Azure Weekly
Issue #363 - 13th March 2022
Here are the articles I found interesting this week: Master Azure CLI queries - The missing manual, and Deploying a container image to Azure Container Registry using a GitHub Action with Azure CLI.
In the data space: Introducing dynamic lineage extraction from Azure SQL Databases in Azure Purview, and Optimize database schema in serverless SQL pools using QPI library.
The service which is nearing the top of the list of things I want to experiment with: Generally available: Azure Chaos Studio Key Vault and Classic Cloud Services faults, and finally how to do Parallel processing in Azure logic apps.
