In a previous article I described how to configure an Azure SQL database failover group for high availability across multiple regions. But what if you want to limit network traffic to a database in this failover group to only your private networks? In this article I show how to make a SQL database failover group reachable via the Private Link service and make sure the database stays reachable after a failover.

With an Azure SQL Database, Microsoft is already providing high availability with an SLA of at least 99.99%. But if you want to prevent to be affected by a large regional event or want to meet regulatory demands to be able to execute failovers to another region, enabling a failover group is the solution for you. In this article I will show you how to create a SQL database failover group in two regions using the Azure CLI.

Azure App Services make it quite easy for you to add one or more authentication providers to your application. But how do you add Azure AD as a provider using Infrastructure as Code? In this article I will show you the steps of deploying and securing an Azure App Service with AAD authentication using an Azure pipeline.

A lot of people prefer to manage their infrastructure as code. Some infrastructures might require an App Registration in an Azure AD. So, why would we not apply the IaC practice here as well? An Azure pipeline might stop you, stating “Insufficient privileges to complete the operation”. So, this is not possible, or is it? In this article I will show you how to make an Azure pipeline in charge of apps in your Azure AD.
