I recently decided to shift my gears with static pages for my blog. I have been using wordpress for all my blog publication so far. You can find my old blog here. With the trend of static pages, I thought of re-inventing the backend of my blog. And here we are, you are reading my new blog based on static pages which is hosted on Github pages. In this blog post, I am going to show you what happens under the hood when I publish a new article.

In this blog post, I’m going to be sharing my knowledge that I gathered during a lab setup. Last weekend, I was playing with Ubiquiti USG BGP features and was wondering If I could establish BGP peering with my Azure VPN Gateway. This way, it could dynamically exchange routes between my home network and Azure. I typically have a hybrid networking configured between my home network and Azure. My Azure network is very dynamic, I create new VNETs and delete VNETs very often. Managing static routes in my home router and IP Sec tunnels in each setup has been very cumbersome. Therefore, my curious mind was always looking for a smarter way to do this. If you are in this same boat, join with me.

Recently, I got an opportunity to compare the Private Endpoint for Web Apps, Service Endpoints for Web Apps and App Service Environments. I thought it would be good to write a blog post on the observations and the comparison I learned. Limiting the attack vector for the web applications and exposing the application only to the customer private networks is a very common requirement when you talk to customers. Therefore, this blog is about a comparison between the most commonly used hosting methods for internal-facing web applications in Azure.

I recently went through my second study phase around docker containers recently. Docker is a huge topic these days and widly used in the application containerization. I use Docker at home and at work in many projects. I thought it would be useful to create a Docker Cheat Sheet for my reference and share that among the community and that lead to this post. In this post, I’m going to list the most common commands used when playing with Docker containers.
