New Azure Portal – Preview

The new Azure Portal (in preview) is really great. Bundles a lot of the functionality that is sometimes hard to retrieve

  • Azure Health (e.g. BizTalk Services / Service Bus)
  • Billing information
  • View your resources (at this moment only Resource Groups / WebSites / Team Projects / SQL Databases / MySQL Databases)
  • Notifications (the alert functionality)
  • The concept of ‘Journeys’ (preselection filters you’ve implicitly placed so that you can quickly look at the dashboard the way you want)

Some screenshots to show how much more insight this provides…

The portal brings a lot of features together that had to be done using different areas, like the billing portal, which only showed a few billing details, where an excel file was the only way to retrieve details, and the Azure health, which was located somewhere else.

So far, a great portal for a preview!

 

Cheers,

Focus and innovation - recap of the last 2 years

It's been a long time since my last post. Hereby a partial explanation for that, with the note that this blog will remain active for the purpose of being a resource for historical references. My IT career started with programming, and adventures within holland, as well as overseas. When I realised programming is something you can specify, I figured that providing added value is crucial for a long term career and decided to focus on process centric roles. I started with webservice integration and eventually from that to process integration using BizTalk. The great feeling when discussing high level processes and implementing solutions within days, even highly scalable and interfacing with LOB systems is great. After several years of implementing solutions like these, I started questioning if all of this work was justified by the business case, if the solution was actually contributing, if the choices had been valid. In other words, I needed to understand the choices made. When...

BizTalk Pub/sub vs Topics based routing–discussion

My colleagues and I had a brief discussion about the subject ‘Topics’ and what it brings… Do you all agree/disagree with the following statement: topic-based pub-sub messaging doesn’t really exist in BizTalk “In my opinion; I disagree, as BizTalk offers the following 'out-of-the-box' • Message Routing (f.e build in context properties like message type, trading partner, operation etc) • Content Routing (f.e. promoted properties, message inspection in orchestrations/pipelines icw orchestration logic)” My colleague Rene Brauwers Here my 2 cents…. I agree that it exists...however the current offerings in BizTalk are tightly coupled, making the usage far from perfect. When doing content based routing on custom fields (promoted properties), you will be making the solution message-coupled; Your custom message property schema is deployed, and the message filter on these fields have a direct relationship with this property schema. Making any change to this schema will g...
