The FinOps tip: Limit the verbosity of your Azure Functions

Tips & Tricks

Setting up the monitoring of your Azure Function is essential (especially for your applications in production). But it happens that these produce many more logs than necessary. In this case, you can have a significant financial impact on Application Insights/Log Analytics. Here are some tips to limit this.

Adopt a GitOps approach with Azure App Configuration (Part 3)

Adopt a GitOps approach

In my last talk "GitOps, Continuous Delivery and environments: how to escape hell!", a participant pointed out to me that it would be good to show concretely how to set up a GitOps approach with modern tools. Being a fan of Azure managed services, I therefore suggest that you study how to set up a GitOps approach with Azure App Configuration.
