Introduction: Web applications face frequent malicious attacks that exploit well-known vulnerabilities, such as Code Injection and Path Traversal Attacks. These attacks are hard to prevent in the application code, as they require constant maintenance, patching, and monitoring at multiple levels of the application architecture. A WAF solution can provide faster and centralized security by patching a known vulnerability for all web applications, rather than securing each one individually. Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a cloud-native service that protects web apps from common web-hacking techniques. It can be deployed quickly to gain full visibility into the we…

The topic of this month’s PGSQL Phriday #011 community blogging event is partitioning vs. sharding in PostgreSQL. It seemed right to share a perspective on the question of “partitioning vs. sharding” from someone in the Citus open source team, since we eat, sleep, and breathe sharding for Postgres. Postgres built-in “native” partitioning—and sharding via PG extensions like Citus—are both tools to grow your Postgres database, scale your application, and improve your application’s performance. What is partitioning and what is sharding? In Postgres, database partitioning and sharding are both techniques for splitting collections of data into smaller sets, so th…

Metadata-driven pipelines in Azure Data Factory, Synapse Pipelines, and now, Microsoft Fabric, give you the capability to ingest and transform data with less code, reduced maintenance and greater scalability than writing code or pipelines for every data source that needs to be ingested and transformed. The key lies in identifying the data loading and transformation pattern(s) for your data sources and destinations and then building the framework to support each pattern. In this blog post, I will provide an overview of a Metadata driven pipeline in Microsoft Fabric that follows the medallion architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold). The intent is not to provide a full tu…

To harness the true potential of AI technologies, like GPT-4, a robust and efficient infrastructure is crucial. Azure Landing Zones provide a structured approach to create a rock-solid cloud environment, while Azure OpenAI Service seamlessly handles AI model deployment and management.

In this blog post, we'll explore how to create SAS tokens in .NET, to enhance the security of your Azure Blob Storage. All the code used in this blob post can be found in Github. Please check it out if you would like to have an example of this running locally in a…

By: Mike Danoski – Senior Product Manager | Microsoft Intune As we update and simplify creating and managing configuration settings in Microsoft Intune, we’re migrating policies and settings to the unified settings platform. This platform is the foundation of the settings catalog, which provides quick access to policy and settings, and powerstemplates and baselines. Additionally, it provides consistency across naming, tooltips, and available values, and standardizes the “not configured” value for policy settings regardless of where you interact with the policy. We’ve already published new templates as curated collections of settings for specific scenarios an…
