Studying for my degree apprenticeship uses up a lot of my spare time (i.e. my time outside of work) and concentration, so I’ve put most qualification / technology pathways on hold or at least maintained a slow attempt at them. Happy to say that I attempted and passed the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) certification today.
In this blog post I am going to look Azure Load Testing, using it to test how much my web application can take before it breaks. I am currently hosting my Flask (Python) web application within Microsoft Azure. Orignally I tried to go with the cheapest compute option I could find as this project is … Continue reading Azure Load Testing (Azure)
Part 1 of this series looked at setting up Terraform for use with Azure and then deploying some infrastructure. Part 2 looked at changing Azure subscriptions, inserting an SSH key in virtual machines and making the virtual machine run commands at creation. Backend Storage When I discussed using Terrform with AWS I made a blog … Continue reading Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 3
Changing Azure Subscriptions In part 1 I discussed logging into Azure using Azure CLI and noting the default subscription, as that is where Terraform will deploy resources to. However, you may have multiple Azure subscriptions and want to deploy to one that is not the default. This can be accomplished using the Azure CLI: This … Continue reading Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 2
During Summer 2020 I wrote a few blog posts about Terraform and gave a few examples in my geektechstuff AWS environment. Over the Autumn and Winter of 2020, and the Spring of 2021 I expanded my Terraform knowledge and experience a lot, and one of the points I think I need to blog about is … Continue reading Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 1
I take it for granted that when I look at a picture I can identify what the items in the picture are. However, as a baby I could not and as a young child I would probably struggle with non-every day objects in a picture. Computers are at a point in their development where they … Continue reading Cognitive Computer Vision (Azure / Python)
Yesterday I created a chat bot that uses an FAQ / Question & Answer knowledge base to answer a users questions. I created this bot using Microsoft Azure and details can be found at: https://geektechstuff.com/2019/03/03/creating-an-azure-qa-faq-chat-bot/ One detail I missed yesterday was adding the chat bot to a web page. Azure allows for chat bots to … Continue reading Adding Azure Chat Bot To Web Page
I’ve taken a look at using node.js and Python to create a chat bot in the past but never really progressed the idea, mainly because my website doesn’t currently need a chat bot. However after completing my recent project around text sentiment using Azure cognitive services I thought I would take another look at a … Continue reading Creating An Azure Q&A / FAQ Chat Bot
With the Python program (see part 1 and part 2) collecting Tweets from Twitter and then analysing the data via Azure to see if the sentiment is positive, neutral or negative it only means I am one step away from being able to retweet positive tweets. I’ve reused some of the code from my earlier … Continue reading Retweeting Positive Tweets, Or Part 3 Of Analysing Tweet Sentiment with Azure (Python / Raspberry Pi)
Building on the work I did yesterday using Azure to analyse Twitter tweet sentiment I have amended the function of the code so that it now marks the tweet as positive, neutral or negative. This is building up so that I can (hopefully) get my Twitter bot to retweet positive tweets about a subject of … Continue reading Analysing Tweet Sentiment with Azure -Part 2 (Python)
