Having setup an External Git connection to my Azure DevOps repository. This means I pull the content instead of implementing Azure Pipelines to push changes when committed, this is CI/CD.

Access to the path is denied, Azure DevOps, Azure Deployment Center
I have been doing some testing with Azure Function deployments which requires me to break stuff. That gets me into some real trouble sometimes when all I want is a deployment to work like normal. Here are some other articles I wrote also while doing this. Azure DevOps Visual Studio 2022 add source code Missing […]
Read More →Missing Azure DevOps Organization when setting up CI/CD via Deployment Center
Having worked on Azure for many years now, I have provisioned, deleted, switch, modified so much I sometimes get a bit lost. I was configuring CI/CD for a project and selected Azure Repos, but when I opened the Organization drop-down I did not see the Azure DevOps organization. Figure 1, why is my Azure DevOps […]

I wrote this article some years ago, it’s great to look back at things to see how we have progressed. That’s a good reason to blog because it is a historical reference, at least from the way I experienced it. Azure DevOps was called VSTS way back then. Configure Visual Studio Team Services in Visual […]

This is because, as part of the App […]

If you happen to get this exception on an Azure Function when you have an Azure Storage Queue triggered Azure Function: The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character, more than two padding characters, or an illegal character among the padding characters. Figure 1, base-64 message required for […]
Read More →Validating Azure Function Application Setting Configuration, fail to trigger
One of the most common reasons that an Azure Function is not triggered as expected is because the endpoint which notifies the Function to run is misconfigured or blocked for some reason. The scenario I am focusing on here usually occurs during testing or after a deployment. If you are doing or have done neither […]
Read More →A Cancellation Token, an Azure Function and managing disruption
I wrote this post “Batching a Service Bus triggered Azure Function” as a prefix to the one here. That post shows how to configure a batch of messages so that they get processed in a single Function Invocation. What is a ‘”Function Invocation” you might ask? Well…, when you setup an Azure Function you bind […]
Read More →Batching a Service Bus triggered Azure Function
I spent some time working with a Service Bus triggered Azure Function and found some interesting scenarios. They are mostly intuitive, and I think when you are presented this, it makes sense. But sometimes I also think that stating the obvious is necessary, too, because sometimes it might not be so obvious to everyone, myself […]
