Managed Identities

A managed identity from Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) allows your app to easily access other Azure AD-protected resources such as Azure Key Vault. The identity is managed by the Azure platform and does not require you to provision or rotate any secrets. For more about managed identities in Azure AD, see Managed identities for Azure resources.

Your application can be granted two types of identities:

• A system-assigned identity is tied to your application and is deleted if your app is deleted. An app can only have one system-assigned identity.
• A user-assigned identity is a standalone Azure resource that can be assigned to your app. An app can have multiple user-assigned identities.

• Event Hub (high volume / data streaming)

Commands

install azure-cli on mac

brew update && brew install azure-cli

Deploying Web app using a zip file

az login

az webapp list --resource-group az-204

//go to web app source code (.zip file)

cd API
az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group az-204 --src api.zip --name imgapifelipecembranelli


cd Web/
az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group az-204 --src web.zip --name imgwebfelipecembranelli

Azure functions

brew tap azure/functions
brew install azure-functions-core-tools@4
# if upgrading on a machine that has 2.x or 3.x installed:
brew link --overwrite azure-functions-core-tools@4

func init --worker--runtime dotnet --force
dotnet build
func new --template "HTTP trigger" --name "Echo"
func start --build
func azure functionapp publish funclogicfeliperc

// install httprepl (to run azure function locally)
dotnet tool install -g Microsoft.dotnet-httprepl
httprepl http://localhost:7071

Verifying current azure account

az account show

Creating Virtual Machine

Create resource group

az group create -l westus -n rg-az-204

Create vm

az vm create --resource-group rg-az-204 --name quickvm --image Debian --admin-username student --admin-password [xxxx]

az vm show --resource-group ContainerCompute --name quickvm

Run the following command to list all the IP addresses associated with the VM:

az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group ContainerCompute --name quickvm

Run the following command to filter the output to only return the first IP address value:

az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group ContainerCompute --name quickvm --query '[].{ip:virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[0].ipAddress}' --output tsv

Run the following command to store the results of the previous command in a new Bash shell variable named ipAddress:

ipAddress=$(az vm list-ip-addresses --resource-group rg-az-204 --name quickvm --query '[].{ip:virtualMachine.network.publicIpAddresses[0].ipAddress}' --output tsv)

Creating container registry

registryName=conregistry$RANDOM

az acr check-name --name $registryName

az acr create --resource-group rg-az-204 --name $registryName --sku Basic

Run the following command to upload the source code to your container registry and build the container image as a Container Registry task:

az acr build --registry conregistry28829 --image ipcheck:latest .

Resources clean up

az group delete --name rg-az-204 --no-wait --yes
