont really want to expose API Managment externally so that the logicApps can call. The LogicApps sit outside of the VNET and i dont want to just white list the IPs of the Logic Apps as these could be used by other Azure customers. So is there a way that API Management can block all external requests unless originating from the LogicApps? Maybe something like Hostname or something? Thanks
