As a cloud engineer, Git becomes the tool for creating and making changes to your Infrastructure as Code.
Source control is one of the most basic tools that is used in software development.
And we’ll show how to deploy using both Azure Pipelines and GitHub pipelines.
In this blog, we will show how to integrate into both GitHub and into Azure Repos. Azure DevOps integrates nicely with Bitbucket too, and many others.Īzure DevOps brings you the tools you need to manage large projects, including boards, Azure DevOps integrates nicely with Git and with GitHub. The choice isn’t necessarily between the two repos. GitHub or Azure DevOpsĪ Cloud Guru describes these as DevOps twins. Or you can set up your own hosted Git repository. Many repositories work with Git, such as BitBucket, SourceForge, GitLab, and ones that we’ll talk about in this blog, Azure DevOps and GitHub. Remote repositories are for backup and collaboration. There is nothing in Git that requires you to have a remote service like GitHub if all you want is version control.
The article does not go into depth on each topic, but rather provides an overview to the steps and some helpful code snippets for common cases. You will want some basic familiarity with Git, Azure DevOps, and GitHub. The purpose of this article is to provide the steps to get set up and provide the steps for some common scenarios for both GitHub and Azure DevOps so you can get started checking in code. But first, because our blog is related to enterprise production, you will you will want to set up a repository for your code. In our next post you will learn more about Git workflows. Git is a primary tool for both developers and cloud engineers who are moving to infrastructure as code.
Git is distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. And a source control system is idea for all this. I’m sure that you have already considered implementing a (site-based) GPO but you have decided to go down the scripting route instead.In setting up our production environments, we’re started to get some code that we will want to backup, save, reuse, make changes, and share with others. So we need to get a sort of proper validation or filter.
If ((Test-NetConnection -ComputerName $server -Port $port).TcpTestSucceeded) #Test if the TCP Port on the server is open before applying the settings Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings' | Select-Object ProxyServer, ProxyEnable Remove the current proxy settings for the user. Proxy 3128 # or set-proxy -server "" -port 3128 Test the address and if the TCP Port is open before applying the settings. Set the proxy server for the current user.
The feature offered by this script is that the connection to the proxy server and the TCP port is tested before applying any change to the windows registry for the current user internet option.
If you want to test different proxy and set them up frequently that manual process can be done via this simple Powershell script or even automated. Frequently a bad configuration of a proxy server on the device can be the root cause of users navigation problems or negative experience, needless to say, that companies use group policies to manage proxy settings or transparent proxy in a router/firewall to avoid this problem.īut in general, a proxy server has a positive impact on the user experience and sometimes the user is not even aware of it.įrom the user point-of-view setting a proxy server can be a manual and boring process to set up, in an MS Windows OS: open control panel, internet options, connection, lan settings, properties, enable the proxy and providing address and port of the proxy. Proxy servers are everywhere and used for more than one purpose.
