AzureFunBytes is a weekly opportunity to learn more about the fundamentals and foundations that make up Azure. It’s a chance for me to understand more about what people across the Azure organization do and how they do it. Every week we get together at 11AM Pacific on Microsoft LearnTV and learn more about Azure.
This time Microsoft Technical Trainer Peter de Tender joins me for a conversation about Azure Identity and Service Principals. Peter recently wrote a blog post on the Azure DevOps blog that really made me think it was time to dig into managed identity and access management a bit more.
We’ll learn that rather than using passwords or sending connection strings over the wire, we can use IAM tools within Azure to secure and simplify your deployments credentials.
