Hey Paul! Yeah, I realised after I filmed this that things were slightly different in an Enterprise, and I added a few sections in, but I can't recall how many. For your first question, yes, you still get the Database ID, but instead you pass in your enterprise slug, the specific docs are here: docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/configuration/configuring-private-networking-for-hosted-compute-products/configuring-private-networking-for-github-hosted-runners-in-your-enterprise#1-obtain-the-databaseid-for-your-enterprise For question 2, given the setup in an Enterprise is done at the Enterprise level, you can then leverage it from multiple organisations. So you could probably go either way you want, where you setup specific runners and runner groups at the enterprise level, for each organisation, or you could just set up one at the enterprise level to use across multiple orgs. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the feedback! Good question - I’m honestly not sure. I don’t think that functionality was there when this video was released, but it may be today. Alternatively leveraging LLMs to create the files is a great use of that technology.

@@MattAllford thanks will try

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

You're most welcome, glad it is helpful!

Thanks for watching, happy to hear it was helpful! Point noted - might make for a good follow up section. Not sure if you came across it, but there's a bit of info in the docs about using the API if that's of interest: github.com/shibayan/keyvault-acmebot/wiki/

Thanks for watching, and sorry for the delay in response. You are correct! As long as the VNET where the GitHub runner NIC is located has routing and firewall access to the target resources, it will be good to go. It will abide by any network policies and configurations such as DNS that you have applied to the network it joins 👍

Awesome, love to hear that!

Hi there! Thanks for watching. There is some information in the WIKI page of the tool for Route 53 linked below. Otherwise this might be a good use case to get a LLM to help with the specific steps you’re looking for? github.com/shibayan/keyvault-acmebot/wiki/DNS-Provider-Configuration#amazon-route-53 Hope that helps.

Thank you mate, glad you liked it 🙂

I haven’t come across that myself, sorry. There seems to be a bit of information about that error and JMX files. Have you gotten far with general troubleshooting or even with a LLM like ChatGPT?

I also got MalformedURLExpception. I used your sample directly and used it from git. It appears as if somehow environment variables are not picking up. Checked UDVs it is correct. Any settings in Azure to somehow let it pick?

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment - I really appreciate the feedback!

100% agree! I’m sure they’ll see a big uptake in this integration, and can then hopefully bring it to other cloud platforms too.

Thanks for watching! I’m glad it was helpful.

Hi there. Apologies, I missed this comment. I’m not sure what is going on, sorry. Are you able to engage Azure support to help troubleshoot?

Thanks for the support! Yes, absolutely aiming to keep the content for the course rolling out. Unfortunately the last 6 months threw a few hurdles my way and cause a delay in production. Planning is well underway for the next section!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

Woo! That's a fantastic solution, great work, and I'm glad this helped you achieve a hands off, low cost automated solution :) Thanks for sharing the update, I love hearing when people put this sort of thing in to practice!

Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad it was helpful!

I’m not sure about the specifics of that one, sorry.

Hey! Yep, the solution will automatically renew certificates 30 days before their expiry - github.com/shibayan/keyvault-acmebot/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions#automatic-renew-an-existing-certificate Hope this helps!

Hey Simon. Are you referring to the protection of the API key being used to access your DNS provider? The best course is to store the API key as a secret in Key Vault, and then reference that secret from the function app. For example, the app setting "Acmebot:Cloudflare:ApiToken" on the function app could be set to reference the key vault secret containing the API Key, rather than pasting it directly in to the value (like I did in the video). Does that help?

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

Hey Patrick. Thanks for the comment and the feedback. I really appreciate you took the time to let me know - as a content creator that really helps a lot! Glad the video was useful for you 🙂

I love to hear that! Thank you for watching and I’m glad it helped.

Hi there. Sorry about the delay in response, I missed this comment. The $3 renewal is not relevant with this solution - that’s applicable when Key Vault itself is processing the renewal. This solution performs the renewal outside of key vault, and is just using key vault to store the certificate. Hope that helps!

Awesome! Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for watching! I’m glad it helped.

Thanks Wasim, appreciate the watch and the feedback! At the end of the day, the content I create here is something I do to share knowledge and try to deep dive in to various topics. If the next generation or the algorithm aren’t happy with that, then that’s ok 🙂 I try to create content I’d enjoy consuming. There’s definitely a backlog of content to create (over 40 topics / ideas), but as you noted there are often more important things that demand my time.

@MattAllford thanks for your quick reply. I agree and disagree with you at the same time; I realize that when you do something like UA-cam, you usually want to talk about subjects your way, leaving behind the constraints we often have in our work environments; however, as an opportunistic I am, I believe that you have all the qualities that can make you huge in the field on UA-cam or any other platform. I really hope to see more of your content soon.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching! Sorry to hear the docs are falling short. Do you have an active subscription with a support agreement? It could be worth opening a service request via the Azure Portal. Otherwise, I believe the team moved from GitHub issues over to the VS developer community for load testing ideas, feedback, and issues. URL is below, I hope this helps! developercommunity.visualstudio.com/loadtesting

Hi there, sorry I did not see this comment earlier. I’m not immediately aware of the ability to add multiple DNS zones to a single function app, but I can see why that’s a valid request. I’d suggest logging an issue on the GitHub page to see if that functionality is available today, and if not then make it a feature request!

Pricing is definitely something to weigh up with the different offerings in cloud platforms!

Howdy. Yes, this is a live load test against the target endpoint you provide when performing the test, so it will generate real load and therefore impact the performance. It's not a simulation, it is real load hitting the target. So you're right in thinking through whether you'd want to do this against, say, a production endpoint, or maybe have another environment that is used for load testing, with the same architecture as your production site, but doesn't have active users that will be impacted by the test.

The catch I see with creating a separate environment is paying for the 1 instance even when load testing is not being performed. In my research, the one way I've noticed this can be tackled with is by using Azure Container apps that have the ability to go down to 0 instance ( no charge ) when not in use, and an autoscaling can be put in place for it to scale to 1 instance or more once the requests start coming in ( the only issue I see here is the initial requests the load test would send would fail with a 503 as there wouldn't be an instance available to service them ? ). Not an ideal solution, however let me know if a different method comes to your mind. Thanks a bunch for the response, great video ! :)@@MattAllford

@@user-ht4mn2ud1o​​⁠I’m glad you enjoyed the video! This is really one of those “it depends” kind of things, but I really do mean that. If the infrastructure isn’t too large and complex, maybe you can deploy it via pipelines using Infrastructure as Code, deploy the application, load test against that environment, and then delete the environment. This could all be done using pipelines such as Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions. A lot of customers I work with will typically have multiple environments, so they will usually have a test/dev/staging/uat/whatever environment, separate to production, and one of those environments can (usually) be leveraged to run load tests against. Or as you said, if the endpoint is running in infrastructure like serverless functions or container apps that could be scaled to 0, maybe you can have a pipeline that scales it up, potentially even pauses if the app needs a little bit of time to get “warm”, and then your load test could be invoked in that same pipeline.

You are most welcome 🙂

Thank you for watching!

Unfortunately I don’t really take requests on the content that I choose to produce here on the channel

No worries, hopefully it was helpful! I haven’t come across that issue before sorry.

Thanks for watching. I’m not 100% sure what you’re referring to sorry. I suspect your best bet might be to add an issue on the GitHub repo for the project with a feature request?

Cheers mate 🙂

Hey, There is a note in the readme to say the Azure Naming Tool has moved to a new repository. Here is the new location - github.com/mspnp/AzureNamingTool I’ll update the description on this video when I get a moment. Cheers, Matt.

@@MattAllford Hi Matt, I cant seem to deploy as it seems to be complaining of not having a docker image there. Because of the repo location change, it seems to be missing the docker file? Any ideas?

Hi Satish. There’s probably a bit much there for a UA-cam comment. Have you tried enabling it in the portal and replicating the configuration in Bicep? I’d suggest your question might be better posed on a forum such as reddit or stack overflow, where some more verbose discussion can occur.

Hey there, thanks for watching! The jmx were shared, there is a link in the description :) Here it is again though - gist.github.com/mattallford/afd3da52a5adb2ad93c8462f477e39ca Hope that helps!

@@MattAllford oh thank you, i wasn't expecting a response, forget about such a fast response. I was struggling with key vault - get secret call. But I was trying that for a secret parameter unlike getting the header for function app. It does not recognise the key... However, if i use simple get environment call it does pull out the key vault secret and pass it as parameter to https request. Your http header with key vault call will be very helpful now with available jmx. Thanks 🙏

No worries at all! I'll always endeavor to reply to people where I can, that's what this is all about! Let me know how you get on - hopefully having access to the jmx files helps you figure out the key vault retrieval.

Hey Satish, I don’t have anything planned on configuring the Azure DR services using Bicep at the moment.

Thanks so much for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video!

You’re most welcome! And yep, good times with less JSON 😁
