A peer and friend of mine, Jordan Bean, wrote a blog on How to start/stop Azure Container Apps using Logic Apps – Jordan Bean Dev Blog. His challenge?

It allows members to sign-up to speak to the community on a topic relative to the community. I shared by app with my teammates, giving them all Basic…
I wanted to test adding approvals to an Azure DevOps YAML pipeline, outside of Environment approvals. I created a project that contains the following files: deploy.bicep – Bicep template that will create a storage account in Azure. validate.ps1 – PowerShell script that mocks a validation stage, could be a what-if or some other validation. deploy.ps1…
