Azure Key Vault is a great resource to store your secrets like passwords, connection strings, certificates, etc. and access them programmatically. A great feature is to add or update your secrets during deployment so you do not have to manage your secrets manually.

In this article, I will explain how you can add secrets to an Azure Key Vault using ARM templates.

When I start on a project that uses Azure resources, one of the first things I do is build the infrastructure and automate the deployment using VSTS or TFS. The definition of the infrastructure is defined using ARM templates.
When you search online you will find plenty of examples on how to create and use ARM templates. But when you move beyond the basics, you’ll find out the documentation is lacking.

In this post, I’ll explain how you can extend Azure Web Apps with Virtual Applications and Virtual Directories using ARM templates.

The other day I needed to get the URLs for all pages in my blog for some PowerShell scripting I wanted to do Like most websites, this blog has a sitemap and I wanted to use that as a source.

As I could not find any existing PowerShell scripts on the web that I could use, I just wrote one myself.

Now I like to share this script with you.

Last month I gave my session, in Dutch, titled “Serious Request, Azure als schaalbaar platform” during the dotNed Saturday event.

First, I’d like to thank everyone attending this session.

The session was about my experiences using Microsoft Azure to build a high available, secure and scalable platform for digital donations.

This platform is used during “3FM Serious Request”, the annual charity event organized by the Dutch radio station 3FM for the Dutch Red Cross.

I am sharing my slides so you can use my guides, tips & tricks to start building awesome, secure, scalable, performing and monitorable web platforms using Azure.

I am invited to speak at dotNed Saturday, “the Dutch .NET community event”.

The event is held on the 28^th of January at InfoSupport in Veenendaal.
