You don’t need the Azure portal to validate network security. Use shell scripts to test NSGs, VNet peering, and VM-to-VM SSH. Fast checks, clear visibility, and better troubleshooting.

Remember sdk-auth? Yeah… it’s officially gone. 💀

One day you’re deploying resources. The next you’re staring at an auth error, wondering where it all went wrong. 😅

Goodbye sdk-auth, hello AZURE_CLIENT_ID and friends.

Evolve or deploy nothing.

Ever had your pipeline fail ‘cause your self-hosted agent ran out of memory? 🫨 That’s what happens when you go cheap on VM sizes.
Sure, you can clean dirs, prune Git, or kill processes… but sometimes the best fix is just: add more RAM 💾💡

Terraform: State Mgmt 🗂️
State file tracks what’s deployed. Remote backends (Azure, AWS, GCP) keep it secure + sharable.

Best practices: encrypt 🔐, lock 🛑, don’t version control the state file.

State = Terraform’s single source of truth. Manage it well or face infra chaos. 🚀

Authentication = “Prove you are who you say you are.”

Authorization = “Cool, but are you allowed to do that?”

In Azure, it’s the difference between showing your ID at the door vs. actually getting into the VIP lounge. 🎟️

Terraform Dependency Types ⚙️

• Implicit: Terraform figures out resource order automatically.
• Explicit: Use depends_on to define order when it’s unclear.

Why it matters:
✔️ Ensures correct build order
✔️ Prevents failures from missing prereqs
✔️ Improves clarity in complex configs

🔑 Terraform Core vs Provider Versions:

Core = CLI (e.g., 1.6.2)
Provider = Plugin (e.g., AZURE 5.24.0)

Why it matters:
✔️ Prevents breaking changes
✔️ Ensures consistent infra
✔️ Reproducible CI/CD
✔️ Avoids API issues

Lock versions in configs for stability.
