When connecting to external systems in integration projects, availability tests help you monitor system uptime, verify security measures are up to date and confirm systems can be reached. This post shows you how to create Application Insights standard tests through Bicep to automate your availability monitoring with infrastructure-as-code.
Sometimes you just want to forward any request from Azure API Management to a backend without defining a detailed API contract. In this post I show how to create a simple Catch-All API that supports multiple HTTP methods and matches any URL.
Discover how to secure APIs in Azure API Management with OAuth 2.0 and Microsoft Entra ID using a fully automated, infrastructure-as-code approach. This post walks through deploying everything with Bicep, including app registrations via the Microsoft Graph Bicep extension, so you can avoid manual portal setup and ensure repeatable deployments.
I’ve recently published a Bicep template for quickly deploying Azure Integration Services, including Azure API Management, Function App, Logic App, Service Bus and Event Hubs namespace, along with supporting resources such as Application Insights, Key Vault and Storage Account.
When you have a string value in Bicep with multiple placeholders that you want to replace, it can be tricky to find a good way to do this. In this blog post, I will show you how you can replace placeholders in a string with a couple of user-defined functions.
When deploying Azure resources, it’s a good practice to apply a naming convention to your resources. This will help you to identify the purpose of the resource and the environment it belongs to. In this blog post, I will show you how to apply a naming convention using Bicep user-defined functions. This post also includes a short introduction to the (experimental) Bicep Testing Framework.
