Comment on Common mistakes to avoid when deploying to Azure Web App by Julia Davis

Julia Davis — Thu, 06 Jul 2023 12:01:58 +0000

I went through your article which was on PHP development. When developing PHP applications, there are several common mistakes that developers should be aware of and try to avoid. Here are some of the most important ones:
1.Lack of input validation and sanitization
2.Not using parameterized queries
3.Poor error handling
4.Not escaping output
5.Inefficient database queries
6.Insecure session management
7.Not using proper encryption
8.Neglecting code organization and structure
These are some points which I wanted to include in your article.

Comment on Enterprise-wide orchestration using multiple data factories by Jim O'Reilly

In reply to Mitchell Pearson.

When implementing the “Orchestration Using Webhooks” following all your very good and detailed explanations, I get the following error in the worker pipeline: Operation on target CallBack failed: Target url was null or empty.
I reviewed in detail and followed exactly all the steps. I did not use additional parameters, just type {} in the Body of the worker.
I found your API and example extremely useful and became very interested to implement the more complex scenarios you mentioned but first need to solve this WebHook issue. Looks like for some reason the callBackUri parameter is not been provided by the WebHook.
Please advice thanks very much

This article provides great insight how such a large company manages to maintain so many Nuget packages so well.

Comment on Configure access to Azure Data Lake Gen 2 from Azure Databricks by Chetan Shah

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for the this super helpful post. QQ regarding the following:

# authenticate using a service principal and OAuth 2.0
spark.conf.set(“fs.azure.account.auth.type”, “OAuth”)
spark.conf.set(“fs.azure.account.oauth.provider.type”, “org.apache.hadoop.fs.azurebfs.oauth2.ClientCredsTokenProvider”)
spark.conf.set(“fs.azure.account.oauth2.client.id”, “enter-your-service-principal-application-id-here”)
spark.conf.set(“fs.azure.account.oauth2.client.secret”, dbutils.secrets.get(scope = “secret-scope-name”, key = “secret-name”))
spark.conf.set(“fs.azure.account.oauth2.client.endpoint”, “https://login.microsoftonline.com//enter-your-tenant-id-here/oauth2/token”)

I’m not able to authenticate properly without passing the storage details like they do here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/data/data-sources/azure/azure-storage

I noticed this is missing from your code. Any reason why?

Thanks
Chetan

First of all, i didn’t get “The crown has to go to assembler code linked into a loadable module.” statement in it’s entirety. please shed some light on it. And can we conclude that ‘Assembler/Assembly Code’ are the most greenest or are most environment friendly.

I am a QA professional at Zenesys Technosys (India).

Comment on How to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of your application by Nik

Nik — Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:05:42 +0000

Great article. I’m looking at starting to measure this at my work which runs on Azure.

Questions I have:
Is there a way to report on total ACU used for a subscription in Azure?
Is there a way to report on server utilisation across a subscription in Azure?
