🚀 Howdy Folks — azureblueprints.net iteration #2 is here! https://lnkd.in/gV4KFHxd Introducing Azure Workload Builder ⚡ Remember when I shared the IaC scaffolder a little while back? The feedback was amazing 🙌 — and one theme kept coming up: “What if I just want to spin up a few services without a full landing zone?” So here it is → Azure Workload Builder 🎉 Instead of starting from scratch, now you can visually pick services like a Web App, Storage Account, and Key Vault → and instantly get a deployment-ready Bicep template with: ✅ AVM module references baked in ✅ Dependencies auto-wired (Web App ↔ App Service Plan, etc.) ✅ CAF-compliant naming + tagging ✅ All required + optional parameters (no more ‘missing parameter’ surprises) ✅ Dev/Test/Prod parameters pre-generated ✅ Downloadable in seconds, client-side only 💡 The goal: Make it easier for starters, students, and teams just kicking off — so you don’t spend half an hour wiring modules when you really just need to test, demo, or validate an idea. 🔧 Under the hood: It pulls from real AVM module specs with proper versioning, discovers parameters dynamically (like IntelliSense), and outputs a complete repo with main.bicep + parameter files — zero backend, pure browser magic ✨ 🌐 App: https://lnkd.in/gV4KFHxd 💻 Source: https://lnkd.in/giTB4EZB Would love your feedback 🙌 #Azure #AzureMVP #Bicep #AzureVerifiedModules #DevOps #InfrastructureAsCode #OpenSource #CloudEngineering #Vm #IAC #Infrastructure

OpenShift vs Vanilla Kubernetes – Feature-by-Feature Comparison This is a comprehensive and well-structured comparison between OpenShift and Vanilla Kubernetes. The feature-by-feature layout makes it easy to digest key differences across architecture, security, developer experience, networking, storage, and support. Highlighting critical enterprise features like built-in OAuth, CI/CD tooling, and secure defaults gives readers clear insight into OpenShift’s advantages. The use of tables to compare functionality helps visualize contrasts effectively. Including real-world use cases and scenarios where \However, the repeated promotional link slightly disrupts the reading flow—placing it only at the beginning and end would make the document more polished. Still, the guide balances technical depth with accessibility, making it useful for both newcomers evaluating platforms and seasoned professionals aligning tools with enterprise requirements. Overall, this document successfully clarifies the strengths of each platform and provides actionable guidance for selecting the right container orchestration approach.

Choosing Between Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry – A Comprehensive Guide Last week, I received a question that many customers share: "When should I choose Azure AI Foundry, and when should I use Copilot Studio? What if I start with the wrong tool?" The truth is, this is not about "OR" — it's about "AND". The real decision is not about picking one tool over the other, but about understanding which tasks each tool is best suited for and when to combine them for maximum value. In today's article, I break down the core capabilities of both platforms, explain their ideal use cases, and show how they work together to deliver enterprise-grade AI solutions. If you want to understand the nuts and bolts of Copilot Studio and Azure AI Foundry—and learn practical scenarios where combining them unlocks the most business impact—head over to my blog now. #microsoft #copilotstudio #powerplatform #azure #aifoundry #agents #mvpbuzz

Think .NET Aspire is locked to Azure? Think again. In my latest video, I show how you can integrate .NET Aspire with AWS and build a complete event-driven flow: - Provision AWS infra with CDK + CloudFormation - Wire up Orders API → SNS → SQS → Orders Processor - Inject resource values directly into your Aspire AppHost - Add OpenTelemetry tracing for full end-to-end visibility This demo proves Aspire is more flexible than most people realize, and that AWS is a first-class citizen.

The recent update to the Azure Databricks platform introduced an important new functionality: the ability to set service endpoint policies (for storage) on a host subnet used by the Azure Databricks workspace. This change enables better control over which storage accounts are accessible from the workspace (classic compute) without the need to create private endpoints (for your own account) or run storage traffic through a firewall (i.e., for accounts used to serve Databricks Runtime images). With this change, you can save significant amounts of money without compromising security. Here is an example of its configuration using Terraform: https://lnkd.in/e6E2ENti (requires patched azurerm provider). P.S. This is not so relevant if you use serverless compute... #azure #databricks #networking #security https://lnkd.in/edfwkP_z

It’s 2025 and yes, companies are still migrating servers to the cloud. In this blog, I'm talking about Azure (but let’s be honest, it’s never just Azure these days). I find that kind of wild, but also weirdly comforting. Why? Because it means we’ve got a rich, RICH archive of hard-won lessons to pull from. Before you go installing agents on 200 servers, stop, breathe, and read this. Azure Migrate isn’t one-size-fits-all. Knowing when to use agentless vs. agent-based can save you a ton of time, plus a few gray hairs. I broke it down so you don’t have to YOLO your migration strategy. https://lnkd.in/g3cTHPHP #azure #migrate #azuremigrate #agentless #fullofagents #butnotagentic
