Azure DevOps Analytics is easy

Obviously, you can do many things in Azure DevOps, but there may be some cases where you may need to do something special to get what you wanted. Here, I wanted to know my Sprint capacity programmatically as I need to find the average sprint capacity and the area where my team is spending time, whether it is Development or Testing, etc. Unfortunately, there is no option to see that in the Azure DevOps, but luckily there are APIs we can get this information. Here, in this post, we will see how we can get that, let’s get started.

Azure AD App + PowerShell

Multi-tenant users from Azure AD + Graph + .Net Core

Introduction

Working with Microsoft Graph is fun, but it can get way too complex when the requirement is getting complex. Recently, I was working with such a requirement. I wanted to load users from different tenants, usually, this is too easy, and you just need an admin user in the tenant to load all the users using Graph API. But, in our case, there is no guarantee that the logged-in user is actually present in that tenant. …

Why I think Microsoft should update the docs!

I recently had to work with the so-called Microsoft Partner Center Secure App Model with KeyVault integration, so I went through the GitHub sample provided and downloaded the same. As it was a completely new thing for me, I had to go through many documentation provided by Microsoft, for example, this documentation says about the Authentication, and that’s exactly what I wanted to try. Sometimes following the document will not work, and I had to spend hours fixing the issues. That is the reason why I planned to write this post. I hope it will be helpful.

How does authentication work?

Before we go…

Multi-Stage Pipeline + Asp.Net Core + Angular + Azure App Service

Create a multi-stage pipeline, for our Asp.Net core and Angular application, with a task to deploy it to the Azure App Service.

When do you actually think about the deployment? Is it from the day you start developing your application or once after finished developing? If you are in the second category, it is already late to move to the first category. The word pipeline comes into the picture when we talk about deployment. This way we can easily achieve Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. So, here in this post, we are going to see how we can create a…
