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<\/a> and learn more about Azure.<\/p>\n

This time Microsoft Technical Trainer Peter de Tender<\/a> joins me for a conversation about Azure Identity and Service Principals. Peter recently wrote a blog post on the Azure DevOps blog<\/a> that really made me think it was time to dig into managed identity and access management a bit more.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
