Sunshine coast .Net user group meeting. Topic - Getting started with terraform on Azure.

Terraform is an open source tool created by HashiCorp to define infrastructure as cod using a simple, declarative language called HCL. Terraform is used to deploy and manage infrastructure across a variety of cloud providers & virtualization platforms. It can be used to deploy infrastructure to all major cloud providers such as Azure, AWS, Digital ocean, and virtualization platforms such as VMware, Open stack, and others.

A Repository is used to manage aggregate persistence and retrieval. The repository mediates between the data-access layer and the domain.The unit of work pattern keeps track of all changes to aggregates. Once all updates of the aggregates in a scope are completed, the tracked changes are played onto the database in a transaction

OpenAPI 3.0 lets you describe how your APIs are protected using various security schemes and their security requirements.

The Open API Specification is used to define the contract between the API consumers and the API providers. The specification is based on the JSON schema and is a standard format for describing the data exchanged between the API consumers and the API providers.

This post is a follow up on the Terraform 101 sessions for the Sunshine Coast dotnet user group. The slides and the code from the session are below.

The above code creates the VM password as plain text which is not ideal. The password can be generated and printed as an output if necessary. ...

In asp.net core https is enabled by default. The HttpsRedirection middleware class provides the necessary functionality to enforce redirection from http to https.

Dependency injection enables an application to use a key design principle called Loose coupling. Loose coupling enables us to write highly maintainable

GIT branching strategies are conventions, or a set of rules, that describes when branches are created. Choosing the right branching strategy is key to empower development teams to collaborate effectively.
