What is object storage?

Object storage has by far the most simplistic interface out there, with no need for complicated SCSI drivers, HBA drivers, multipathing tools, or volume managers embedded into your Operating System. All you need to do is point your application at an HTTP endpoint, and use a simple set of verbs to describe what you want to do with a piece of data. Do you want to PUT it somewhere for safekeeping? Do you want to GET it so that you can do some work with that piece of data?

Writing a Book Using Git and Staying Organized on a Project

Git can be intimidating for non-developers, even though it’s in use by businesses and organizations across the world. In what other ways can we use Git to build and structure our lives?

Infrastructure as Code, part 3: automate Kubernetes deployments with CI/CD and Terraform

This series shows you how to get started with infrastructure as code (IaC). The goal is to help developers build a strong understanding of IaC through tutorials and code examples. In this post, I will demonstrate how to create continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) pipelines that automate the Terraform IaC deployments covered in part 1 and part 2 of this series. Here is a quick list of things we will accomplish in this post.

Advanced Service Bus Dead lettering with BAM

In the real world, when we implement systems, there are often many kinds of users, such as super business users and some level 1 support technicians who understand the application domain and can support a lot of your applications. Still, due to limited skills and experience with Azure, they are constrained to how much of the application they can help. A great example of this is when you have a solution that uses Azure Service Bus.
