Deploying resources to the cloud through deployment pipelines requires the need to authenticate with the various cloud providers in a standardised and secure manner. GitHub Actions offers the ability to authenticate with Azure using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
In this post, I’ll guide you through the process of setting up OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication with Azure and GitHub Actions.
Azure Function Apps allow developers to build and deploy event-driven applications in the cloud.

GitHub has really opened the doors for collaboration across the wider software development community. If you are already using GitHub then it makes sense to make the most of the GitHub ecosystem and use of all of it’s available features, including GitHub Actions; a powerful workflow engine that enables developers to automate repetitive tasks.
In this post I’ll show you how you can deploy an Azure Function using a GitHub Actions workflows, and by the end of this guide, you’ll have a fully working automated deployment pipeline setup.
Please note that this guide assumes that you are already familiar with using Azure Functions and using GitHub for basic source control management.
Let’s face it … security is HARD. Implementing authentication and authorization into applications has always been a challenge and a chore for developers. Building a secure application requires strong knowledge across a number of areas.
Thanks to the power of Easy Auth on Microsoft Azure it’s easier than ever to setup secure authentication for your web application with the click of a few buttons… Yep, I’m not kidding!
Ok let’s get started …
The AZ-204 (Developing Solutions for Microsoft Azure) exam is tailored to Microsoft developers working on the Azure cloud platform.
Having recently passed the AZ-204 exam I wanted to share my thoughts and insights in this AZ-204 Exam Study Guide to help you pass the exam.
If you’re an avid user of the Microsoft Azure cloud, you might have come across CRON expressions for defining schedules.
The CRON expression format originates from Unix-based systems, where it has been used for quite some time. While it is a powerful syntax for expressing schedules, it can sometimes be a bit confusing.
This article will provide you with a quick cheat sheet for using CRON expressions in Azure.
Do you have a need to generate emails with PDF attachments using the Power Automate (aka Microsoft Flow) workflow engine?
Guess what! You’re in luck because in this post I’ll show you how to do exactly that. I’ll show you how to generate a PDF document and send it via email.
There are numerous ways to manage your Azure resources, including the web-based Portal, the Azure Cloud Shell, API’s.
