In Azure we can link tags onto different resources, resource groups and subscriptions. We can use resource tagging for various reasons. With Azure Policy we can automate this process even further, linking different resources automatically based on what we want to achieve. For example, giving every resource in a specific resource group a tag.
Working with Azure and related services is easier when you use the right tools. Alongside the Azure Portal its highly recommended to make use of various other tools, which we can use for topics like cost management, architecture, designing, documentation and monitoring. In this guide, I will explain 10 tools I use regularly and we can use with Azure and its related services.
Cost management is very important when leveraging cloud services. Unexpected costs of cloud services can really disallow us from using any more services, and knowing from week to week what happens can help us with this. To partly address this issue for Azure Consumption costs, I have made a Logic App that sends us the actual consumption on weekly level. This because Logic Apps gives us much more customization options as the default built-in "Subscribe" feature.
Dynamic Groups are really great for automating certain things. They are basically like groups like we know them for several years but they always required some sort of manual action or assignment. Dynamic Groups will help us eliminating this. I will give some examples how I implemented certain actions in production. I will also share the rules syntaxes which can be used directly into your environment and can be changed to your likings.
Microsoft Defender for Endpoint is a built-in antivirus and security solution that helps protect your Windows devices. Because we want as less overhead as possible at certain moments, I though of using Defender with PowerShell. Using PowerShell, you can manage Defender by checking its status, running Full and Quick scans, updating protections, and handling detected threats. In this guide, I will explain some PowerShell commands with simple steps to help you control Defender effectively from PowerShell, remotely or even to use in your scripts.
