Having fun with Microsoft Azure

Working on a fun little PoC project to securely share a password or secret and destroy it after it has been fetched.
Using a FunctionApp and KeyVault

We use this task to deploy

- task: AzureFunctionApp@1
displayName: 'iThink Connect Api Deploy'
enabled: true
inputs:
azureSubscription: '${{ parameters.azureSubscriptionName }}'
appName: '$(functions.name)'
appType: functionApp
package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/api/drop/api'

Originally I was just using the Azure mobile app, but I have a protected SWA that uses a FunctionApp API backend to start the VM. No containers, lives in the VM and I use MCSM to manage which instance is running. Got some ideas to improve it as always. MCSM supports container front end and API.

Following my previous post - exploring secure and configurable methods of setting up an Azure Function App as a Backend to API Management. This is part two - utilising Easy Auth to secure access.

Have a read and hope it helps.

In my 20+ years of noodling in #SharePoint, this has got to be some sort of unicorn, flying pig, or needle in a haystack. Has anyone seen this exception before, as there was only a single entry in 30 days of logs, from a very busy #Azure #FunctionApp. #SharePoint #SQLServer

So just did a test, 1 Upload 1 File to SFTP account, it triggers a Log to Event Hub (Standard), which then parses it to Function (Flex Consumption), took roughly 2 minutes, before it appeared in my log output on the FunctionApp, from file creation.

Don't be caught out by the configuration differences in referencing KeyVault with your Logic Apps and Function Apps through Managed Identity. Have a read and hope it helps.

Been exploring secure and configurable methods of setting up an Azure Function App as a Backend API to API Management. The method I have posted about uses the Function Specific SAS key. Have a read and hope it helps.
