#Azure

Did #Azure run out of servers?!

"Sorry, we are currently experiencing high demand in North Europe region, and
cannot fulfill your request at this time. [...] please follow this link
https://aka.ms/cosmosdbquota for more details on how to create a region access
request."

I've managed to configure an #Azure Storage Queue and Functions so that I can
prevent #IoT devices from hammering a third-party API.

What's annoying a little bit is that it's not possible to filter incoming device
messages based on the MQTT topic (AKA property bags).

I'm back working on running firmware end-to-end tests on #Azure and have been
struggling for days now with a seemingly simple task: using service principal
credentials to access the IoT hub.

Interestingly, a code search on GitHub did yield not much.

I'm about to set up everything again from scratch on #Azure ...

Typical #Azure experience, everything is painfully slow... all the time.

Wow, half a day wasted because the plumbing on #Azure broke:
https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/issues/1456 ... the Node.js runtime
stopped sending content-length headers.

@AzureSupport

I guess it's time to take a break from #Azure for today. :/

So in #Azure, a Subscriptions is also called an Account, and you log in with
your Microsoft Account and can access multiple Directories which can have
multiple Subscriptions AKA Accounts.

Easy!

#Azure pros: do you have separate subscriptions per project for better cost
control?

Azure kinda punishes that because support plans are linked to only one
subscription...

The part I really like about working with #Azure is that GitHub Actions are
arguable their solution for CI/CD. On AWS CodeBuild/CodePipeline is nice, but
Actions is just the right amount of simplicity and configurability for
cloud-native setups.

Norway:

• East
• West

is an interesting way to subdivide this country regionally.

I don't know how #Azure makes money, but it's not because of being developer
friendly:

So, the #Azure IoT PnP system is only designed for public model IDs:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-pnp/concepts-modeling-guide#model-ids
... meaning everything has to go through a PR. Quite painful for development
@AzureSupport ... Why not support HTTP URLs
for the model id?

#aws #azure #serverless #iot #job

So, started to separate instances for #e2e testing of
@bifravst on #Azure
(https://bifravst.gitbook.io/bifravst/bifravst-on-azure-wip/continuousintegration)
and suddenly the azure functions cli stops publishing all functions, while
running them locally it lists them all. Time for the weekend I guess :/
@AzureSupport

Anyone doing end-to-end tests on #Azure infrastructure out there? Would love to
chat about your strategies.

What a day: "No such file or directory: '$web'" - az storage blob upload-batch
no longer works.

#azure

The #Azure support is friendly, but they have no insights into why my deployment
fails.
