News For Dev-ops

In part one of our series, we explored the essentials of identity and access management (IAM) , laying the groundwork for understanding how robust IAM practices can enhance the security and usability of your applications. If you haven’t read it yet, we highly recommend starting there first to get a comprehensive overview of IAM fundamentals. Building on the foundation laid out in part one, this blog post delves deeper into the world of application types and authentication flows . Our focus is on helping you navigate the complexities of securing applications through the proper implementation of authentication frameworks. Understanding these different types of authentication flows, how they work, and when to use them is essential for protecting user data and ensuring a seamless user experience. We acknowledge that the landscape of digital security is constantly evolving. And the guidance outlined below, like most security guidance, is subject to change as the landscape evolves. We’ve d...

We have an exciting opportunity for customers and partners to use External REST Endpoint Invocation with Azure SQL Managed Instance in a private preview. What is Azure SQL Managed Instance? Azure SQL Managed Instance is a PaaS service that has near 100% compatibility with the latest Enterprise Edition SQL Server database engine, providing a native  virtual network (VNet)  implementation that addresses common security concerns, and a  business model  favorable to existing SQL Server customers. SQL Managed Instance allows existing SQL Server customers to lift and shift their on-premises applications to the cloud with minimal application and database changes. At the same time, SQL Managed Instance provides all PaaS capabilities (automatic patching and version updates,  automated backups ,  high availability ) to drastically reduce management overhead and the total cost of ownership (TCO). SQL Managed Instance is designed for customers looking to migrate a lar...

Last time, we developed a stateful but coalescing update notification , and we noted that the UI thread was doing a lot of heavy lifting. What if you don't have a UI thread to do implicit serialization for you? If there were no resume_foreground( Dispatcher()) , we would have a race if a Text­Changed occurs after the worker has decided to exit, but before it has had a chance to mark itself as not busy. Here's an alternate version that demonstrates the race. class EditControl { ⟦ ... existing class members ... ⟧ std::atomic<bool> m_busy; std::mutex m_mutex; std::optional<string> m_pendingText; }; winrt::fire_and_forget EditControl::TextChanged(std::string text) { auto lifetime = get_strong(); ExchangePendingText(std::move(text)); if (m_busy.exchange(true)) { co_return; } co_await winrt::resume_background(); while (auto pendingText = ExchangePendingText(std::nullopt); pendingText) { auto matche...
