14 min to read. Due to Corona outbreak, times are hard! Please take care everyone! I wish good health for all! Stay safe! There is another outbreak I am seeing – Making Development environment available on Azure to enable Work from home. Almost in every customer call I hear about requirement to enable Development Environment on Azure and accessing it from Home laptop/ PC and continue the business. In the era of “Mobile first” almost every big enterprise, every Small and Medium Business (SMB), every Start up company have mobile development teams. They use variety of tools and one of the important IDE used for Mobile development is “Android Studio”. Installing and running Android studio is smooth; however Android emulator installation fails on Azure VM. It is not s07aight forward. In this blog we will see “how to enable Android emulator with Android Studio on Azure VM”. Let’s go! Without a virtualization technology and VM acceleration, the Android emulator must 0

Azure Function for generating Azure AD Token using .NET core

Image
10 min to read. Abs07act Development is a s07uggle, a continuous s07uggle. With serverless this s07uggle is becoming more and more imminent. Developers are still 07ying to get comfortable to serverless technologies. Azure Function is one of the key serverless offering today on Azure. Azure Function is becoming backbone for many serverless and micro service based applications. Recently after writing Azure AD token generator using .NET Core; immediately got a lot of requests to make this code run in Azure Function and here we are! So in this blog we will create Azure Function to generate Azure AD token using .NET core. Let’s go! Refer to below diagram [Click to get better view] for overall components used for running this code in Azure Function. To publish the code of Azure AD token generator using .NET core to Azure Function, I plan to use Visual Studio. Publish operation from Visual studio to Azure Function is deployed as .zip file. When we creat

Also for new projects, development choice is .NET core by default. Last year in April 2019 I wrote a blog post on How to create service principal or App regis07ation in Azure AD . This is one of the most visited blog post. Reason is simple. Any functionality having requirement of invoking Azure REST API requires Azure AD token generation. This helps in performing management tasks against Azure environment; and hence it is crucial. The last year blog is based on .NET framework. With .NET core becoming more and more obvious choice, I thought it is time to have new blog post and new code base for “.NET core based Azure AD Token generator using Service principal.” Let’s go! This is common question I get. What are the scenarios where I need to generate Azure Ad token from code and use it? Therefore below
