This PowerShell script demonstrates automated management and synchronization of devices with Microsoft Intune via Microsoft Graph API. Using client credentials to authenticate against Azure AD, it retrieves an OAuth 2.0 token and lists all managed devices in the environment for reporting purpose.
…This PowerShell script automates resizing Azure VMs. First use Get-AzVMSize command as shown in the below screenshot to check supported and available VM sizes in the given Resource Group. From the generated list of the Virtual Machine Size names, Use selected one in the parameter and execute the mai…
Why Importing Matters in Infrastructure-as-Code
When adopting Terraform for existing cloud environments, you'll inevitably face a critical challenge: How to bring existing infrastructure under Terraform management? This is where resource importing becomes essential. Without proper imports, Terrafor…
The provided code snippets demonstrate a robust CI/CD pipeline for deploying notepad++ using Ansible and GitHub Actions. This setup enables automated deployment of software applications on a Windows virtual machine (VM).

This article is a revised article of Create CPU quota usage alerts for subscription using Azure ARM templates. Initially, I encountered a challenge while attempting to incorporate ARM variables or parameters into Kusto Query Language (KQL) within an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template. Despite the…
This article demonstrates how to deploy an Azure ARM template using Terraform. I encountered several scenarios where resources deployed through Terraform, Bicep, or the REST API didn't function as expected. However, when I deployed the same resources using an ARM template, they worked flawlessly.
…In this article, this example shows how to deploy resource group in Azure subscription. While deploying resource group with PowerShell you need to use New-AzSubscriptionDeployment cmdlet. Below is the output after deploying Resource Group in the subscription.

This is another way of deploying resources/services on Azure using azapi provider using HashiCorp Terraform.
AzAPI is a lightweight, flexible provider that leverages the Azure ARM REST APIs, empowering you to manage any Azure resource type with any desired API version. This enables access to the …
This article is a continuation of my previous post, where I deployed CPU quota usage alerts for a subscription using Azure ARM templates. In this post, I'll demonstrate how to deploy Action Groups and Subscription Quota Alerts for CPU usage using Bicep.
Compared to ARM templates, I find Bicep to …
This article is about Implementing of CPU Quota Usage Alert for Azure Subscription. As part of my recent assignment, I successfully created a CPU quota usage alert for an Azure subscription using Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. The deployment enables real-time monitoring of CPU quota usage, …
Streamline your infrastructure as code (IaC) workflows by integrating your GitHub repository with HashiCorp Terraform Cloud (HCP). This powerful combination enables automatic execution of Terraform plans and applies based on changes made to your infrastructure code, ensuring that every update to you…
This documentation describes in what way to organize GitHub Actions to authenticate with Microsoft Azure Entra ID using OpenID Connect (OIDC) for secure and automated deployments to Azure. This guide covers key ideas like credentials, federated identity, and customer-managed keys for data encryption…
In this article, I will guide through the procedure of securely keeping Azure credentials in GitHub Actions Repository Secrets and using them to authenticate with Azure CLI commands. This enables the execution of GitHub Actions workflows, automating various tasks and deployments in Azure. By storing…
After successfully configuring and setting up Azure and Terraform in GitHub Actions, I embarked on a Proof of Concept (POC) to automate PowerShell scripts (Azure az module) using GitHub Actions. I meticulously automated all the job steps using PowerShell, with a primary focus on utilizing credential…
In this section, I'm leveraging the azurerm backend to keep the Terraform state (tfstate) file in an Azure Storage Account. This will make sure that the Terraform state is centralized and consistent across different environments and team members. Every time I push changes to my Terraform configurati…
GitHub Actions is a CI/CD tool that automates tasks and workflows within your repository. It lets you to create custom workflows, trigger actions, and keep sensitive information securely. Common use cases include automating testing, deployment, and code quality checks. You can also use GitHub Action…
In this article, I will guide you through the process of configuring a Terraform module hosted on GitHub.com as a source for the use inside Terraform module projects. In my previous blog (Part 1), I demonstrated how to set up a GitHub.com repository and branch using HashiCorp Terraform code.
To S…
In this Terraform example, I explored two approaches to working with map variables. Firstly, I used a for loop to iterate over the key-value pairs in the address_prefixes map, extracting the prefix values and enclosing the loop within square brackets [] to generate list from map.
Alternatively, I…
