ConnectDataMinds Connect

This year DataMinds Connect will be held in Lamot, a unique convention center located along the water, in the historic center of Mechelen.

 

Session Title:

Azure Key Vault, Azure Dev Ops and Data Factory how do these Azure Services work perfectly together!

Session Details:

Can we store our Connectionstrings or BlobStorageKeys or other Secretvalues somewhere else then in Azure Data Factory(ADF)? Yes you can! You can store these valuable secrets in Azure Key Vault(AKV). But how can we achieve this in ADF? And finally how do we deploy our DataFactories in Azure Dev Ops to Test, Acceptance and Production environments with these Secrets ? Can this be setup dynamically? During this session I will give answers on all of these questions. You will learn how to setup your Azure Key Vault, connect these secrets in ADF and finally deploy these secrets dynamically in Azure Dev Ops. As you can see a lot to talk about during this session.

Service Healths in Azure

Monitoring

Creating Service Health Alerts in Azure

Azure Portal

In the Azure Portal go to Monitor – Service Health – Health alerts

Service_Alert_1

If you have created alerts before you will see them over here. Assuming you haven’t created an Alert before, we will start to create an Alert.

1 Define Alert Condition:

Service_Alert_2

Select the correction Subscription

Select the Azure Services where you want to get an Alert for

Select the Azure Region

And for this Alert Condition we will select only the Service issue as the Event Type.

2 Define Alert Details

Service_Alert_5

Define Alert Rule name CustomerName – Service Issue Alert

Define Description

Select the Resource Group where you want to save this Alert. I’ve created a seperate Resource Group where I store everything which is related to Monitoring of my Azure Environment.

3 Define Action Group

The last step of the alert Creation is to setup how we want to notify people. I the example below I will care take about the  Action Group Type Email/SMS/Push/Voice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fill in your email address

 

 

 

 

 

Fill in your email address and make your sure you install the Micrsosoft Azure app on your phone to receive push messages.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You also have the possibility to define multiple Action Groups.

Next time I will write how to change your Action Group to add or remove Members.

Thanks so much for reading through this article today, and I hope you all take some time to try it out. It's will make your life easier.

Maintenance and Service Healths in Azure

I get often questions, is there no maintenance in Azure. Like every data center, the Azure data center also needs maintenance. You can even be notified when a specific service, in a specific data center, has scheduled maintenance so that you will not be surprised.

 

Do you want know how to setup up these Service Health Alerts? Please click on the link below.
