Microsoft Azure – Storage in Azure Cloud Shell

 In this article, we will look into what really goes on underneath the covers as we demystify storage in the Azure Cloud Shell. The first time that you interact with the Azure Cloud Shell, it’ll ask you to create an Azure storage account. It’s going to use the storage account to persist any keys or any scripts that you might need whenever you’re interacting with your resources. 

When you choose the basic settings and select only a single subscription, Cloud Shell will create 3 resources on your behalf in the supported region that’s nearest to you:

  1. Resource group: cloud-shell-storage-<region>
  2. Storage account: cs<uniqueGuid>
  3. File share: cs-<user>-<domain>-com-<uniqueGuid>


Supported Storage Regions:

Cloud Shell machines exist in the following regions:

AreaRegions
AmericasEast US, South Central US, West US
EuropeNorth Europe, West Europe
Asia PacificIndia Central, Southeast Asia


Storage in Azure Cloud Shell:


If we look at our research groups, we have a research group called cloud-shell-storage-westus. 


In here we could see the storage account that got created for us. Now, if we were supposed to invoke the Cloud Shell, let’s run an LS command. we’ll see that we have a cloud drive folder that’s already mounted for us.

Now, if we go into that cloud drive directory, we’ll see that we also have another folder called the cloud console. So, let’s go into that too. Inside of here, we have a file called acc_cecile.img.



This is the file that’s actually backing the Azure Cloud Shell to persist any of the information you might need.

  Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you build, change, and version cloud and on-prem resources safely and efficiently. HashiCorp Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. How does Terraform work? Terraform creates and manages resources on cloud platforms and other services through their application programming interfaces (APIs). Providers enable Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API.

Different Types of Reports in Scrum - Agile

Image
  Introduction to Agile Reporting I’m not going to elaborate on the Agile Framework itself here.  1. Sprint Burndown At a Sprint-level, the burndown presents the  easiest way to track and report status  (the proverbial  Red / Amber / Green ), i.e., whether your Sprint is on or off-track, and what are the chances of meeting the Sprint goals. The burndown chart – when used right – can provide  near-real time updates  on Sprint progress. “If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into a sprint.” At the beginning of a Sprint, the Scrum team perform Sprint Planning and agree to take on development work worth a certain number of Story points. This forms the basis for the Sprint Burndown chart. The total story points agreed at the beginning of the sprint make up the y-axis, and the individual dates in the Sprint make up x-axis. If your team do it right, then they would take in just the right amount of work into ...
