    Study Notes

    Log Alert Rule

    Azure Function App

    • Custom handlers can be used to create functions in any language or runtime by running an HTTP server process, for example Go or Rust.
    • Triggers are used to invoke functions and can have exactly one trigger.
    • Bindings provide a declarative way to connect data to your code.
    • Azure Storage events allow applications to react to events.
    • Storage (general purpose v1) does not support integration with Event Grid.

    Azure Web App

    • TLS mutual authentication can be configured for the web app.
    • Client certificate can be accessed through the HttpRequest.ClientCertificate property in ASP.NET.
    • Client cert can be available through a base64 encoded value in the "X-ARR-ClientCert" request header.
    • Create a system-assigned managed identity for the application.
    • Create an access policy in Key Vault for the application identity.

    Website Deployment

    • Deploy the website to an App Service that uses the Standard service tier.
    • Configure the App Service plan to automatically scale when the CPU load is high.

    API Management

    • Basic gateway credentials can be used to secure access to the back-end service of an API.
    • Client cert gateway credentials cannot be used for Azure resource.
    • API back end is hosted in an Azure App Service instance, which is an Azure resource and not an HTTP(s) endpoint.

    Deployment Slots

    • Auto swap can be enabled on the Production deployment slot.
    • Update the web.config file to include the applicationInitialization configuration element to specify custom initialization actions.
    • The swap operation waits for this custom warm-up to finish before swapping with the target slot.
