In this blog post I take my Flask (Python) web application and deployment to Microsoft Azure, and instead of doing it manually I do it via a CI/CD. I've previously discussed Continuous Integration (CI) in blog posts around CI, GitHub actions and recently Code Coverage. The CD of CI/CD can stand for Continuous Deployment or … Continue reading Continuous Deployment, Continuous Delivery – The CD of CI/CD (GitHub / Python / DevOps)

Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) Certification
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.
Azure Load Testing (Azure)
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)
Running Flask As A Linux Service (Linux / Python)
Continuing on with the Software Engineering & Agile module of my degree, I need to be able to show my Flask web application running. After picking a cloud platform (in this case Azure) I git cloned my repository to the Linux Ubuntu instance that will be running it and realised that I've not included a … Continue reading Running Flask As A Linux Service (Linux / Python)

What’s With All The Nines? (Availability)
If you are a user of cloud platforms (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) you have probably noticed the mentions of availability that include a lot of nines (9s). Generally these are 99.xx (ninety-nine point something), and the more nines after the ninety-nine point means more availability but to what level? If the service was available … Continue reading What’s With All The Nines? (Availability)

In this blog post I am looking at some of the considerations that should be looked at before any data is moved into a cloud environment. Know Your Data The amount of data that you have may be staggering as … Continue reading Storing Data In The Cloud
NIST: Definitions Of Cloud Computing
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and in September 2011 NIST published a definition of Cloud Computing. The full definition / document (SP 800-145) can be read via the NIST webpage: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-145/final , however I am going to summarise parts of the document. Five … Continue reading NIST: Definitions Of Cloud Computing
Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 3
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
Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 2
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: az … Continue reading Terraform and Azure (Infrastructure as Code) – Part 2
