How to Create Azure Logic Apps: A Step-by-Step Guide

04/04/2023: Introduction: Azure Logic Apps is a powerful cloud-based service that allows you to create and automate workflows. It provides a visual designer that allows you to define your workflows using a drag-and-drop interface. These workflows can then be triggered by a variety of events, including HTTP requests, timer schedules, and messages from Azure services such as Azure Event Grid and Azure Service Bus. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to create an Azure Logic App and provide some code examples along the way. Step 1: Create a Logic App in Azure Portal To create an Azure...

Kubernetes and Microservices

04/08/2021: How do Kubernetes and Microservices fit in? Where would we be without microservices? In today’s world, organisations need to quickly build and scale a whole range of applications – and microservices architecture makes this possible. It lets organisations break down tasks into manageable chunks that can be worked on independently by separate teams of developers. This modular approach gives more control and allows for faster deployment and better scalability. It also gives the teams more autonomy. Each microservice has its own encapsulated process and can be coded by the most appropriate...

Cloud AI Services and AutoML – a growing trend

25/03/2020: The 4th annual Artificial Intelligence Dev Conference at DeveloperWeek was a full day of thought leadership talks and technical workshops on the newest technologies and best practices in AI development. Cloud AI services and automated machine learning (AutoML) were the subjects of one of the talks, and in this article we’ll explore why they’re so popular and how they can help your organisation. Cloud computing has been around for years and most of the key providers now offer cloud-based AI services. These leverage the providers’ extensive expertise and deep pockets, and make it easier...

Latest Innovations in Containers and Kubernetes

06/03/2020: Containers and Kubernetes have transformed the way we manage and orchestrate cloud environments, and they are a hot topic in the industry. They had their own conference track in the recent DeveloperWeek 2020 and also featured heavily in other tracks. In this article, we’ll explore what was discussed at the conference to give you an insight into the latest innovations and trends. Here are some key points from popular sessions: · The Serverless Application Development movement is growing fast, and the number of serverless-related services aimed at developers is ever increasing. The architecture...

Terraform and cloud services training course for DevOps software developers and cloud businesses

Controlling your cloud services with Terraform

11/11/2019: Terraform is a popular tool for managing your infrastructure – but it’s much more than just a configuration management tool. It’s more of a configuration orchestration system that provides an additional layer of functionality compared to other configuration management tools such as Ansible, Puppet and SaltStack. Unlike them, Terraform concentrates more on server provisioning. It uses infrastructure as code (IAC) and works with any cloud – whether private on-premises or public. That of course includes IaaS providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, OpenStack and Alibaba...

AWS vs Azure vs GCP

11/01/2019: Cloud computing has entered its second decade and is still growing strongly. Gartner, for example, has forecast the global public cloud services market to be USD 221bn this year, up from USD 154bn in 2017. That’s a 44% growth in just two years. The largest segment of the market is cloud application services (SaaS), with the fastest growing segment being cloud system infrastructure services (IaaS). The market is, of course, dominated by three cloud services providers: • AWS (Amazon Web Services) – which is 12 years old and has 62% market share • Microsoft’s Azure – 7 years old with 20%...

Microservices - some practical applications

02/01/2019: Microservices – some practical applications In today’s world you need to be able to quickly build and scale large applications – and microservice architecture is a popular way to do that. It lets you break down an application into manageable chunks (services) that can be independently developed and deployed. This modular approach gives significant advantages: • The individual services can be worked on by separate teams – which speeds up implementation • Each one has its own encapsulated process and can be coded in a variety of languages – with popular ones being Java, Python, C# and Kotlin...

Containerized Applications training course

Containerized Applications - faster Development?

07/11/2018: Containerized applications are becoming very popular and it’s easy to understand why. They provide so many benefits to organisations, especially when it comes to bringing new applications to market. Let’s look at some of the benefits here, using Docker and Kubernetes as examples. Faster development Docker containers package up software and its dependencies into self-contained units that contain everything it needs to run (code, runtime, systems tools, system libraries and settings). This guarantees that the application will always run consistently and reliably – no matter what computing...

DevOps - Popular Tools and Languages in use

23/01/2018: Unifying software development and operations has been identified as the most effective way to deliver true digital transformation. DevOps is helping businesses achieve more faster by aligning their application development with the strategic goals of the company. The DevOps concept has been widely publicised for years now, so the concepts are relatively well known. But when it comes to applying those principles, what are DevOps adherents actually doing? Containerised applications The inherent flexibility of Cloud services makes it ideal for the fast-paced DevOps model. However, replicating...

Docker and Microservices training course

Docker & Microservices - Latest advances and available training courses

22/01/2018: The adoption of DevOps principles to achieve digital transformation calls for applications that can be developed quickly and efficiently, and which scale easily according to demand. Traditional monolithic application development techniques which treat an application as a single, complete entity do not meet these criteria – which is why microservices are rapidly becoming the application model of choice. This new development paradigm splits an application into a series of components and services each designed for a single task. By focusing on single-purpose microservices, software engineers...

Javascript training | 5 Reasons to Learn Javascript

01/11/2017: Javascript - In transition or in confusion? A Developer's take on things... JavaScript is in a time of rapid transition. In the recent past it was often thought of as a toy language, lacking the capabilities of its more "enterprise" cousins. This is no longer the case. A sudden interest in "tooling" has meant that JavaScript can be adapted to fit into your business. If you have a large distributed team, you can use TypeScript to gain strong typing, classes, interfaces, and IDE based IntelliSense and refactoring. If you have a small, agile startup, you can use ES2015 to add more functional...

Application Security training courses | 4 Reasons to gain secure coding skills

03/10/2017: Traditionally Cyber security has been associated mainly with penetrating networks and infrastructure. Now a more subtle level of attack needs to be considered if we are to properly protect our corporate and client systems; Application level attack. As attackers become more sophisticated, Organisations must also look at whether their web applications (be it Java, .NET, PHP....) are coded with security in mind. If not, it is only a matter of time before they will be exposed. Developers can be quite protective about their applications and quality of code, but time and again we see "secure"...
