Azure Weekly Newsletter Issue #338

powered by endjin

Welcome to issue 338 of Azure Weekly. One of the biggest news articles this week was from Wiz, a Cloud Security Company, who revealed severe security issue with Cosmos DB, which they have named "ChaosDB", whereby access to credentials could be obtained by a vulnerability in Jupyter Notebooks, which have been enabled by default in February 2021. They have produced a high level summary of the vulnerability and a deep dive article called ChaosDB: How we hacked thousands of Azure customers’ databases. If you're a Cosmos DB user, it's essential reading.

In the Synapse space, James Broome has blogged about Managing schemas in Azure Synapse SQL Serverless, while Kevin Chant shows how to use Azure Test Plans example for Azure Synapse Analytics. There are a couple of interesting posts about combining various Azure services to deliver complete solutions. The first is Real-Time Streaming using Power BI Streaming Dataset, and the second is Azure Percept, Stream Analytics, and PowerBI all work together.

Other interesting posts include: Azure Functions Integration Testing, send a Microsoft Teams message when new OCI artifacts appear in Azure Container Registry, and a nice example of what's possible with GitHub Codespaces in Codespaces meet Dapr. There are also a number of Azure Service Retirement announcements scattered throughout the newsletter, these are worth checking out, to see if any will impact your Azure estate.

Finally I wanted to congratulate Ed Freeman (who runs the Power BI Weekly newsletter) on his marriage to Kirsty this week. I was privileged to attend, and it was a gloriously happy day.
