We often connect to cloud providers to deploy an infrastructure or apply a change to an application using GitHub workflow using an action. To access any resources within the Cloud, the workflow needs to be connected using a either providing credential or using the OIDC federated trust based between GitHub and the cloud provider. Here we will see how to customise and harden the OIDC connection between the GitHub and Azure for an Enterprise account.

I was looking into a way to get the files changed between the latest and previous commit in GitHub so that the workflow can process only the modified files after the commit or merge.

Its been a long time, since I posted here (but good to be back here). Recently I started exploring Pulumi for Azure and came across this Automation API and would like to share how we can setup this in a container to host it as an endpoint.

Here we will see how to Create, Configure and Consume the Custom Connector to query a M365 group members as a paged result using the M365 Graph api.

Here we will see how to use the PowerAutomate to create a new Flow from a template Flow and attach it to a document library with an ability to maintain the Flow functionality in one place. In this example, we will see how a “Request manager approval for a selected file” template flow can be attached a site and a same mechanism can be applied to any custom Flow.

After the recent announcement about the SharePoint Syntex, I started looking into how to utilise SharePoint Syntex capability for my day to day work to manage all the documents (Statements, Expenses etc), classify and retain it easily as soon as the document is scanned and uploaded using the PowerApp and PowerAutomate.

In the last 3 to 5 years, there has been more emphasis on collaboration, Lean, Agile, SelfService work models everywhere so that the people can act quickly and respond promptly to any queries.

I was looking into some of the options available to connect to the onpremise endpoints from Azure for an O365 solution. Azure Hybrid Connection is one them and here we will see how to set it up to connect to an sample api hosted locally (OnPremise) from the Azure function.

Currently, When we try to connect to the Azure KeyVault in a flow, the connection is not established properly and ended up in invalid connections with a blank KeyVault name as below and this was first reported here.

Office 365 groups underpins some of the M365 services and it is always recommended to have a governance in place for a easy management. In some of the large enterprise companies, governance of O365 groups must be in place to make sure that the right users are in the group. This can be achieved either by using a custom application, third party tools or using the Azure Identity governance.

In the recent years, Azure services has become the common go to platform to develop, host many small to large enterprise applications and the commonly used service to extend / implement any custom O365 functionality like site provisioning, custom governance application etc. Azure KeyVault will be one of the heavily used one across all the types of Business solution to store the secret / certificate / keys etc.
