Happy New Year 2023!

Hi!

I wish you and your family a happy and prosperous New Year 2023! I hope this is going to be an exceptional year for all of us. I will continue to write articles, blog-post about the Azure Security stack (Azure Policy, Defender for Cloud, AKS/Kubernetes). I think to add more articles related to multi-cloud (GCP). Lot of organizations will move forward with a multi-cloud strategy in 2023.

I absolutely love giving talks, sharing thoughts and having a good conversation with a group of like-minded people. If you’re interested let me know! Please find my upcoming speaking engagements for 2023.

All the best for the coming year, and I hope to see you in person as soon as possible! .

Azure Policy | Deny Action

Hi,

In this new article, I will share with you a new Azure Policy action: « Deny Action ». DenyAction is used to block requests on intended action to resources. The only supported action today is DELETE. This effect will help prevent any accidental deletion of critical resources.

This new Azure Policy action could help you to remove the Lock Type « Delete » in place at the Resource Group level.

Please find below an example:

{
   "if": {
      "allOf": [
         {
            "field": "type",
            "equals": "Microsoft.DocumentDb/accounts"
         },
         {
            "field": "tags.environment",
            "equals": "prod"
         }
      ]
   },
   "then": {
      "effect": "DenyAction",
      "details": {
         "actionNames": [ "delete" ],
         "cascadeBehaviors": { "resourceGroup": "deny" }
      }
   }
}

Microsoft Ignite 2022, Seattle WA

Hi!

I had the pleasure to be speaker at Microsoft Ignite 2022 in Seattle, WA! That was my first in-person conference since the Covid-19. This year the experience of Microsoft Ignite was different from what I have already seen during the previous editions. Lot of sessions were available in real-time online and in-person, I think that was a great idea for the people who can’t travel to Seattle.

During these two days of sessions, I had the pleasure to meet a great number of Microsoft MVP, Microsoft employees and attendees.

To give you an idea of the event, please find below a series of photos:
